Sports broadcasting contracts in Brazil

Among the sports broadcasters in Brazil are the subscription channels ESPN, SporTV, Fox Sports, BandSports; the pay-per-view channels Premiere FC; and the subscription video streaming services HBO Max, Star+, DAZN and Eleven Sports.

Association Football (Soccer)

National Championships

Globo broadcasts games of the First Division (Série A) only, on Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoon. The games are regionally divided. Globo has the rights to broadcast all games.

SporTV broadcasts games from both First and Second Division (Série B). On the first division, SporTV can only broadcast games from: Atlético-GO, Atlético-MG, Botafogo, Bragantino, Corinthians, Flamengo, Fluminense, Goiás, Grêmio, São Paulo, Sport and Vasco. On the second division, SporTV has the rights to broadcast all games, but the channel reserves some games for its sister PPV channel, Premiere.[1]

Premiere (Globo's PPV channel) has the rights to broadcast games from both First and Second Division. On the first division, Premiere can broadcast games from all teams, except Athletico-PR (38 games). On the second division, Premiere has the rights to broadcast all games.

After long negotiations, TNT Sports got the rights to broadcast games from Athletico, Bahia, Coritiba, Ceará, Fortaleza, Internacional, Palmeiras and Santos. On games that both teams have contract with TNT sports, TNT or Space broadcast the game exclusively on Cable TV, meaning that Globo can still broadcast them. On games that one of the teams has contract with Premiere and the other with TNT sports, the game is broadcast by TNT or Space and Premiere.[2]

DAZN broadcasts and TV Nsports (app) share the rights for most part of the games from the Third Division (Série C).[3]

Eleven Sports (app) and TV Brasil share the rights for most part of the games from the Fourth Division (Série D).

State Championships

Globo, SporTV and Premiere also broadcast the major part of the pre-season state championships. In 2020, Globo and FERJ had a disagreement, due to broadcasting rights for Flamengo's games. FERJ deactivated their contract with Globo, allowing teams to choose whether or not broadcast their games on the TV channel. Flamengo and multiple teams chose to broadcast their remaining games on their respective channels on YouTube. The final game was broadcast by SBT after negotiations between the channel and Flamengo and Fluminense FC.[4]
