BeIN Sports finds its “lifesaver” in YouTube for its IPTV attendance problems

After the attendance problems, BeIN Sport is “taking the middle road” and will offer the top European competition through YouTube, whose platform supports large simultaneous audience peaks without stress.

After receiving numerous criticisms for the problems arising from the attendance at peak times during the broadcast of Champions League matches, BeIN Sport has decided to “take the middle road” and offer the European Champions League from this week through YouTube, whose platform supports large simultaneous audience peaks without stress.

Subscribers will now be able to access the channel's complete programming through YouTube, including the live broadcast of matches from the top European competition. The channel will offer different viewing windows for the matches that are played simultaneously.

To access BeIN Sports content through YouTube, you only need to have a Smart TV (about five million in Spain), Tablet, PC or Smartphone and an Internet connection.

For 3 years, Mediapro (manager of the sports channel in Spain) and LaLiga have collaborated closely with YouTube, with more than 1.5 billion views each season.

For 9.99 euros per month, fans will be able to follow BeIN Sports programming 24 hours a day with the entire Champions League and Europa League live, as well as the Premier League, Ligue 1, Serie A, Copa Libertadores and the best international competitions.

In this way, the Champions League is present in the majority of possible windows (ITPV, Cable, OTT, APP and Internet) and through all devices (Smartphone, video game consoles, Smart TV, PC, tablets...) also thanks to the agreements with Vodafone, Orange, Telecable, YouTube and Real Madrid CF.
