also holds the pay-TV broadcasting rights in Denmark for the same period.

Under the terms of the new agreement, the matches will be shown in Sweden on the

League is the most popular domestic club football competition in the world and
has a huge fan base in Scandinavia. We are therefore delighted to have both
prolonged our exclusive TV rights in Sweden and now secured an enhanced rights
package in Denmark. We will continue to provide viewers with premium coverage of
matches for the next three years in SD, HD and 3D, and on as many platforms and
