Saran Secures Premier League And FA Cup Rights Until 2028
The Premier League has extended its broadcast rights agreement with Saran Media across 11 eastern European and central Asian countries until 2028.
The renewal with the Istanbul-based pay-TV provider takes effect from the 2025/26 season, and covers Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
Saran first acquired rights to the Premier League in 2021, in a four-year deal worth $21m (£16.4m) over its duration, according to GlobalData Sport.
Meanwhile, the broadcaster has also secured rights to the FA Cup across 13 territories, from the start of the upcoming 2024/25 campaign.
These include the aforementioned countries, with the exception of Belarus, and the addition of Ukraine, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The renewal comes ahead of the extra-preliminary round of the English domestic knockout cup competition, which commences on 2nd August.
The next Premier League season begins later this month, kicking off on 16th August.
