Band suspends Saudi league broadcast contract after betting sponsorship loss
By SectorWire desk ·
Summary
Band suspended its Saudi league broadcast contract, which attributed the decision to a betting sponsorship loss following Brazil’s ban on betting houses. The package covered more than 70 matches across free-to-air television and BandSports. X Sports will carry the league exclusively on free-to-air television, while SporTV and Canal Goat retain their contracts.
Why it matters
The suspension removes one betting-sponsored football broadcast and shifts free-to-air coverage to X Sports.
