BeIN Sports has recently announced that it will broadcast all the remaining matches of the UEFA Women’s Champions League 2024 (UWCL) on its free-to-air beIN Sports channel and official YouTube channel throughout the MENA region. This move is part of the channel’s beINSPIRED programme, which aims to promote underrepresented sports and talent, particularly women in sports.
BeINSPIRED was launched in 2019 to provide a broader platform for women’s sports. It has been an instrumental factor in beIN Sports’ extensive portfolio of women’s sports rights across its 24 MENA markets and beyond.
This is the fourth year in a row that beIN Sports offers free-to-air coverage of the UWCL. The growing popularity and interest in women’s football in the region are evident, with almost 2 million viewers tuning in to watch last year’s UWCL final, in which Barcelona emerged victorious.
The UWCL quarterfinals will start on March 19, with Ajax hosting Chelsea and Benfica welcoming Lyon. Reigning champions Barcelona will travel to face Brann, while PSG will play against Hacken the following day.
BeIN Sports has one of the most comprehensive global broadcasting portfolios of women’s sports rights. Its acquisitions include Formula 1 ACADEMY, a female-only single-seater racing championship founded by Formula 1. Additionally, beIN Sports holds the rights to prestigious events such as the UEFA Women’s EURO and FIFA Women’s World Cup.
In the upcoming months, beIN Sports will continue to promote women’s sports by showcasing top talents competing in events such as the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, AFC Women’s Under-20 Asian Cup Uzbekistan 2024, FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup Colombia 2024, FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup Dominican Republic, as well as three remaining Grand Slam tennis tournaments and the Billie Jean King Cup. Also, the channel will provide year-round live coverage of the Premier Padel Tour for viewers.
