Telekom has secured extensive rights in basketball by 2029.
Telekom has secured further media rights in basketball: National team captain Dennis Schröder and Co. will continue to be shown in Magenta Sport and Magenta TV by 2029. Specifically, it is about a four-year contract for all competitions of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA)-including all live games of the 2026 home World Cup of women and the 2027 World Cup in Qatar.
“We are continuing with the FIBA and an even larger right of rights since 2015. In these ten years, the content of the live offer was so well developed in the case of magenta and MagentaTV in these ten years that basketball has also become much more popular in Germany,” said Dorothea Jacob from Magenttv : “The new agreement by 2029 creates a high degree of reliability for our partners, the German Basketball Bund, for the fans and the spectators ”.
The right-wing package specifically includes all games of the World Championships, European Championships and the German national teams in the Olympic qualification tournaments of men and women, and there are also the Junior World Championships.
Telekom had previously secured the rights to the upcoming European Championship (August 27 to September 14), in which Germany is one of the fellow favorites as world champion. The European Championships of women in the summer, in which the German team will run their preliminary round in Hamburg, also run with magenta and MagentaTV .
