Eurosport 2 will debut as the official broadcaster in Spain on the first matchday offering (live on TV and streaming via HBO Max) the matches ‘Dicorpebal Logroño La Rioja – Barça’ (Friday 11, at 19:00) and ‘Cajasol Sevilla BM Proin – Cajasol Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil’ (Saturday 12, at 19:00).

Fernando Corral, general director of ASOBAL, said: “This agreement represents a new step within the audiovisual model we are promoting at ASOBAL. We are especially pleased to go hand in hand with a leading operator, and that Eurosport has bet on the value and potential of our product. Being able to offer two live matches per round on a globally recognized platform not only rewards the effort of our clubs but also brings the excitement and competitiveness of our competition closer to a global audience, consolidating the growth of this sport and opening new doors for fans across the country.”

We will develop a 360 editorial plan, starting with our Eurosport TV channels, passing through the HBO Max streaming platform, and ending with digital support on web and social media. As the Home of the Olympic Games in Europe, ASOBAL handball fits perfectly within WBD. Now we just have to work and enjoy this sport, which is spectacular.”

Viewers following the Liga NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL this season on Eurosport 2 will be able to enjoy every weekend the talent of young prospects and established figures of the competition such as Dika Mem, right back and captain of Barça, who is the team's undisputed offensive reference and one of the best players in the world in his position, and Ludovic Fàbregas, the French pivot returning to the Blaugrana club after being chosen best defender in the previous All Star.
Also standing out are the stars of Fraikin BM.
