Silverbird Television, Nigeria TV station has signed on to broadcast one live English Premier League match per week over the course of the 2020-2021 season.
This deal was agreed with Integral, the current free-to-air rights holder for the Premier League matches in Nigeria.
Integral secured its rights in a sub-license deal from the Infront Sports & Media agency, the substantive rights holder for free-to-air distribution rights in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Integral currently has a similar deal with national broadcaster NTA and will now be adding Silverbird TV as an additional broadcaster partner.
Silverbird will air a game each Saturday on its free-to-air channel and show a handful of Premier League produced magazine programmes weekly.
STV can be viewed terrestrially on StarTimes Channel 109 and UHF 23.
