UK public-service broadcaster the BBC will show the semi-final and final of Badminton’s European Mixed Team Championships in Copenhagen after agreeing a deal with rights holder Sportradar.
The tournament has already started, with defending champions Denmark facing challenges from teams like France, the Netherlands and Spain in their group. England, seeded second, have to face Ireland, Germany and Russia in their group.
Lutz Tigges, senior director audiovisual broadcast at Sportradar, said: “We are really looking forward to starting coverage of the European Badminton Mixed Team Championships in Denmark. Demand for the broadcast coverage has been really strong and being able to add the BBC to that across their digital channels is another endorsement of the event”.
Other licensees for the event include TV2 in Denmark, plus broadcasters in countries such as Spain, Poland, the former Yugoslavia and key Asian markets like China and South Korea, as well as news coverage across Europe through the EBU.
