Just when we thought that ESPN+ couldn’t add any more soccer leagues to its streaming service, ESPN+ has added the Indian Super League, Sweden’s Allsvenskan and Danish Superliga to bring their total of different soccer leagues and competitions to 17 by our count.
As well as adding streaming coverage of leagues from Denmark, Sweden and India, ESPN today confirmed the news we reported two weeks ago that they have also added coverage of Coppa Italia and the Italian Supercup.
Here are more details about the rights to the Danish, Swedish and Indian leagues they’ve added:
Danish Superliga (Denmark):
· The 14-team league has a unique competition format – league-wide home-and-away series combined with teams paired into 10-match championship rounds for the top-six teams (bottom eight compete in relegation playoffs) – played July through May
· Current champion: FC Midtjylland
· Approximately 36 matches (one per week) will be streamed on ESPN+.
Allsvenskan (Sweden):
· The 16-team Allsvenskan is a foundational league for the Swedish National Team, which reached the 2018 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals
· Current champion: Malmö FF
· ESPN+ will stream 30 matches (one per week) April through November.
