Company extends deal that began in 2022
IMG is to continue to produce Channel 4’s England men’s team coverage.
The company delivered the six matches that the broadcaster aired last year, and that agreement has been extended to include the 14 European Qualifier and Nations League games that Channel 4 will air in 2023 and 2024. IMG will also deliver UEFA’s regular magazine show to partners, alongside digital and social content for 4Studios.
The coverage begins with England’s European Qualifier against defending champions Italy on Thursday 23rd March.
IMG also produces Channel 4’s coverage of the Super League - which the broadcaster took free-to-air for the first time in its history with a deal in 2021.
Pete Andrews, Channel 4’s head of sport, said: “At Channel 4 we’re really excited to be showing the next 14 England matches terrestrial television for the next two years. The Euro 2024 campaign starts here, live and free on Channel 4. We can’t wait to start working on these new matches with IMG, who presented really exciting proposals for the coverage.”
Barney Francis, executive vice president and head of global production at IMG, added: “We’re thrilled to be expanding our production partnership with Channel 4 and helping to bring their distinctive and innovative tone to live sports. We’ve built a reputation as best-in-class for our football production, working with partners and broadcasters to deliver premium coverage to fans around the globe from our world-leading production hub.”
