This is a list of television broadcast deals for association football leagues per country. The largest domestic TV deal is the Premier League, which has agreed a deal from 2022-2025 of £4.896bn for the three years.[1] It is also the highest value deal per game, as leagues in Scotland and England do not show every match live and have a Saturday 3pm blackout, banning all football matches to be shown live (both domestic and abroad) between 2:45pm and 5:15pm. This is unusual as most other leagues broadcast every match live.
Note that the European first tier competition values (for the eligible deals) are reported from the 2020/21 season and might have been exceptional due to the Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on association football.

}} Liga MX, officially known as Liga BBVA MX for sponsorship reasons,[24] is the top professional division of Mexican football. Formerly called Liga Mayor (1943–1949) and then Primera División de México (1949–2012), it has 18 clubs and the season is divided into two short tournaments, Apertura from July to December and Clausura from January to May. The champions of each tournament is decided by a final phase called "liguilla". Since 2020, promotion and relegation has been suspended, which is to last until 2026. The league currently ranks first in CONCACAF's league ranking index.[25] According to the IFFHS, Liga MX was ranked as the 10th strongest league in the first decade of the 21st century.[26] According to CONCACAF, the league – with an average attendance of 25,557 during the 2014–15 season – draws the largest crowds on average of any football league in the Americas and the third largest crowds of any professional sports league in North America, behind only the NFL and MLB. It is also the fourth most attended football league in the world behind Germany's Bundesliga, England's Premier League and Spain's La Liga.[27] Liga MX ranks second in terms of television viewership in the United States, behind the English Premier League.[28] América have won the league a record of 15 times, followed by Guadalajara with 12 titles, Toluca 10 titles and Cruz Azul 9 titles.[29] In all, twenty-four teams have won the top professional division title at least once.[29] |
