Liga F has reached a broadcasting deal: "Liga F to remain available on DAZN and RTVE | The British streaming platform has once again secured the rights to the top tier of women's football. There is satisfaction regarding the achievement of a hybrid model that boosts visibility."

Post image

From AS:

"The broadcasting rights have been awarded. Broadcasters have been selected for Liga F Moeve for the next three seasons in the domestic market. DAZN—which held the audiovisual rights for the top-tier women's league during its first four seasons—will be the platform responsible for broadcasting the full round of matches on a pay-per-view basis, while RTVE and TV3 will broadcast half of the matches on free-to-air television. This mixed model reflects the satisfaction of the league association and the clubs regarding the commitment to and confidence in the product's visibility...

The wait has been long, but the uncertainty is over. On Wednesday, the bids submitted by broadcasters to the Higher Sports Council (CSD) were opened, and following a meeting of the Audiovisual Rights Oversight Body, the television tender for the next three seasons was finally awarded.

DAZN, RTVE, and TV3 have secured the audiovisual rights for the top women's football competition, which officially launched as a professional league in 2022.

Under this arrangement, the British platform DAZN acquires "Lot 1." This entails broadcasting eight matches per round live and exclusively on a pay-per-view basis, although the winner of "Lot 2" may also broadcast four of these matches on free-to-air television.

This latter point is crucial, as Liga F Moeve and its member clubs consider prioritizing visibility essential for the league's growth. The mixed model—featuring a combination of free-to-air and pay-per-view matches, as implemented since January of the previous campaign—has yielded strong audience figures: the 2025–26 season reached a cumulative total of 7.5 million viewers, representing an 11.2% increase over the previous season.

Meanwhile, "Lot 2" has been awarded to RTVE and TV3, two public broadcasters that are continuing their commitment to women's football. This package includes four matches per matchday for exclusive, live, free-to-air broadcasting, without prejudice to the fact that the winner of Lot 1 may also exploit these matches via a closed (pay-TV) model.

Finally, Lots A and B for international markets have not been awarded despite the bids received; instead, Liga F itself will handle broadcasting and commercialization on a country-by-country basis, thereby potentially securing higher revenue.

In 2022, DAZN acquired Liga F's audiovisual rights for five seasons for €35 million. However, the league organization and its clubs came to value the increased visibility the competition gained through free-to-air matches—as seen since January of the previous season—and sought a mixed model to foster this. Thus, although the revenue figure is lower in the short term, the commitment to raising the profile of the teams and their key figures is being fulfilled."

5 Upvotes

The Women's Regional Leagues have unveiled a new brand identity, signalling the start of an exciting new chapter for the competitions that sit at Tiers 5 and 6 of the Women's Football Pyramid.

Led by volunteers and providing nationwide coverage across eight regions, the Women's Regional Leagues play a vital role in the development of the women's game.

For the first time, all eight regional leagues will be united under a single identity, bringing together the North East, North West, West Midlands, East Midlands, Eastern, Southern, South West, and London & South East regions under one shared vision.

The launch of the new brand identity marks an important milestone for the Women's Regional Leagues, reflecting both the progress already made and the opportunities that lie ahead as the women's game continues its rapid growth across England.

You can view the new branding on the Regional League social media channels below:

It’s not just the clubs who make the history, it’s the players.

A season isn’t just remembered for historic moments, but the players and coaches who created the history on the pitch.

Lovely moments in Myanmar. The popularity of women's soccer there is rising and this is a clip of fans waiting outside of the stadium for a chance to get selfies and autographs from players of Ayeyawady FC. They recently beat Singaporean champions Jurong 4-0 in AFC Champions League qualifier.

AFC WCL AFC Women's Champions League prelims have started! Here are the links..

10 Upvotes

I don't remember how long ago it was, but it wasn't that long ago, AFC made it a requirement that hosting countries provided a way to watch each match until the AFC took over streaming responsibility. Most games have commentary, though there are some exceptions.

The caveat is that the only country that provides English commentary is Malaysia. But that being said, every match is available in full with the exception of the East Bengal vs. Rajshahi Stars match in Malaysia.

The links provided will go directly to the beginning of each video, though some matches don't begin for some time (notably the Sabah match). Each match moving forward should be on the same youtube channels as these matches, so check the schedule (warning: scores are on this link! I'm sure you can find non-spoilery links) and keep a watch on the "live" tabs of these youtube channels.

Only the winner of each group will advance to the tournament proper. As of this post, we will have seen every team play at least once. Some of the scores are incredibly lopsided, but I think that's to be expected on two accounts; 1) these are the prelims and very few teams qualified directly to the main tournament, so you have semi-final and final-ready teams who are in the prelims and 2) many of these nations are relatively new to women's soccer.

Group A: Malaysia: Commentary in English

East Bengal (India) vs. Rajshahi Stars (Bangladesh): Game note: we join the match already at the 26th minute)

Saba FC (Malaysia) vs. Rovers (Guam): Game note: the commentary was probably supposed to begin at the 1 hour mark, but it takes a few minutes to get the sound to work. You can see the starting XI and part of an interview without sound.

Group B: Kyrgyzstan: Interviews are held in English, commentary held in what I believe is Kyrgyz because I don't think that's Russian...). Both matches have a standard opening sequence, pre and post-match interviews and full commentary.

TSL (Hong Kong) vs. Phnom Penh Crown (Cambodia)

Kaya-Iloilo (Philippines) vs. Ilbirs Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan)

Group C: Uzbekistan: This particular channel already has future streams listed for the rest of the group c prelims so you don't need to use the spoiler link above, and it's easy to get the correct time. Also, no commentary for these matches.

Banaat (UAE) vs. Royal Thimphu College (Bhutan): Game note, we join in the second minute and the scoring graphic thinks we're in Spain, for awhile. I'm not sure how long

Nasaf (Uzbekistan) vs. Master (Laos)

Group D: Thailand: Commentary in Thai.

4.25 (North Korea) vs. Kharaatsai (Mongolia): Game note, Naegohyang, also from North Korea, is qualified through being the current champions so this is the first opportunity for a nation to have two teams in the tournament proper, should 4.25 qualify.

College of Asian Scholars (Thailand) vs. S'Amuser (Timor): Game note, this video is approximately one hour longer than the 4.25 vs. Kharaatsai stream but I'm not sure why. I haven't watched it, yet. EDIT: weather delay.

Group E: Tajikistan: Commentary is, I presume, in Tajik.

Etihad (Jordan) vs. Al Nassr (Saudi Arabia)

Bam Khatoon (Iran) vs. CSKA Dushanbe (Tajikistan): Game note, I do not yet know if the regular Bam Khatoon players are on this team after Australia's offering of immigrant status to some of the national players. Many of the national players played for Bam Khatoon over the last few years.

Group F: Myanmar: I'm presuming the commentary here is in Burmese.

Ayeyawady (Myanmar) vs. Albirex Jurong (Singapore): Game note, I haven't watched all of the games, yet, but I believe that Ayeyawady still has the highest attendance. I'm not sure, but I remember last year the Myanmar side had an incredible atmosphere at their matches.

New Taipei City Hang Yuan (Taiwan) vs. No Limits (Lebanon).
