Peter Nørrelund, Head of MTG Sport, commented: “The Danish football league is a premium sports right that is massively popular with viewers, so we are delighted to have secured the rights for an unprecedented six further seasons. This provides us with the long-term perspective and commitment to continue to develop this high quality entertainment experience together with the clubs and the association, and for our viewers and subscribers.”
