Fans in the UK and Ireland have only previously been able to view Serie A games this season on subscription channel Premier Sports, which remains the Italian league's exclusive TV broadcast partner in the territory.
LiveScore, which has a global audience of 56 million people, will also show a number of games from the Primeira Liga, Portugal’s top tier.LiveScore marketing director Ric Leask said: “This is a hugely important step for LiveScore, as we continue to innovate and offer our audience the most immersive sports coverage possible.
“Serie A and Primeira Liga are two of the most popular and keenly followed European leagues amongst our two million monthly users within the UK and Ireland, so this is a fantastic opportunity to give something back to our loyal userbase. After a long wait for top-level football to return, this is a brilliant start for our new live streaming service.”
LiveScore announced the launch of its new free-to-air streaming platform at the end of last month as part of a partnership with OTT specialists StreamAMG.The eight teams remaining in European club soccer's premier competition will take part in a straight knockout tournament between 12th and 23rd August.
The four remaining last 16 second leg matches, including Manchester City v Real Madrid, will take place on 7th and 8th August.In addition, the culmination of this season’s second-tier Europa League from the last eight onwards will take place across four venues in Germany – Cologne, Duisburg, Dusseldorf and Gelsenkirchen – between 10th and 21st August.
Uefa also confirmed that all 12 original host cities will stage matches in the delayed Euro 2020 finals, which will start on 11th June next year.The outstanding playoff matches will be staged on 8th October and 12th November respectively.
Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said: “I am delighted that we are able to resume almost all of our competitions. I am confident that we will not have to endure the fans’ absence for long and that they will be allowed into stadiums sooner rather than later.Uefa took a bold decision when it decided to postpone Euro 2020. But in doing so, we created the space which has allowed domestic club competitions across the continent to resume, where possible, and play to a conclusion.
“While the game has suffered huge difficulties as a result of the pandemic, those blows would have landed much harder if we had not shown leadership in those early days.”
Ceferin said Uefa would decide by mid-July whether fans could be present at the respective Champions League and Europa League tournaments.
He said: “If I would answer today, we don’t think we could have spectators at the Champions League or Europa League finals, but things are changing rapidly.
