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.”

Jørgen Madsen Lindemann, MTG President and CEO, commented: “We are proud to have provided coverage of top flight Danish football since 1998, and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership with Divisionsforeningen until 2021.
