Mediaset Spain has announced an agreement with UEFA to broadcast matches from the Euro 2016 tournament which gets underway in France on June 10th.
The operator, which owns Tele 5 and Cuatro among other channels, will broadcast 23 of 51 games including all the matches featuring Spain, the defending champions.
The cost of the rights will amount to around €45 million. Comparatively in 2012, Mediaset paid €40 million for 31 matches at Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.
