PSV - Feyenoord to be broadcast live in more than 150 countries this weekend
When PSV and Feyenoord kick off at the Philips Stadion on Sunday afternoon, it will not only be fans in the Netherlands tuning in. The Eredivisie clash will be broadcast worldwide by 32 international broadcasters and shown live in no fewer than 154 countries.
From North and South America to Asia and the Middle East, football fans around the world will be able to watch PSV v Feyenoord live on Sunday. Every matchweek, international broadcasters are provided with four live Eredivisie matches. These broadcasts come with English-language graphics and commentary as standard. In several countries, coverage is further enhanced with local commentary, customised graphics and additional analysis tailored to the local market.
The distribution of the live matches is coordinated by Eredivisie CV. From the Netherlands, the feeds are distributed via the international Eredivisie hub in London to media partners around the world. In addition to live matches, Eredivisie CV provides broadcasters with supplementary content including club information, player data, footage and historical statistics.
Kick-off time also plays an important role. A 14:30 CET start makes the match attractive to audiences across several continents at the same time. While supporters in Jakarta can tune in at 19:30, the match kicks off in New York at 08:30 in the morning.
International interest in the Eredivisie is also driven by players who enjoy considerable popularity in their home countries. This has been evident for many years across various countries in the Arab region and is now also increasingly visible in markets such as Japan and Indonesia.
The worldwide broadcast of PSV v Feyenoord highlights the international appeal of the Eredivisie. By making matches, data and additional content available to media partners across the globe, Eredivisie CV increases the visibility of Dutch clubs and enables the competition to reach millions of football fans worldwide every week.
