Benzema, Pedri, Joao Felix or Bryan Gil are about to land in Thailand and Indonesia, albeit figuratively. These players will not be signed to local teams in these countries, but will join hundreds of players online thanks to the LaLiga Pass. This is a OTT that will allow you to watch matches without being tied to an operatorbut only in these Asian countries (at least for now).

This is by LaLiga, that this new platform is not only for live streams of the first and second league, but also for other related content such as summaries, interviews or documentaries. All this in the local language of each country and for a price of around 2.66 Euros (not taking into account the cost or value of each currency).

From LaLiga Sports TV to LaLiga Pass with all national football

LaLiga Sports TV has become a reality in our country since the end of 2019 and although it has been offering a premium version since September, that’s about it. do not include major and minor league football. It is geared towards other sports like basketball, handball, hockey and even eSports.

LaLiga Pass yes it will present all men’s soccer matches LaLiga Santander and LaLiga OpenBank. As we mentioned earlier, it will only be in Thailand and Indonesia. There they will be presenting all the matches live for a monthly subscription of 99 Thai baths and 45,000 Indonesian rupees.

LaLiga described this expansion as “a logical evolution in the competition’s efforts to be closer to fans worldwide.” However, given Telefónica owns the rights until 2027. It seems hard to imagine that the broadcasting platform that LaLiga wants will come to our country. Or at least not with football, which is where the highest market value should be.

Therefore, and even at the expense of future changes in the always controversial television rights, it seems that being able to watch all the matches of the national competition online without being connected to an operator will continue to be a delusion.
