Liga F, the governing body of top-flight Spanish women's football, has awarded its domestic broadcasting rights to DAZN, RTVE and TV3 for the next three seasons.
The Audiovisual Rights Control Body of Liga F confirmed the agreement for Spain and Andorra following weeks of uncertainty surrounding which networks would carry the competition.
Subscription streaming platform DAZN secured the rights to air all eight matches of each matchday round. Public broadcasters RTVE and TV3 will share four matches per matchday on free-to-air television, allowing supporters to watch half of each weekend's games without a subscription.
Free-to-air broadcasting strategy
The new broadcasting structure reflects a deliberate strategy by member clubs to combine subscription coverage with free-to-air television. Liga F aims to maximize visibility for the league while boosting overall audience numbers, club revenue, player profiles and sponsorship deals.
Liga F is the top division of women's football in Spain, featuring top clubs including Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Radiotelevisión Española, known as RTVE, is Spain's state-owned national broadcaster, while TV3 operates as the public television network for the region of Catalonia.
Growth in matchday viewership
The deal comes after significant audience growth across the country. Official figures released by Liga F show that the 2025/26 season concluded with a cumulative total of 7.5 million viewers.
That total represents an 11.2 percent increase over the previous season. Viewership for the 2025/26 campaign was also 127 percent higher than the audience recorded during the 2022/23 season, according to the league.
International rights and reporting
Spanish sports newspaper Mundo Deportivo first reported the domestic rights agreement following earlier uncertainty over how broadcasts would be distributed among competing networks.
For international markets, Liga F chose to negotiate broadcasting rights directly on a country-by-country basis. League organizers took that step after receiving inquiries from broadcast operators in multiple overseas regions.
