Furthermore, SRG will still have the right right to show a certain amount of NLA playoff games and also remains a partner of the SIHF at least until 2022. Furthermore, all home games of the Swiss national team will be shown live by them.
As of the 2017-18 season, the new sports channel "MySports" will be set up to be included on the network of UPC as well as partner companies of SWISSDIGITAL. The channel will show one NLA game and one NLB game per week on free-TV while all the other NLA games are broadcast on additional (“MySports”) channels requiring a paid subscription. "MySports" will also show the games of the U20 World Junior Championship as well as those of the Women's World Championship.
UPC will hold the audiovisual rights for five years starting next season and pays an average of CHF 35.4 million for the rights per year. It will have yet to be worked out how the income from the TV rights will be divided between the Federation, the National team and the NL clubs.(mso)
