Portuguese League reaffirms commitment to centralization of broadcasting rights

The Portuguese Professional Football League has declared that it will continue to adhere to the decree-law that ensures the centralization of broadcasting rights starting from the 2028/29 season. This position comes after Sport Lisboa e Benfica submitted a petition to parliament requesting the suspension of the aforementioned law.

The centralization of broadcasting rights is a recurring issue that sparks debates among clubs. By resorting to this legislative initiative, Benfica aims to influence the application of the relevant regulation.

The League reaffirms that the enforcement of the law will continue, regardless of the actions taken by the Benfica club, emphasizing its commitment to the legal framework surrounding the rights.
