Galicia, Aragón, and the Basque Country resume open-air basketball

The Liga Endesa expands its presence on Spanish regional screens with an agreement that marks a turning point for regional basketball. TVG, Aragón TV, and EITB join the broadcasting ecosystem of the Liga Endesa, breaking an eleven-year dry spell without presence on these channels. The deal, valid for the next two seasons, positions these television stations as fundamental pillars in the dissemination of Spanish basketball during prime Sunday viewing hours.

Galicia experiences a historic season

For Galician basketball, the 2026-27 season represents an unprecedented milestone. TVG and AGalega will offer all matchdays of the Liga Endesa freely, with a special emphasis on the three Galician teams participating in the competition: Leyma Coruña, Monbus Obradoiro, and Río Breogán. This scenario makes Galicia a privileged region compared to other communities, with comprehensive coverage of the tournament.

The television debut arrives next Sunday, September 27, at 12:00 PM with the match Río Breogán against Asisa Joventut. During the first three weeks, TVG will already visit the three Galician teams, consolidating the presence of regional basketball on the schedule. The first Galician derby is scheduled for the sixth round, on November 1, when Monbus Obradoiro hosts Río Breogán, a showdown that promises to capture the attention of local fans.

Aragón TV and EITB: ten matches per season

Aragón TV and EITB adopt a different strategy, showcasing ten matches per season that will serve as regular appointments in their respective lineups. Broadcasts on Aragón TV and Aragón Play will begin in the first round with La Laguna Tenerife against Casademont Zaragoza, scheduled for September 27 at 1:00 PM. The Zaragoza team, representing Aragón in the competition, will be the undisputed protagonist of this coverage, allowing Aragonese fans to closely follow their club at the highest level of Spanish basketball.

In the case of EITB, basketball integrates into its Kirolak universe with a proposal that shares the spotlight between Kosner Baskonia and Surne Bilbao. The first match on ETB1 and kirolakeitb.eus will be Leyma Coruña against Surne Bilbao in the second round, on Sunday, October 4, at 12:00 PM. The first Basque derby will arrive on November 22 at 12:00 PM with the clash between Surne Bilbao and Kosner Baskonia, a classic that will ignite the passion of Basque fans.

Return after a decade

This return represents a significant achievement for regional television stations, which have not broadcast the Liga Endesa for eleven years. The agreement reaffirms the ACB's commitment to the territorial dissemination of basketball and recognizes the importance of keeping the sport accessible to the entire population without subscription barriers. The establishment of a regular Sunday appointment in open broadcasting reinforces the habit of consuming basketball at strategic times.

Expansion of ACB's audiovisual reach

With these new agreements, the audiovisual reach of ACB competitions continues to expand in the 2026-27 season. The distribution strategy diversifies to reach different audience segments through multiple platforms and channels. The broadcasting model combines the accessibility of free content with paid options that offer comprehensive coverage.

DAZN remains the epicenter of digital distribution, providing all matches live and on-demand from any device for €5.99 per month in its Basketball Plan. The platform is also available through Movistar Plus+, where it offers two matches in the general package for all customers and the rest in specific sports or basketball packages. Orange TV and Vodafone TV complete the network of operators distributing ACB content, while other OTT and telecommunication operators provide access through individual subscriptions.

This distribution ecosystem ensures that fans of Spanish basketball have various options to follow the Liga Endesa. Those preferring free access can tune into TV3/3Cat in Catalonia, TVG in Galicia, Aragón TV in Aragón, and EITB in the Basque Country, with one match per round in the first three communities and ten matches per season in the latter two. This complementarity between free and paid platforms assures comprehensive coverage of the tournament, consolidating the position of Liga Endesa as a benchmark competition in Spanish basketball with maximum territorial visibility.
