History

In 2011, Al Jazeera Sport acquired the rights of broadcasting some of the French football league matches inside France and full marketing rights for the French league outside France.

Monday, 5 December 2011 UEFA announced on its website that Al Jazeera Sport awarded media rights in France for UEFA Champions League 2012–15.

According to the UEFA website, each season Al Jazeera Sport will broadcast 133 matches live across its television channels, internet and mobile services. The broadcaster has also committed to significant pre-match preview programming and highlights on both UEFA Champions League matchnights.[2]

BeIN Sport 1 launched on 1 June 2012 at 19h and BeIN Sport 2 launched on 27 July 2012 at 20h. BeIN Sport Max additional channels were launched on 10 August 2012. This was the launch of the BeIN brand.

On 1 January 2014, beIN Sport became beIN Sports, to show that it is multisports and not only football.
