Warner Bros Discovery And EBU Land Olympic Games Broadcasting Rights In Europe
16.01.2023 - 13:39 / deadline.com
Warner Bros Discovery and the European Broadcasting Union have won the auction for Olympic Games broadcasting rights between 2026 and 2032.
Following a competitive tender put out by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the pair’s joint bid was successful and will take the rights in 49 territories.
This covers the Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortino in 2026, the Olympic Games in L.A. in 2028, the Winter Olympics of 2030 and the Brisbane Olympics in 2032, along with the Youth Olympic Games during the six-year period.

In the UK, where the Games legally have to be shown free-to-air, the BBC has already re-upped its agreement with WBD and will remain as the local host broadcaster until 2032 at least.
“The EBU and its Members provide unparalleled broadcast expertise and reach across Europe, and Warner Bros. Discovery, through the recent combination of Warner Media and Discovery, represents one of the world’s largest media and entertainment companies across all programming genres and platforms. It demonstrates the ongoing appeal of the Olympic Games across Europe,” said IOC President Thomas Bach.
“As the IOC redistributes 90% of the revenues it generates, this long-term agreement also provides critical financial stability to
