In particular, in response to the official appeals of the clubs, the games of FC Dynamo Kyiv, Dnipro-1, Zorya, and Metalist will be broadcast on the group's resources. 1+1 media group has active multi-year and long-term contracts with these clubs. However, this year football clubs transferred the rights to broadcast UPL matches free of charge, citing the importance of taking into account the interests of all fans, the maximum distribution of football content and free access to it.
For its part, 1+1 media will provide maximum free distribution of the matches and create additional content related to this important football event. Thus, the matches will be shown on the publicly accessible national TV channels 2+2 and UNIAN , which broadcast on digital air, which provides wide coverage throughout Ukraine. Also, live broadcasts will be available on YouTube channels of sports projects 1+1 media - FootballHub and "Profutbol Digital".

"The war in Ukraine continues, and at this time it is important to support each other and unite. Sports and football, in particular, are what millions of people are focused on. The Ukrainian football championship is a very important event for fans and football players themselves. Therefore, we sought to unite many caring people around UPL, thus supporting both the industry and fans. Football clubs and 1+1 media were ready to review the terms of the contracts and find a compromise solution with UPL and Setanta Sports. Like, for example, the free broadcast of the qualifying matches of the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League with a 15-minute delay. However, the position of the UPL was categorical regarding the accumulation of all rights exclusively on the paid service", 1+1 media commented.
1+1 media will cover all expenses related to the organization of telecasts of the matches of the specified clubs. The company emphasizes that nowadays it is extremely important to be as close as possible to the audience and fans. Therefore, the position of 1+1 media coincides with the position of football clubs, whose goal is to unite the maximum number of fans around football matches, giving them the opportunity to watch them for free, and to scale the interest in football among millions of Ukrainians around the world.
The first game that will be broadcast by 1+1 media will take place tomorrow, August 23, at 15:00 between the teams "Zorya" and "Vorskla". You can join the viewing on the 2+2 TV channel.
