La Liga, the premier Spanish football league, has signed a broadcast deal with Viacom18’s Sports18 Channel for the next 3 years. Enabled and supported by Rise Worldwide, the La Liga football tournament will now air exclusively on Sports18 in India and Sri Lanka, along with select national and regional network channels and live-streamed on Voot & Jio platforms. The deal, which covers the Indian subcontinent, came into effect when the 2021-22 La Liga season got underway on August 13, 2021.
This means that La Liga will no longer be available on Facebook’s streaming platform and the reason for Facebook not renewing the deal was that the networking site was no longer interested in investing in live sports rights
Listed below are the channel numbers of Sports18 in each satellite service provider in Sri Lanka & the Indian Subcontinent:
| Dialog TV | Channels not available in Dialog TV |
| PEO TV | Channels not available in Dialog TV |
| Videocon (D2H) | Sports18 1 – 667 Sports18 1 HD – 666 |

Dialog TV currently doesn’t have this channel and we made a request to Dialog to add to their channels. They responded that they will share the suggestion with the respective team.
The Voot Select app and the Jio app will also live stream these games but it’s not available for users in Sri Lanka at the moment.
