Overview

  • ProSiebenSat.1 will exclusively broadcast all German national team matches and selected finals of the 2027, 2029, and 2031 Handball World Championships on free-to-air TV.
  • Streaming platform Dyn has acquired global pay-TV and streaming rights for every match in the tournaments, offering comprehensive live coverage.
  • The agreement, brokered by SPORTFIVE, also includes Olympic qualifiers, youth world championships, and beach handball competitions involving German teams.
  • This marks a significant shift from public broadcasters ARD and ZDF, which held the rights from 2021 to 2025, reflecting increased competition for sports media rights.
  • The 2027 tournament, hosted in Germany, is expected to draw record-breaking viewership, potentially exceeding ten million viewers for key matches.
