SLeague on StarHub and ESPN

SLeague teams with StarHub and ESPN to broadcast matches live

The S-League has inked a one-year deal with StarHub and ESPN Star Sports to broadcast matches of the 2012 Great Eastern-Yeo's S-League season.

The deal will see 30 matches telecast "live" on StarHub TV Channel 112 and 201 every Thursday at 7.30 pm, starting with a 15-minute preview show before kick-off.

Of these, 26 are from the S-League, and the remaining four from the Starhub League Cup.

The first "live" match will be Thursday's opening S-League match between Gombak United and Harimau Muda of Malaysia at the Jalan Besar Stadium at 7.30pm.

Fans can view the games on StarHub's TV, online and mobile platforms.

The collaboration is part of S-League Version 2.0 to improve Singapore's premier domestic football competition, which will also see the S-League matches shown "live" overseas in Malaysia and Brunei, which S-League CEO Lim Chin believes will boost the S-League's regional appeal.

ESPN Star Sports will also broadcast a 30-minute highlight show across major STAR Sports networks covering 12 countries every Monday at 10pm from Feb 13.

The highights show will also be shown on StarHub, as well as on Astro Arena in Malaysia and Brunei.
