Sky Sports has announced that it has reached a new agreement to continue broadcasting La Liga matches on British television.
The network, which has shown the Spanish top flight for almost 20 years, has secured the rights for a further three years, despite it being reported that they had pulled out of the bidding process last month.
President of La Liga, Javier Tebas, said in a statement: "Sky Sports is the leading sports broadcaster for the UK and Ireland and we are delighted to continue our partnership with them for another three years.
"La Liga has a huge global fan base and by renewing with Sky Sports, the agreement provides us with the best possible way to showcase our league, our teams and our players to our UK and Irish audience."
The new deal will allow Sky Sports to show over 100 live matches a season, including the El Clasico fixtures and the final of the Copa del Rey.
