La Liga Nexus Energía ASOBAL has officially secured a new broadcast partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Sports to televise live matches across Eurosport channels in Spain and stream them via HBO Max throughout the 2026/2027 season, according to announcements from both organizations.
New Broadcast Deal Brings Spanish Handball to Eurosport
The agreement ensures that fans across Spain and beyond can watch two of the marquee matches from each of the 30 rounds of the 37th ASOBAL season live on Eurosport 2. Spanning from September 2026 through June 2027, the arrangement covers the premier professional competition for men’s club handball in Spain, featuring the nation’s top 16 teams.
According to the official schedule released for the opening weekend, Eurosport 2 will launch its coverage on Friday, September 11, 2026. The broadcaster’s debut slate features Dicorpebal Logroño La Rioja hosting Barça at 19:00 local time, followed by Cajasol Sevilla BM Proin facing Cajasol Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil on Saturday, September 12, at 19:00 local time.
Comprehensive Editorial Coverage and Expert Commentary
Warner Bros. Discovery Sports has assembled a dedicated team of experts and commentators to helm the broadcasts. The on-air lineup features Paco Trapero, Albert Rocas, JJ Hombrados, Arturo Pérez, and Eduardo de Paz, who will provide play-by-play analysis and live commentary from the courtside.
According to Fernando Ruiz, director of sports for Warner Bros. Discovery Iberia, the network plans to deploy a complete 360-degree editorial strategy. Coverage will extend beyond traditional television broadcasts on Eurosport and streaming via HBO Max to include dedicated digital support across web and social media platforms, mirroring the approach previously used for other sports properties like the LNFS and UFC.
Leadership Perspectives on the ASOBAL Partnership
ASOBAL general director Fernando Corral highlighted the significance of the partnership for the domestic clubs and the sport’s global reach. Corral stated that aligning with a premier global operator rewards the hard work of the league’s clubs and helps showcase the competitiveness of Spanish handball to a broader international audience.
From the broadcaster’s perspective, Fernando Ruiz noted that adding Spain’s elite men’s handball league aligns naturally with Warner Bros. Discovery’s status as the home of the Olympic Games in Europe, reinforcing the company’s sustained commitment to Olympic sports and athletes.
Star Talent Set to Shine on Eurosport 2
Viewers tuning into the broadcasts will see a mix of emerging young talent and established household names in handball. Among the marquee figures highlighted by league coverage is Dika Mem, the right back and captain of Barça, widely recognized as an elite offensive force and one of the premier players in world handball.
