Benfica TV
Benfica TV or BTV is a Portuguese sports-oriented premium cable and satellite television network with two channels operated by S.L. Benfica. Its headquarters are located at the Estádio da Luz, with a second studio at the Caixa Futebol Campus. The first broadcast was on 2 October 2008 and regular transmissions began on 10 December. The channel was originally made available for free on all its cable operators, but on 1 July 2013 it was made a premium channel.
Unlike other football club television channels, Benfica TV markets and broadcasts Benfica league matches at home (until June 2016). In December 2015, Benfica sold these rights to NOS, the part owner of Sport TV. To increase the channel's content, they also own the TV rights in Portugal for the Premier League, Serie A, Ligue 1 and Ultimate Fighting Championship.
In Portugal, Benfica TV is available on cable, on IPTV and satellite packages of MEO and NOS, and on Cabovisão and Vodafone (both IPTV). Internationally, it is available to Portuguese speakers in Angola, Cape Verde, Mozambique, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, England, Canada and the United States.
