The platform will cease its operations on June 30.

LaLiga officially announced that it will shut down its streaming platform, LaLiga+.

“After almost 10 years of boosting the visibility of the sport and creating an unparalleled community, LaLiga+ will cease broadcasting on June 30,” they announced.

The group explained that the closure was partly due to “the evolution of the audiovisual market and changes in consumption habits,” which “have created a new context in which the OTT platform has fulfilled its cycle and purpose within LaLiga’s audiovisual strategy.”

“This decision reflects a forward-looking strategic vision, whose objective is to continue connecting with audiences wherever they are,” they added.

The group explained that the platform will cease broadcasting on June 30 at midnight and will no longer be available to users after that date. They also clarified that June will be free for current subscribers.

“We leave proud of the journey we’ve taken. Thank you to everyone who made it possible!”

The companies collaborate to detect and eliminate pirated streams to help prevent lost revenue.

Fastly and LaLiga, Spain’s Professional Football Association, announced they have teamed up to develop technical solutions to address the illegal streaming of live sports, with special focus on LaLiga’s matches.

With LaLiga estimating that piracy costs its clubs between US$700-US$800 million (€600-€700 million) each year, the two companies are collaborating on a joint anti-piracy innovation project with the dual goals of helping platforms combat piracy and enabling rights holders like LaLiga to preserve the strategic and economic value of their copyrighted content by mitigating illegal use.

Fastly and LaLiga began collaborating last year, motivated by the scale of illegal streaming of live sports, with numerous unauthorized streaming sites active on each match day. To help LaLiga combat this content theft, Fastly has developed a targeted, intelligent detection system that leverages AI and proprietary content signals to identify illegal streams in real time.

A 2025 study by Grant Thornton revealed that at least 10.8 million unauthorized retransmissions of live events were detected in 2024, over 81% of these retransmissions were never suspended, and only 2.7% were addressed within the first 30 minutes of the event.

Fastly’s solution is designed to address these challenges by enabling the removal of illegal content by its platform customers with enhanced precision and dramatically reduces the window of opportunity for piracy. This unique approach reflects Fastly’s strong commitment to leveraging technology to help its customers protect their platforms and rights holders better protect their intellectual property without needing to resort to legal enforcement measures against intermediaries.

“At LaLiga, we have succeeded in reducing piracy of our streams in Spain by 60% during the 2024/25 season through a comprehensive, end-to-end strategy focused on legal, educational, institutional, and technological measures,” said Javier Tebas, President at LaLiga. “This success is due in large part to our ecosystem of partners like Fastly, enabling us to continue exploring new and more effective ways to tackle piracy at its root. LaLiga remains firmly committed to putting an end to piracy, and achieving this goal requires the collaboration of all stakeholders working together.”

LaLiga and Fastly’s joint initiative comes as part of their wider efforts that allow media and publishing companies to flag confirmed pirated content and segments. Fastly and LaLiga are actively collaborating with other technology companies, publishers, and regulators to develop software solutions and best practices that quickly detect and disable unauthorized streaming while leaving all other traffic untouched.

This collaboration also reinforces Fastly’s commitment to its customer community and working with organizations like LaLiga that share a joint vision of acting with integrity to build a more trustworthy web that benefits both consumers and the organizations that entertain, inform, and engage them.

“Unlike alternative approaches based on regional blocking, our strategy focuses on precision, letting fans enjoy the game while protecting content from abuse by criminals,” said Kelly Shortridge, Chief Product Officer at Fastly. “At Fastly, we love co-innovating with customers to solve their thorniest challenges, and we look forward to continuing our work with LaLiga to help protect content owners around the world.”

The alliance is to expand the distribution and monetization internationally of its FAST Channel, LaLiga Inside.

For the third consecutive year, LaLiga has partnered with The Channel Store to manage the distribution and advertising-based monetization of its FAST channel LaLiga Inside.

Over the past three years, The Channel Store has distributed the 24-hour LaLiga Inside channel across more than 11 platforms, including Tivify, Samsung TV+, LG Channels, VIDAA, TCL, Agile TV, Rakuten, Orange, Xiaomi, Lowi, and Vodafone TV.

LaLiga Inside is a channel dedicated to the best contents related to LaLiga matches, the latest news on Spanish football, documentaries, live broadcasts of various events, exclusive content created by different clubs, and original productions by LaLiga for fans of the sport.

The renewal of this collaboration for the third consecutive year highlights the commitment of both LaLiga and The Channel Store to high-quality sports content and innovative projects with new distribution and monetization formats.

“At The Channel Store we really care about growing and learning together with our top customers, finding the best platforms, channel promotion slots and making data-driven decisions. We liked being challenged and pushed further by such a strong partner as LaLiga”, pointed out Fernando Garcia, CEO of The Channel Store.

The joint venture between LaLiga and Banijay Iberia, closes a deal with Little Spain to develop a fiction series set in the LaLiga universe.

LaLiga Studios, the joint venture between Banijay Iberia and LaLiga, has closed a deal with Little Spain, the production company founded by internationally renowned artist C Tangana, to develop a fiction series set in the LaLiga universe. This is a pioneering project as it is the first production with the IP of LaLiga and the official seal of approval from a competition of its size and scope.

“We are facing a unique opportunity to produce the first fiction series that can exploit at all levels the IP of LaLiga, its clubs, its talent, its stadiums, its fans, to achieve a degree of veracity rarely seen in football-related fiction,” explained Chalo Bonifacino Cooke, CEO of LaLiga Studios.

For its part, the Little Spain team has stated “the objective is to create a story set in the context of Spanish professional football and from the idiosyncrasies of the LaLiga teams, where football, culture and life converge. This project is the result of a creative collaboration with actor Josh Hutcherson, a friend and ally of Little Spain in Los Angeles. This is a milestone for Little Spain, as it allows us to tell a story located between two key points: Spain and the United States. In order to capture the essence of the football world and its lifestyle accessible to very few, the key elements will be emotion and our signature cinematic style.”

This project is also a new milestone in the strategic alliance between the company owned by LaLiga and Banijay Iberia, part of Banijay Entertainment, the content powerhouse with 130 production companies present in 21 territories, and Little Spain. Last March, both production companies created, together with LaLiga, the anthem 1voiceVSRACISM to fight against racism. This chant was played in all LaLiga EA SPORTS and LaLiga HYPERMOTION stadiums during the week of the World Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and had a great resonance, generating more than 193 million impressions and an average value of more than 9.7 million euros.

Little Spain, with a growing influence in the audiovisual and creative world, won three Gold Lions in June at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, one of the most important advertising awards in the world. There it triumphed with the music video of the anthem, that the artist C Tangana – founding partner of the production company – composed for the centenary of RC Celta, a LaLiga EA SPORTS team. A success that comes after his first leap into feature-length documentaries with Esta ambición desmedida, a piece nominated for the Goya awards in 2023 that narrates the gestation and making of the tour of C Tangana’s influential album El Madrileño.

In just one year of life, LaLiga Studios has produced for more than 100 operators, broadcasting in more than 190 countries around the world. It has also produced Límite 24H, the first programme on the closing of the summer transfer window, which announced the official last-minute signings thanks to exclusive access to LaLiga’s 7th floor and was broadcast on channels such as Movistar+, DAZN, ESPN, DirecTv and Sky TV.

Since its inception, LaLiga Studios has created content for LaLiga and its main sponsors and clubs. Also, in its desire to be a pioneer in the world of sports entertainment, LaLiga Studios recently closed a deal for the development of football related content with Hollywood production company MTP, formerly known as Mandalay Sports Media. This project is led by Mike Tollin, executive producer of the worldwide phenomenon The Last Dance, the miniseries about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls that became the most watched documentary in history on ESPN in the United States and a record-breaking hit on Netflix.

Banijay Iberia and LaLiga joined forces last year to launch LaLiga Studios, a company led by Chalo Bonifacino Cooke. The partnership with Little Spain reflects Banijay Entertainment’s commitment to grow the sports entertainment business through new partnerships, content investments and mergers and acquisitions following the recent launch of Banijay Sports.

Since its founding in 2023, LALIGA Studios, a joint venture between Banijay Iberia, part of media and entertainment powerhouse Banijay, and LALIGA, is dedicated to pioneering new standards in sports entertainment through the creation of global original content, brand content, digital media, live events, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of creativity and bringing entertainment to a worldwide audience.

The series also won the 2020 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series. MTP followed up its sports doc success two years later with 2022’s The Redeem Team (Netflix) which won the Sports Emmy for Outstanding Long Documentary.

Tollin’s storied Hollywood career includes scripted films, television hits, and documentaries such as the Oscar-nominated Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream. He was one of the original producers on the landmark 30 for 30 series for ESPN and in the last decade, has been trusted to tell the stories of sporting icons Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter, Allen Iverson and Shaun White. He has also worked on innovative projects alongside EA Sports, 2K Sports, and Jordan Brand.

“Over the last decade, soccer and sports at large, have become fully mainstream in the US and beyond. Sports fans around the country are embracing the same aspects of the game that has made it the most-played sport in the world. Our partnership with LALIGA Studios will amplify this trend and bring the sport to a new demographic through accessible human storytelling.” said Jonathan Vogler, President of MTP’s Unscripted division.

The details of the slate have not yet been announced but the first of its projects is already in the works led by MTP and Emmy winning producer-director Diego Hurtado de Mendoza.

“I’m beyond excited about what we’ve been preparing. This is such a perfect match. MTP’s unmatched track record developing the most memorable projects in recent years and Spain’s LALIGA being the most dynamic soccer league globally are the perfect platform for developing the biggest, and most enjoyable new shows that will expand the categories of how sports can engage a global audience,” said Diego Hurtado de Mendoza.

Banijay Iberia (part of Banijay) and LALIGA joined forces last year to launch LALIGA Studios, led by Chalo Bonifacino Cooke. It’s partnership with Mike Tollin’s MTP echoes Banijay’s wider ambitions to grow across sportainment, documentary and digital, via new partnerships, content investments and M&A following the recent launch of Banijay Sports.

Tollin and MTP are repped by UTA and Jared Levine and Nick Gladden of Yorn Levine.

Diego Hurtado de Mendoza is repped by Zero Gravity Management and Chris Perez and Jonathan Fisher of Donaldson Callif Perez.
