Infront Strengthens Diamond League Global Broadcast Network Through Spate of New Agreements

Infront has further strengthened the 2026 Diamond League's international broadcast distribution ahead of the European leg of the calendar, securing a series of new agreements across key global markets.

As the exclusive media rights partner of the Diamond League, Infront has added new broadcasters in Europe and Asia while continuing long-standing partnerships with major free-to-air and premium broadcasters across athletics' strongest markets.

New additions for the 2026 season include TV2 Denmark, SpoTV across Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore and Macau, as well as new agreements in Bulgaria, Mongolia, Albania, Kosovo and Belarus.

These additions build on an established international distribution network that already includes leading free-to-air broadcasters such as BBC in the United Kingdom, CBC in Canada, CCTV in China, Globo in Brazil, L' quipe in France, NRK in Norway and SVT in Sweden.

These new agreements strengthen our reach across broad markets as athletics looks to widen its exposure globally.

Infront has again delivered a strong international broadcast network that combines consistency in our core athletics markets with targeted expansion into new territories. That balance is important for athletes, fans, our partners and the continued development of the series globally.
