# LaLiga+

LaLiga+ is an internet-broadcasting platform which, generally speaking, offers live Spanish sports competitions through multiple devices. It was created by the Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional in 2019.

## Development

Through an OTT service, which is standard for streaming film channels and series, LaLiga has created an internet-based television and video platform that offers all kinds of Spanish sports competitions live, in addition to several international competitions. It offers wide coverage of sports other than football, both live and on demand, and allows users to personalise content for different devices such as tablets, mobile phones, computers and smart TVs.
Through this platform, LaLiga contributes to the audiovisual development of sports other than football, following its commitment, established in 2015 within the framework of the LaLigaSports project, as a means for supporting other Spanish sports and stimulating the sports industry in general. Through the channel, Spanish sports federations are able to establish their own platform through which they can reach out to their fans and ascertain their preferences and consumption habits regarding these sports, and in doing so, allows them to design their own marketing and sponsorship strategies. The data collected as a result of these interactions facilitates a much more personalised recommendation of content for users.
LaLigaSportsTV provides a boost for both non-majority sports and their athletes, who are much more motivated when their tournaments and competitions can be followed by fans on audiovisual platforms.
Through the channel, Spanish sport have an innovative technological and audiovisual infrastructure, making it the first major European league to develop its own bespoke OTT service. The OTT platform can be accessed directly through smart TVs such as Samsung, LG, and Android TV, as well as allowing free and direct access from Orange TV. The digital ecosystem enables any user to access other LaLiga digital products.
The platform, which began broadcasting in March 2019, is an innovative initiative targeted at growing and developing internet channels that could occupy 50% of the market share by 2026 and which has seen its implementation boosted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
