In November 2019, beIN Sports stated that it was "actively reconsidering its entire commercial relationship with Serie A" over the Supercoppa being hosted by Saudi Arabia, accusing the league of "making a quick buck from the very entity that has been stealing its rights for two years." beIN's contract with Serie A is valued at around US$500 million—accounting for just over half of the league's international media rights revenue. When the Serie A resumed its 2019-20 season in June 2020 after a suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic, beIN suspended its broadcast of the league on all of its networks worldwide, stating that "it would not be appropriate to comment further, other than to say our legal and public position has been consistent and well-documented for three years." The suspension ended on 29 June, after it reached an agreement with the league and its international rightsholder IMG to be provided with financial compensation for the impact of piracy on its media rights.
