Scotland Nations League games to be shown on YouTube

Scotland’s concluding Nations League matches against Croatia and Poland will again to be broadcast on YouTube, rather than on television.

Scandinavian broadcaster Viaplay owns the rights to show the games but announced in June 2023 it is scaling back its operations in the UK.

The company will still produce coverage of the matches, but they will be shown on the Scottish FA’s YouTube channel dedicated to the national side.

It follows the same arrangement as the matches in October with the loss to Croatia and draw with Portugal attracting more than 1.5m views combined on YouTube.

Steve Clarke’s side host Croatia at Hampden on Friday before finishing their campaign away to Poland on Monday (both 19:45 GMT).

As well as the Scotland men’s matches, Viaplay held the rights to show the Scottish League Cup and the United Rugby Championship when it announced it would end all coverage of UK sports.

The media group then sold its UK sporting division back to Premier Sports earlier this year.

The deal included its share of the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup, but did not include the rights to Uefa’s international competitions.

A deal was struck between Viaplay and ITV to show September’s matches against Poland and Portugal on the broadcaster’s ITVX platform, with BBC Scotland also in discussions to broadcast those matches.

However, Viaplay elected not to subcontract the rights for the rest of the campaign.
