“We are excited to have German Soccer Network join more than 400 diverse channels on LG Channels, one of the most-popular apps on LG TVs, further expanding the platform’s premium live sports offering,” said Matthew Durgin, VP of Content & Service at LG Electronics North America. “This partnership with Cineverse gives U.S. viewers an easy way to discover and stream live German soccer featuring some of the sport’s biggest clubs and players, directly from their LG devices.”
Cineverse has yet to confirm whether the German Soccer Network will become available to stream on other services and platforms.
