BT Sport has extended its rights deal for the UEFA Champions League and Europa League until 2021 in a deal reportedly worth £1.2bn.

The service has been broadcasting the elite club competitions since 2015 under the current £897m deal.

BT Sport has also revealed that clips, weekly highlights, and both finals will be made available to watch for free on social media.

BT Sport’s live YouTube stream of last season’s UEFA Champions League Final was also shortlisted for 2017’s Cutting Edge Sport Award.

The new deal gives BT Sport exclusivity across all live games and highlights for the first time - meaning there will be no weekly highlights shown on free-to-air broadcaster ITV.
