On Facebook.

Have to wait and see if they go for the pay model or depend on advertising only.

Rights of major football properties are over after the last season, so this might be one of many to be acquired by them to build up a decent portfolio.

Uefa Champions League & Uefa Europa League
Italian Serie A
French Ligue 1
Uefa Nations League & Uefa Euro 2020

After 2018/19 season is over -

English Premier League whose tender is already over. Negotiations are on. Facebook has already acquired the rights for it in Thailand etc.

This is bad, really sad news. Hope Sony wins Champions League and world cup football rights.
Facebook is the personification of evil.
