Facebook will broadcast La Liga matches in India for free.
By signing a deal with Spain's top soccer league, Facebook could be elbowing its way into the sports steaming services market, thereby potentially competing against traditional broadcasters (such as Fox's Star India’s network of over 60 television channels that brings sports, entertainment, and news to Indian viewers).
The social networking giant will broadcast 380 first division La Liga matches a year in India and some of the latter’s neighbouring countries such as Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.
