Audiences can also choose to purchase individual games and packages of the FA Cup.
It is said that Chinese fans of the Premier League account for one sixth of the league’s 1.2 billion fans around the world, making China one of the largest overseas markets of the EPL.
PP Sports will also have more communications and exchanges with the signal producer of Premier League in the future.
PP Sports now have media rights to most of the top football properties, such as the Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Serie A, AFC Champions League, UEFA Champions League and the Chinese Super League.
They are looking to offer more diversified services and products to users in addition to match broadcasts.
