Thousands of hours of great football matches and documentaries will now be available free of charge to Hisense and Toshiba Smart TV owners all over the globe.”
Hisense viewers accessing the UEFA.tv app can enjoy a wide range of on-demand video content including match re-runs, highlights, magazine show programming, player features and more from across UEFA’s competitions. They can also access the very best content from UEFA’s historic video archive in the form of classic clashes, legendary players and compelling football storytelling.
Throughout June and July, UEFA.tv will be celebrating some of the greatest UEFA EURO moments with classic match re-runs, ‘On This Day’ features, historic EURO goals, curated playlists and more.
