IMG Arena has tied down the rights to furnish US sports wagering administrators with live surges of select out-of-showcase National Hockey League (NHL) games.

The live streams will be accessible by means of operators’ advanced wagering stages in US states where sports betting is legal. 

IMG Arena has given live spilling of NHL games for sports wagering administrators in legitimized European markets for a few years.

Freddie Longe, EVP and MD of IMG Arena, stated: «This denotes a significant improvement in the US wagering rights scene and we anticipate driving further commitment for NHL fans.»

Steve McArdle, NHL EVP of Digital Media and Strategic Planning, stated: «We are amped up for the extension of our universal relationship with IMG Arena into the US.

«The NHL has adopted a dynamic strategy to sports wagering and this live-game gushing open door with IMG Arena gives another imaginative touchpoint to fan engagement.»

In December, IMG Arena gained content rights for the Scottish Professional Football League in a five-year bargain, which starts toward the beginning of next season.
