A gift this month for all Telenet TV customers
Because Telenet understands that a year without Belgian football has not been enjoyable, it will offer a selection of the remaining play-off matches to all Telenet TV customers via the Telenet TV box, at no extra cost. During matchdays seven, eight, nine and ten of the current Champions’ Play-offs, Telenet will broadcast two matches each round. In total, this amounts to eight top matches.

And from next season onwards, with Telenet you will truly have access to all the sport you could want to watch. From the English Premier League, F1, the Champions League, cyclo-cross, MXGP and basketball, and now also Belgian football, which makes us quite proud.”
