IMG has signed a four-year deal with Lega Pallavolo Serie A to market all Italian men’s volleyball media rights globally, excluding Italy. 

The agreement also covers Fastpath data and live streaming for the sports betting industry via IMG Arena. The seasons from 2020/21 through to 2023/24 are included, with competitions such as the prestigious SuperLega, the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa involved.

The SuperLega dates back over 75 years, and was also known as Serie A between 1946 and 1977, then as Serie A1 until 2014. It is held in high regard, and thought of as the most competitive volleyball league in the world.
