Every entry is researched from verifiable sources: official league rights pages (e.g. the Premier League's published territory-by-territory deals), federation announcements, Wikipedia's broadcast-contract tables, and reputable press reporting. Each competition card links its sources. Nothing is guessed — countries without a verifiable broadcaster are shown as "coverage coming", not filled in.
Sports TV rights change on contract cycles (typically 3–5 years), not daily — which makes a curated guide practical. The dataset is re-verified on a quarterly schedule, and major new rights announcements (which are always big news) are folded in as they happen. Every entry carries its rights cycle and verification date so you can judge freshness yourself.
