Last year, the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) and Endorphin Magine signed a ten-year contract for production and distribution rights for all matches owned by HNS, starting with the 2022/23 competition year.
Endorphin Magine has signed a contract with Indonesian house PT Global Media Visual (Mola TV) which has bought TV rights for the territories of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Italy from the 2022/23 season to 2025.
