Tele2 is renewing and upgrading its TV and Streaming services in a new partnership with NENT
Tele2 and NENT have entered a strategic distribution partnership which will provide Tele2's pay-TV customers access to a wide selection of Viaplay channels and streaming services as part of their pay-TV subscription. Later this year, the partnership will be expanded and Viaplay will be directly available through Tele2 Play, which gives Tele2's customers access to Viaplay's entire range of movies and series, including over 150 exclusive Viaplay Originals. Tele2's Premium customers will also get access to Viaplay Total, which includes Premier League, NHL hockey and Formula 1 racing.
Tele2 and NENT have entered a distribution partnership which means that all pay-TV packages and Tele2’s streaming offering will be expanded with more content from Viaplay. Tele2's pay-TV customers will have access to even more channels from Viaplay depending on their subscription on their tv, tablet or mobile phone. In the next stage, films, series and sports from Viaplay will be added to Tele2's streaming platform Tele2 Play and complement both Tele2’s own content but also streaming packages from other content providers which is already included.
- We are happy to join forces with one of the strongest content provider on the Swedish market. This partnership benefits both parties and we can offer our customers even more premium content in one place without them having to obtain more services or subscriptions. Our new entertainment offering is based on our customer’s demand for simplicity and mobility and I am confident that they will enjoy the ability to access both linear and on-demand content from Viaplay in a more simple and accessible way, says Kjell Johnsen, President and CEO of Tele2
- Tele2 is a long-standing key partner and we are very pleased to announce this innovative partnership. We want Viaplay to be as broadly available as possible, and our agreement makes it even easier for Tele2’s customers to enjoy our service. The timing is ideal – this year, we will premiere more than 70 Viaplay Originals and the hottest Hollywood blockbusters, and become the new home for both the top league in women’s football, Damallsvenskan, and the men’s national team football. We will continue to build Viaplay Vinter and of course continue with Premier League, Formula 1, NHL and much more. We look forward to working closely with Tele2 to bring Viaplay’s premium offering to viewers across Sweden., President and CEO of Nordic Entertainment Group
