Canada

Despite most of its North American broadcast rights contracts covering both the United States and Canada, beIN Sports initially was not authorized to broadcast in Canada nor had it sub-licensed any of its programmings to Canadian broadcasters. The channel had a difficult time finding a Canadian broadcaster willing to partner up with it to launch its services in Canada. Due to the regulatory environment in Canada, the only way to launch beIN Sports in Canada is by launching a Canadian version of the channel via a partnership with a Canadian broadcaster. In October 2013, beIN Sports launched an online streaming service in Canada through their website www.beINsportsplay.ca. The live service was available at no charge for registered users until 1 February 2014; since then, users can access the streams for 19.99 CAD/month. On-demand coverage is not available through beIN Sports Play Canada.

On 18 December 2013, beIN Sports announced they had reached a deal with Ethnic Channels Group, a local ethnic broadcaster, to launch their services in Canada. The channel officially launched on 31 January 2014 via MTS and NEXTV.

Sports events broadcasting rights and related controversies

beIN Sports has acquired broadcasting rights for many major sports events, including the agreement with the International Olympic Committee on the exclusivity to broadcast Olympic Games between 2018 and 2024 for Middle East and North Africa and agreement on global rights for tennis events with the International Tennis Federation.

There were also several disputes and conflicts regarding rights owned by beIN Sports. French radio stations decided to decline deal with beIN on radio rights for the 2017 World Handball Championships as beIN Sports wanted them to pay administrative fees about five times higher than the real technical cost, constituting hidden radio rights which are prohibited by French law for this case. North Africa's television companies were unable to make deal with beIN Sports on 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in football. Four of the region's countries, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and Egypt, had their teams qualified for the tournament. Non-existent deal prevented broadcasting the teams' matches in their countries on free-to-air TV channels.

In 2014, beIN Sports had a conflict with English Premier League over the mutual agreement on broadcasting rights as beIN Sports was accused of piracy broadcasting and its rights were restricted.

In 2016, French free market watchdog rejected the rights distribution deal between beIN Sports and Canal+. According to the authority, the deal would leave 80 percent of the rights in the country in the hands of both organizations creating a thread of free market competition.
