European soccer’s governing body has awarded U.S. broadcasting rights for its club competition to Relevent Sports Group, a company owned by billionaire developer and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.
New York-based Relevent won the U.S. rights for the prized UEFA Champions League after the firm said it could guarantee at least $250 million for the contract from 2024 to 2027, according to a person familiar with the matter.
