Brace yourselves for another season of electrifying Liga Malaysia! Astro is thrilled to announce the return of the highly anticipated season of Liga Malaysia 2024/25 with all 219 matches in High Definition (HD) kicking off with perlawanan Sumbangsih (Piala Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah) between JDT and Selangor FC on 10th May 2024.
This year marks a significant change for Astro customers, as all Astro customers will have full access to watch the new season of Malaysian Football League’s Liga Malaysia competitions LIVE in HD comprising perlawanan Sumbangsih (Piala Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah), Liga Super, Piala FA and Piala Malaysia on Arena Bola channels (CH803 and CH804), Astro Arena (CH801 and CH802), and stream on Astro GO. This exciting move aims to bring the league to more viewers and cultivate a wider, more passionate fan base.
Tai Kam Leong, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Astro said, “The enthusiasm for the last season for Liga Malaysia was truly inspiring and we believe that by including the matches as part of our offering to all Astro customers, we can significantly fuel the growth of local football and bring the excitement on the pitch directly into the living rooms, or any device of choice to fans across the nation.”
“Building on the success of last season, we will be enriching our customers viewing experience with expert analysis by pundits, pre-match press conferences, and live training sessions with exclusive player interviews and behind-the-scenes access to bring you closer to the heart of the game. As an Astro customer, we’ll bring the excitement of the games up a notch as you’ll be eligible for exclusive rewards, including the chance to witness live matches from the stands and meet your favourite footballers”, Tai added.
Dato’ Ab Ghani Hassan, President of the Malaysian Football League said, “I believe that partnering with Astro for the second year will be more fascinating as Astro upgrades broadcast production, football-related TV content, and the packages offered to local football followers.
“I am grateful to Astro for their efforts and commitment to develop the football industry through comprehensive live broadcasts of Malaysian League matches, not to mention live broadcasts through high definition (HD) displays in all matches as well as ultra-high definition (UHD) in selected matches for adding to the audience’s satisfaction,” he said.
