Eurosport is a French television sports network and a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, a division of Warner Bros. Discovery and managed by its EMEA regional hub. Eurosport owns a wide range of rights across many sports, but generally does not bid for premium-priced rights such as those to major football leagues. However, in 2015, it was awarded rights to broadcast the Olympic Games from 2018 for most of Europe and for 2022 for the UK and France in a deal worth €1.3 billion. It transmits much of the same footage across multiple markets, and uses off-screen commentators rather than on-screen presenters, so that the same visual feed may be broadcast in multiple languages, while minimizing production costs.
