New Streaming Service for Soccer Fans

On September 2, a new service called 'ABEMA de スカパー! サッカー' launched, allowing soccer enthusiasts in Japan to access SkyPerfect's soccer content through ABEMA. This innovative move by スカパーＪＳＡＴ株式会社, based in Minato, Tokyo, aims to reach a wider audience by providing live matches from popular tournaments like the J.League Yamazaki Biscuits Cup.

This service stands out as anyone, regardless of whether they subscribe to SkyPerfect, can enjoy premium soccer content by registering for 'ABEMA de スカパー! サッカー'. It signifies a shift in how sports broadcasting adapts to modern consumption habits, providing fans with more flexibility in how they can engage with their favorite events.

Unmatched Access to Soccer Content

With a monthly fee of ¥2,350 (tax included), users can indulge in exciting soccer matches and related domestic programming. It's essential to note that some programs may vary from SkyPerfect's offerings, and notably, matches like the Emperor's Cup won’t be available on this platform. Furthermore, broadcast schedules and content may change without prior notice.

For those interested, the content lineup is thorough and includes not only live match streaming but also coverage of domestic tournaments, all available on a user-friendly platform designed for today's viewers.

The Power of SkyPerfect

Established as a leading paid multi-channel broadcasting service in Japan, スカパー! caters to a diverse audience with specialized channels spanning across sports, movies, anime, music, and variety shows. What attracts many sports fans is the ability to watch live broadcasts of both domestic and international events like soccer, baseball, and golf.

Subscribers can make flexible channel choices each month and even enjoy a free period in their joining month. Additionally, for those with busy lifestyles, SkyPerfect allows recording of programs, making it easier to catch up on missed games at a convenient time. The recent integration of streaming services through smartphones and tablets enhances the viewing experience, keeping pace with technological advancements.

Looking Forward

As スカパー! anticipates its 30th anniversary in October 2026, it remains committed to supporting the deep passions of its users, offering unique experiences that extend beyond just watching. The goal is to continually enrich the user experience, creating a community where fans can truly engage with their beloved sports.
