In May 2018, Eleven Sports announced the purchase of the rights of the UEFA Champions League and LaLiga Santander for the Portuguese market.[1] On the same month, Eleven announced a distribution partner with Portuguese telco Nowo.[2]

In June 2018 it was announced the purchase of the rights to three French football league competitions: Ligue 1, Coupe de la Ligue and Trophée des Champions. On June 19, 2018, Eleven announced that it had purchased the rights to broadcast the Scottish Premiership, Belgian Pro League (starting in 2018-19 season) and Bundesliga (starting only on the 2019-20 season)[3][4]

At an interview with local newspaper Expresso, Danny Menken (Eleven's Group Managing Director) referred that Eleven Sports will comprise as a premium package of two 24/7 HD channels (with 4 pop-up channels for overflow coverage) costing less than €10 per month (with discounts for season pass subscribers). The package will be launched on August 15, 2018, the day of the 2018 UEFA Super Cup.[5] On June 29, 2018 it was officially announced that Eleven Sports will have two offerings: a linear offering with two 24/7 channels in HD (with 4 pop-up channels for overflow coverage) and an OTT streaming offer. Both options will cost €9.99.[6]

On December 3, 2019, Eleven Sports announced it would trial an entry into the PPV market in Portugal with the Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Anthony Joshua II fight. This was the first time a broadcaster enganged in PPV broadcasts after TVCabo (currently NOS) broadcast a select amount of movies between 2005 and 2010 under the "VOD" brand. Current (at the time) Eleven Sports subscribers had access to the event with no extra charge.[7]
