In July 2022, FC Barcelona and global investment firm Sixth Street announced an expansion of their partnership, with Sixth Street acquiring an additional 15% of the club’s LaLiga TV rights. This transaction builds on the previously agreed 10%, bringing Sixth Street’s total share to 25% of FC Barcelona’s TV rights over the next 25 years.
FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta emphasized that this agreement is part of the club’s strategy to strengthen its financial and competitive position. Alan Waxman, co-founder and CEO of Sixth Street, expressed his satisfaction in deepening the partnership with one of the world’s most prestigious sports organizations.
This deal was approved by the club’s members during the Extraordinary General Assembly held in June 2022, where the proposal to sell a minority stake in audiovisual rights was endorsed as a measure to improve the club’s financial stability.
Through this partnership, FC Barcelona aims to secure its economic stability and remain competitive in European football, while Sixth Street solidifies its presence in the sports and media sectors.
