#Why does thmanyah invest in exclusive rights?

For us, exclusive rights are not simply about having the right to broadcast a match. They are the foundation for building a complete experience around Saudi football. They allow us to invest for the long term in coverage, production, studios, commentators, analysts, broadcast quality, and technology, as well as the programs, stories, and content that begin before the match and continue after it.

#Why does thmanyah take rights protection seriously?

Because this experience is built on a broader ecosystem of rights, production, technology, and partnerships, protecting our content is part of our responsibility to our audience, our partners, and everyone who contributes to delivering it.

1. Protecting production rights: Everything you watch on thmanyah is created through the work of production and technical teams, as well as costly rights and licenses. Reposting it without permission harms our work and reduces our ability to create unique Arabic content.
2. Complying with laws and agreements: Some content, especially sports content, is subject to exclusive broadcast agreements with partners and various rights holders. For this reason, thmanyah is required to protect it and prevent access through any unauthorized method.
3. Protecting the thmanyah experience: When content is published illegally outside the platform, it harms the subscription model that helps keep the service running. It also affects users who follow the rules and legally pay to access exclusive content.

After verifying the violation, we collect evidence and then submit urgent takedown requests for the pirated content to social media platforms and the relevant authorities. Blocking or restricting the account itself is a decision made by the platform in accordance with its own policies.

Filming with a mobile phone from inside the stadium is not part of thmanyah’s “official broadcast content”. For this reason, we do not consider it a violation of thmanyah’s policies, and it will not cause your «thmanyah App» account to be suspended.
However, responsibility for managing those rights belongs to the Saudi Pro League. The official reference is the live-streaming platform's terms and conditions. For example, Snapchat and Facebook prohibit posting content that violates intellectual property rights. Inside the stadium, the official reference is the ticket terms and conditions set by the match organizer.

Because rights allow us to invest for the long term in the complete Saudi football experience, from production, coverage, and broadcast quality to programs, stories, and content before and after the match. For us, exclusivity is a means to build and continuously improve this experience, not an end in itself.
