Disney+ will carry FC Midtjylland’s home games in UEFA Europa League qualifying, continuing the partnership between the club and the streaming service. The first home fixture is set for Thursday, 30 July, when Beşiktaş JK visits MCH Arena.
FC Midtjylland’s Journey in European Competitions
FC Midtjylland enters European qualifying for the 13th straight season. The tie against Beşiktaş begins with the first leg in Istanbul before the return match in Herning a week later. This marks a significant milestone for the club as they strive to establish themselves on the European stage.
The club views the agreement with Disney+ as a way to strengthen its profile, enhance the matchday experience for supporters, and reach new audiences. In Denmark, all UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League matches from the league phase onward are available on Disney+. This accessibility allows fans to engage more deeply with the club’s journey in European football.
The qualifying home matches will be included for all Disney+ subscribers in Denmark as part of their existing plans. This initiative not only boosts viewership but also creates a sense of community among fans who can enjoy the matches from the comfort of their homes. Further details on ticket sales and television coverage for the away leg will be announced by the club, keeping supporters well-informed.

- Beşiktaş JK vs. FC Midtjylland: Thursday, 23 July, 20:00 (21:00 local time) in Istanbul
