Hajduk TV – First TV channel of a Croatian football club now on MAXtv
Hrvatski Telekom and Hajduk Split football club have launched a pioneering project in Croatia, HDTV (Hajduk Digital TV), a dedicated channel on the MAXtv platform. The new channel offers football fans, particularly Hajduk supporters, exclusive and attractive football content that is new to the HDTV app. This collaboration makes HNK Hajduk the first European football club to broadcast official first-league matches live on its TV channel.
The HDTV channel, now available on MAXtv (channel 411), is primarily dedicated to Hajduk. In addition to MAXSport, it will broadcast all Hajduk matches, including SuperSport HNL first-league matches, domestic cup matches, and European ones. Depending on technical capabilities, the channel will also broadcast matches from Hajduk's junior and women's teams. Plans are underway to expand further and enrich the channel's content with potential coverage of other sports. Besides Hajduk-related content, the channel will support Dalmatian sports by broadcasting local clubs' select basketball, futsal, and handball matches.
HDTV's commentary duo, Igor Ćurković and Tino Vela, will give analysis for all matches.
"MAXtv aims to deliver top-tier sports coverage to its users. Croatian football, which has become more exciting than ever, is a key part of that. This joint project between Hrvatski Telekom and Hajduk introduces a modern media-sports platform and marks a significant step forward for Croatian club football. It will delight not just Hajduk fans but all football and entertainment enthusiasts," said Krešimir Madunović, a Member of the Management Board and Chief Operating Officer Residential at Hrvatski Telekom. "With HDTV, the first club channel of its kind, we're innovatively connecting cutting-edge technology with passionate fandom. Other clubs have already shown interest in creating their channels on MAXtv."
The HDTV channel aims to promote Croatian football further and is available to MAXtv users for just €2 per month.
"Hajduk has always been a trendsetter. We were the first to launch our OTT platform, and now we are the first club with a TV channel. Hrvatski Telekom has recognized the quality of HDTV's work and enriched our partnership with this project. From now on, our many fans and supporters will be able to watch all Hajduk matches with our commentators while enjoying a variety of exciting content covering club activities. Important to note, Hajduk will also benefit financially from this collaboration, and we are confident that our loyal fans will see this as another positive step towards future successes," added Marinka Akrap, Member of the Management Board of Hajduk.
The launch of HDTV on the MAXtv platform marks a new phase in its development, offering live broadcasts of all Hajduk matches on the HDTV channel. Existing HDTV app users will still have access to match replays and select pre-season games within the app.
For existing and new MAXtv users, the HDTV package is available at all Hrvatski Telekom sales outlets, via the customer service hotline (0800 9000), through the Hrvatski Telekom website, and via the Moj Telekom app.
Since the introduction of MAXtv, Hrvatski Telekom has established itself as the operator offering the best content, particularly in sports. HT has provided exclusive, high-quality sports programming for years, including all matches from the Croatian football league available on MAXSport channels. With the addition of the HDTV channel, HT further enriches its sports content and elevates the football viewing experience.
