Less so “won”, that kind of implies a competitive process! The LOI hasn’t had a rights holder for this side of the package for a few years since the demise of eir Sport (though I’m a bit surprised Premier have never moved on it given the LOI plays through the summer) and they’ve been broadcasting on an in-house service. What it seems is VMTV will be showing just this one match and if it works out for them ratings wise they might come back for more.
Also, it’s not their “first ever” match - they did air a few fixtures as TV3 during the period they had the highlights rights back in the early 2000s.
