Go has announced that with reference to reports published in certain sections of the media regarding the exclusivity of certain sports broadcasting rights, GO said that they would like to state that it is the only TV provider in the Maltese territory to have exclusive rights for the Barclays Premier League and the Italian Serie A as from the season 2010/11 onwards. Thus such content cannot be broadcast by any other provider in the territory as from the next football season, as part of the contractual obligations set by the international content providers of these sports rights.

The rights cover live TV coverage, as well as coverage on the internet and on mobile.

In addition, GO holds the exclusive rights to a host of other sports such as several football club channels, the English FA Cup and Community Shield, England International friendly matches and Qualifiers, Formula 1 racing, Wimbledon Championships, ATP Masters Series, Fed Cup, Davis Cup, Augusta Masters, US Open, PGA Open, British Open, Ryder Cup 2010, PGA European Tour, Tri Nations Rugby Cup, Guinness Premiership, Heineken Cup and EDF Energy Cup, amongst others.
