Does it mean Optus Sport’s previous deal to show the UEFA Nations League and Euro qualifiers have expired, and Stan chose not to renew it?

It lapsed at the end of the 2024-25 season and beIN won the rights to broadcast in the MENA, SEA and Australia-New Zealand regions. BeIN previously aired Copa America and Euro 2016 so I expect the rights for these tournaments to be on beIN Sports in this market
Optus used to air all the above before it shut down at the start of the 2025-26 League season
