MILAN (Reuters) - The companies holding the broadcasting rights to Italy's top-flight Serie A soccer championship, including Comcast's unit SKY, have not paid the last instalment of the 2019/2020 season, which has been halted due to the coronavirus outbreak, three sources familiar with the matter said.

Serie A was suspended on March 9 and the league and the Italian football federation want the season to be completed, playing matches without spectators.

Italy's top pay-TV operator SKY, sport digital firm DAZN and global sports agency IMG did not pay the 2019/2020 final instalment, totalling roughly 220 million euros , the three sources said. The installment is part of a 1.3 billion euro annual fee which right holders pour into Serie A's club coffers to screen matches under a three-year agreement expiring next season.
