[EXTRACT]
Having already secured the rights to Major League Soccer in the United States, Apple is reportedly turning its attention to English football.
According to Bloomberg, the company is considering bidding for both Premier League and English Football League rights. Neither Apple or the Premier League have commented on the report.
Premier League matches are currently broadcast in the UK by Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime.
It’s thought that rather than securing all of the matches, as it has with MLS, Apple is more likely to bid on one or more of the packages available to broadcasters.
If it does set its sights on the Premier League, Apple is likely to face competition from sports streamer DAZN which is also keen to acquire games in order to break into the crowded UK sports broadcasting market.
