Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

If they do want to stream every EFL game, they’d be looking at 30+ matches on any Saturday, with each needing production/broadcast teams and commentators. Would spreading themselves so thinly on the ground be viable?

As it currently stands, EFL have iFollow but that uses local radio feeds for commentary - usually BBC. Would DAZN want to continue with this, or have their own, I wonder.

Yes, we wonder, but if they pull this off, it’s a plus for football fans, is it not?

Is it? Another subscription driving up costs in a cost of living crisis?

These billions that multinational conglomerates aren’t donations. They are investments. Future revenues to be extracted from the end users.

Everyone has a choice, a subscription isn’t compulsory. At least people will get to see their games.

It costs rather more buying a ticket and turning up for the match.

Of course that wasn’t your original question, and neither is it the basis upon which DAZN are bidding for the rights.

Nobody, anywhere, would object to additional genuine choice being introduced into the marketplace. Or games in addition to those already available being made available in separate packages.

Being lower cost than attending games is a red herring. The cost of attending the US Masters over 4 days would be thousands of pounds. That doesn’t make Sky Sports worth thousands of pounds next weekend.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

A quick trawl of iFollow suggests EFL fans who want to watch their teams currently pay £10 a game. That doesn’t include Saturday 3pm games, which are currently blocked.

So a 46-game season of league football would set you back £460 if the block was lifted, which is more than many teams charge for a proper season ticket.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

US pay $13 per match or $33 for the whole month. I would expect a season ticket could be offered too.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

If it costs that much for our second tier rights in a secondary market that doesn’t bode well for the cost here.

That’s a shame for DAZN it almost sounded like they were going to go for semi-meaningful rights.

Maybe the EFL broad was thinking about what happen with the ITV Digital deal back in 2002.

But DAZN has got deal with EFL outside the UK.

It may not be another subscription, but if EFL rights costs rise from £119m per season to an anticipated £200m per season, then expect to be tapped up for that increase.
