It's a 3 year deal, maybe testing the waters ?

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

la liga brags its the most watched international football league in the UK. I'd love to see the figures for that as you can't watch la liga tv on virgin media. not sure if its on sky.

i would have thought serie A or bundesliga would be more popular in the UK considering they're on more subscribed channels??

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

The article is incorrect, the offer isn't available on Flex.
When the service was called 'Stream from Virgin Media' there were frequent offers, eg Sky Sports for £18.50pm for 12 months, BT Sport for £10. But that all stopped about a year ago when Flex came in. There are no longer any offer beyond the 10% discount. So Sky Sports HD is just under £35pm and TNT is £22.50.

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

Over the past week Premier Sports has pick up rights to:

*Eredivisie (Two games per week)
*Argentine Primeria Division
*Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.

All we need now is Premier Sports to move into Virgin Media's Family Package.

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

Does anyone watch these ?
I have no idea what the 1st and 3rd ones even are, and zero interest in the "Argentine Primeria Division".

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

Only when linked to a player in the transfer market. Then of course everyone's an expert ;)

1. is Premier League of Holland.
3. is Premier League of Brazil.

I like a way your team work in transfer market.

Pay millions for new players then give them away for nothing when they deal is up.

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

Not me,zero interest in those leagues

Similar concept to what VM/Premier Sports offered earlier in the year, when the knockout stages of European Rugby restarted.

NCAA Football starts this weekend and was previously on Sky Sports - DAZN now have the deal with ESPN for coverage.

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

I had to look that one up, never heard of NCAA Football (turns out its American Football).

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

Watching Everton game tonight,not that impressed with the pitch seems a bit patchy? Well done to the fans though for turning up in such mass numbers

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

It's college football which is big in the states and had a following on Sky Sports and previously BT Sports.

Reports say College football and the NFL are two of the most watched sports leagues in the United States.

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

We (mostly) don’t appreciate how popular College Football is in the States - my son spent his Second Year at University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC, which has 38,000 students (out of a total population of 144,000) - the College Football stadium can hold nearly 80,000, and it’s full most games.

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

I really don't get it at all,why are people interested in this at all? Surely it's amateurs players,lower level skill than our non league teams! But hey if people want to watch it then good luck to them.

Watching the draw for the League Cup on Sky last night I was puzzled as to why Crystal Palace weren't in the pot of teams playing in Europe? Can anyone explain it?

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

No it's a main route to NFL and the riches that offers :D

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

Looking at DAZN's schedule for this coming weekend it seems they are only showing games that ESPN broadcast in the US,
which is a shame as many big matchups through the season will be on other broadcasters networks,
for example the biggest game on Saturday is Texas at Ohio State which DAZN aren't showing.
Luckily I can use my good American friends tv account to view this and other big matchups throughout the coming season and I think £25 a month is way too much for what's on offer given the lack of much other content on the service.

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

It was mentioned - its because their group matches are not until October, so no potential clash.

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

On Sky Sports just before the draw was made the presenter said they weren't in that pot because the Conference European League Phase games don't start until October.

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

Ok missed that! Not surprising as complicated draw for me!

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

https://www.skysports.com/nfl/news/1...hree-year-deal
Great news for NFL fans.
2 regular season games at 6 pm and 2/3 games at 9 pm on Sky sports ,Thursday night and Monday night games, plus red zone, all playoff games and the Super bowl.
If you add the two games to be shown on Sunday by 5 every week, this all adds up to the best NFL TV coverage ever in this country.

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

Makes you wonder who will still subscribe to NFL Gamepass at it's current cost.

TNT sport UK severely devaluated with this change. Of course it's the paying public getting shafted with yet another Bill (yes I know about those who use other sources which becomes more valid when you get this news)

They seemingly want to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, they already made 3 offers.

Football is going further and further away from the working class game I grew up loving.:td:

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

Presumably Paramount+ will become more expensive.
Its just £7.99 a month atm (with ads) or £10.99 for "Premium".
You also get it free for a year on Sky Q, if you have Sky Movies.

shame sky sports didnt get the champions league coverage at all. would have meant we could ditch tnt sports and wouldnt need to subscribe to anyone else.

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

It looks like Netflix is considering entering the bidding process for premiership football rights. I wonder whether this will spur Amazon to go for one of the larger packages next time around?

https://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2025...league-rights/

[EXTRACT]

Netflix is weighing a move into Premier League rights after narrowly missing out on new Uefa football packages.

The streamer is understood to have bid for the global rights to the Uefa Super Cup – the annual match between the Champions League and Europa League winners – as well as Champions League rights in Germany for 2027-31. Industry sources told The Times that Netflix’s offers were competitive, but Uefa chose not to separate the Super Cup from its wider rights and Paramount+ ultimately outbid Netflix for the German Champions League package.

Netflix’s participation – coupled with Paramount+ winning the main UK Champions League rights from 2027 – is being viewed inside the industry as a signal that global SVOD players are now ready to compete seriously for premium football. That raises the prospect of fresh competition for Sky and TNT Sports when the next domestic Premier League packages are shaped, and for NBC when the league’s US deal – currently worth around £2 billion (€2.36 billion) over six years – expires in 2028.

Broadcast insiders quoted by The Times suggest Netflix could initially target a themed bundle of festive Premier League fixtures when rights are next offered, rather than jumping straight into a full-season package. Such a package was previously held for the UK market by Amazon. The current UK domestic contracts run to 2029, but the league has increasingly experimented with packaging specific kick-off slots and calendar windows.

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

Unless Paramount acquires WBD.

---------- Post added at 21:06 ---------- Previous post was at 20:57 ----------

Those days are sadly long gone.

It's probably cheaper to watch your team's home matches than subscribe to every service. Trouble is, getting a ticket is not easy unless you're lucky enough to be a season ticket holder!

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

Thinking of dumping the whole lot as getting too expensive and complicated

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

Then: £50 a year for a TV license and football on Saturday evening and occasional mid week cup games. Women complaining there's too much football on TV.

Now: £85 a month for full coverage every night of the week. Women complaining there's not enough coverage of the women's football.

:D

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

For non-sports fans, it’s great for them that most of the football is now consigned to sport subscriptions!

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

Celebrity quiz shows, Reality TV, and everything 'Ant & Dec' should be thrown onto subscription channels . . . please! :D

I know a few avid football fanatics that are now being turned off it all by the saturation . . too much of a good thing and all that . .

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

What makes me laugh is those who say look how many attend ... its "popular".

Well yes, because its cheap, take my local club as an example (Forest), they only open one stand, and its just £10/£12 for an adult ticket.

Try charging normal Premiership/Championship prices and then see how popular it is. ;)

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

At the prices I've seen quoted for the 'top established' Premier clubs, I can't understand how there's a 5 year waiting list . .

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

i do think the womens football push is starting to slow down. attendances are stagnating. i think it may have hit its limit in terms of viewership too

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

The standard of football isn't good to be honest so can't expect to attract big crowds.

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

It's still being pushed by coin eyed people hoping it's a big money spinner though.

Look at that 'international friendly' they just played . . . and the hype surrounding the score :rolleyes:
