Isn't just a sports subscription service though , Viaplay Originals (at least 60 in 2022), acquired series and films and Kids content aswell.

MGM signed a production and development deal with them last year

So does this mean that Premier Sports has lost the rights to show the NHL?

A quick look over the next few weeks shows: NHL, Danish Speedway, United Rugby Championship, La Liga, Elite League Ice Hockey, NASCAR, Top 14 Rugby Union, Rugby League Championship, Swedish Speedway. And Premier League Football in Ireland.

Seems to be the usual amount of live coverage.

I think La Liga should know better than to chase such unknown streamers. (Eleven Sports, anyone?)

It's not a way to get their league watched in the UK, they need to go for a more mainstream broadcaster.

Certainly not me. I acknowledge that it’s expensive to subscribe to all the sports streamers if sport is your thing.

Additionally, live streaming on them isn’t that good at the moment either.
