On what do you base that ?

Yeah, I'm not sure why it would change anything about the 3pm kick-offs, just another subscription and different logo on the screen and perhaps a few technical issues. https://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2023...est-blackouts/

I guess it’s the admission (when you read between the lines) from DAZN that they can’t compete with Sky, BT or Amazon on the current basis for the current rights.

The “partnership” model they suggest could (if you skew a little) be interpreted as them begging for the league to make more rights available and all that’s really left is the 3pm games. At £20+ a month it wouldn’t be cheap, for on most weeks the sixth-tenth choice games.

I wish the Premier League would sell access to all the games on their own service like NFL Gamepass.

I think they've worked out that they will get more money the way that they do it. Plus, the blame for high subscription costs tends to land with the broadcasters and not with the Premier League.

it the multi broacaster deal that puts price up but they dont want to have one broadcaster to have all the games

Do you honestly believe that if $ky had all the packages it would be cheaper? No chance.

Even if the PL decided to eat all the costs of creating and retailing a D2C proposition without any partners handling the marketing or distribution of the product, do you think a ‘GamePass’ style product would be a dramatically different experience, especially in the home market and likely on the proviso of providing tv revenue to teams comparative with what they have been getting for the last few years? Let’s be honest, a D2C platform in the U.K. for the PL would have to be pretty damn expensive…

I do think some people out there see prices of some of these D2C products and don’t entirely appreciate these products are generally so cheap because it’s not the home market in play especially when you look at domestic costs for rights like the NFL…

Not saying a D2C proposition is impossible but I think folk would need to keep expectations in check about how cost friendly something like that would actually end up being! And probably why retailing the tv rights at a premium to content hungry providers remains the best model for the immediate future!

Also I think the NFL Game Pass is now just for non-US customers.

It has been like that for a while. I had NFL Game Pass about 4-5 years ago and it wasn't available in US then.

UK versions has the Sky Sports games blocked out - but you can see them if they think you are somewhere else.

Others seem to think it’s achievable.

At £9.99 a month to make £5 billion in 3 years they’d need 13.8 million individual subscriptions in the UK and Ireland. Leaving out VAT, other costs, etc. I’ll be very generous and concede that those costs could be met by advertising for easy counting.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 
I’d imagine they could just use the £9.99 as an entry product with other upsells available for instance 4K , HDR etc , increased number of concurrent streams.

BT Sport will change its name following last year's £650m merger with Eurosport
Broadcasters will announce the creation of several new channels on Tuesday
It is unclear at present how much fans will be asked to pay for the new channels
