I know beIN Sport is not a 100% commercial operation but I don't think that they will enter the UK as it is too crowded a market. As well as BT and Sky firing on all cylinders, Discovery now has raised its stake in Eurosport from 20% to 51% and promises investment in rights too. I think beIN could find some far better territories than the UK.

The plan for bEIN Sports was to secure the rights for North Africa and the Middle East which they have done, The next step is Europe (they already operate in France).
We could see 3 Broadcasters in the next PL bidding rights
