The outcome of sports rights has yet to be determined and although it is early days, I can see streamed sports services being cheaper in the long run with the global players involved. However, there are many things that could happen to mitigate against this and so no predictions from me yet on how the pricing will work out. One thing that does appear to be likely is that each sport will have a separate subscription. So if you like to watch different sports - horse racing, motor racing, golf, darts, boxing and football, this could be expensive if subscribing to multiple services. However, against that, I can see carriage deals being negotiated with Sky, Virgin Media and BT which would provide a cheaper means of viewing across multiple streaming services.

Just what I have been saying all along!
Streaming will be expensive for sports fans.
