Re: BT/TNT Sport on Discovery+

Looks like there could be a three-way split for c250 Premier League rights. Maybe DAZN 50 games, TNT 50 games, Sky 150 games?
  • DAZN has confirmed it will be involved in the bidding process.
  • Premier League is hoping for £4bn pa for all rights, international and dometic. This is up from £3.47bn a year. However, £3.47bn has been the price for six seasons at a time of very high inflation.
  • New four-year deal domestic broadcast tender document being sent out this month. (Previous deals were for three years)
  • Games on offer will rise from 200 to 250-270.
  • There will be fewer packages of games - likely five packages with 50-54 games per package so no light package like the current one Amazon has.
  • Sunday evening games won't be included.
  • More games will come from:
    - Monday and Friday nights
    - Saturday lunchtimes and tea-times
    - Three slots across Sundays
    - Various midweek matches
