- 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:
- Friday nights
- Saturday lunchtimes
- Saturday tea-times games
- Three slots across Sundays
- More Monday games
- Various midweek matches peppered across the season.

I'll believe the DAZN bid when I see it. Even their actual statement doesn't commit to an actual bid - one could reasonably interpret that as being in discussions to understand the bidding process more.

At least we now know what I've always expected the bargain basement Amazon offer was only viable because it was so cheap. It's interesting that, despite being one of the largest companies on the world, it doesn't sound like there's any appetite to jump in for 50 games at market value.
