Five packages of 42-65 matches each are available. Four packages can be awarded to one bidder. A record 270 matches are available.
Some predictions from Francois Godard of Enders Analysis on the Premier League TV rights, in
The Sunday Times.
1. Sky will retain at least three of the five packages. It will be reluctant to cede one of its weekend slots, so could even try for four.
2. The greatest competition will be between TNT Sports and DAZN. TNT will try to hold on to its Saturday 12.30pm slot whilst DAZN will try and get some rights too but has a history of bidding sensibly.
3. Without the Premier League, TNT Sports would cease to be a premium service and would need to reduce its price.
4. In terms of other potential bidders, it is unlikely that Amazon will want to spend sufficiently to retain Premier League rights. YouTube is seen as a “long shot”.
