You’re right that isn’t going to change overnight. There is no basis upon which to describe this as “unlikely to stay like that for many years”. Th vast, vast majority of subscribers and viewers will be through the linear service and a small minority from the existing DAZN streaming service. Indeed, DAZN as exists now will may as well cease operating in the UK - the £8 a month service will no longer be viable. BT Sports £25 a month app will be the principal vehicle for streaming content.
Surely you aren’t suggesting that DAZN would still charge £8 a month if they had the Premier League on it? Of course the price would go up. I don’t buy your idea that somehow streamed football provided by different carriers from Sky and BT can’t be made to pay.

As for what happens once the contractual commitments have been met, that’s another question. If the Premier League football is only being streamed in the future, football fans will follow. After all, where else would they get their fix?
