This is one of the big things we're all waiting to find out about, but the fact that Amazon has dipped its toes into Premier League and the fact that many of the PL teams are recognised globally, would seem a perfect fit for a global streamer.
If Amazon, Apple, Google etc decide to get involved in premium sports in a big way, they will blast away all existing pay tv companies, literally, as sports is one of the main linchpins of pay tv.
TBD - to be decided.

There’s actually a very good reason to believe Amazon couldn’t pull it off it’s that they didn’t make any meaningful bids for any of the packages last time round.

They had almost know "original" content of their own then, so it wouldn't have made much sense and why the single market?? Lots of markets on the globe.
