PL Streaming Service

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/feb/08/premier-league-netflix-tv-sports-rights

Just saw this article...no idea if it's been discussed.

From a business perspective, this makes sense to the PL & FA however only if they offer all PL matches at a reduced rate than current subscription providers on TV otherwise it totally defeats the purpose of something like this.

Perfect for LFC fans in Surrey who don’t go to games.

When DAZN had the rights to the Prem games over here, they were charging €9.99 a month, but that included other sports like NBA, MLB, UFC etc.
Now it's annoying, as Sky have the PL back, but the cup games and CL are still on DAZN.

And since DAZN lost the PL games they put the price up to €12.99

guys....

are you nuts.

you REALLY think the premier league would settle for 6.99 per month each?

If you were charged £5 PER MATCH you'd be very lucky IMO.

Why would the prem decide the 6.99 is enough for a full month when you can charge the same per match and make even more.

Calm down laaa. it was an estimate based on other subscription models that are currently operating so don't get your knickers in a twist. They're not consulting us fans on JA606 about how much they should price this at.

To get a high subscription base though, they probably will price it at a rate that will appeal to the mass market and not just set it at £60 a month just because Sky charge that.

The price for netflix is set based on them having a largish audience and lots and lots of content that comes at a reaosnbale price

What you are arguing is a 10billion cost of content and having to have 10x netflix subscribers to pay for it.

Yes it is. And for all the millions of other fans all over the country who can’t get tickets for Anfield. Meanwhile Everton can keep selling half season tickets

That’s why I cancelled cable and subscribed to an iptv provider for $13 a month.

Might not last forever, but it’s been a couple of years of 1000s of channels, no hassle hdtv.

Who has said the PL wont generate more profit through their own streaming service? Are you just making up stuff?

Absolutely. Of course the PL want to maximise their profits but that isn’t necessarily by just hiking up the prices. Take up of premium TV channels is by no means ubiquitous but internet pretty much is. A streaming service instantly becomes available to practically every household in the country but subscribers will only pay what they consider an acceptable price. There is a balance between pricing and levels of subscription.
