Do you think we will ever see this model? The Premier League is probably the most watched league in the world. The new tv deal is worth about £5bn covering three seasons 2022/23 to 2024/25.
Say for example, a subscription of £120 a season to watch all EPL games that is very affordable and there will be a lot of demand for it not only in the UK but in other countries as well. So to get £10bn a year which is double the £5bn tv deal over 3 years at £120 a season is just over 83 million subscribers which is more than possible considering the EPL is watched worldwide. It is gaining more audiences in: USA, India, Middle Eastern Countries these three on their own could get you a minimum of 83 million subscribers not to mention other regions in the world so over 100 million subscribers is something which is easily achievable in the future. For arguments sake just say over 83 million subscribers £10bn a season that is £30bn over 3 seasons compared to the £5bn over 3 seasons current TV deal. When can you see something like this happening if it does?

I can see why PL chairman would be asking why are we letting Sky take a huge cut of our product when we can do it ourselves. It probably will happen at some point but I doubt it will benefit the football going public we will still be paying though the nose. Edited by Badger11 (06 Jun 2023 8.40am)

SJ always has a feel to me of 'maybe he has a point' before my brain fails to see past the fake tan, my own subjective criticism of his barnet, Palace memories and therefore the arrival at 'he's an idiot, saying and doing idiot things again'. I would not be well informed enough to even begin to suggest how this may work and whether or not it would be a success (more internationally than anything) however I do think the PL will monetise the competition anyway they can. Therefore if viable, they may give it a go. I don't like the fact Sky, BT Sports and now Amazon have a competitive stranglehold on all games. For fans this means paying for multiple subscriptions just to see games. I'd therefore be in favour of the proposed model. Always seemed like a bit of a tax on pubs to begin with but has now translated to the homes of football fans and it feels exploitative and unsustainable. I'd happily pay the £120 in the proposed scenario.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

It would work for me. I guess it would only work if it was a flexible model. e.g. not all markets have the spending power of us in the UK. So 120 might be reasonable here, but it wouldn't be in some markets. You'll also have some markets like the US, where for example 'soccer' wont be a primary sport so fans will also be paying for NHL, Basketball etc etc so wont pay top dollar for EPL. ITs currently about $50. The other way of cutting the cake is paying for a single team access. e.g. £120 to watch the lot, but £40 to just watch Palace games

The slice of cake gets smaller and smaller
