(Mod note: This is going to be a work in progress, I figure we needed an updated thread. I've copied over stuff, and tried to stay ahead of things, but I will make mistakes, please let me know where they are) Some notes: the Brasilero is off Paramount, Fanatiz has signed them, but it will be stadium sound only, as the Brasilero does not have a production company to do a world feed, Ligue 1, Serie A and EFL are expiring. (the new EFL deal will be a LOT stronger with a lot more games) Peacock/NBC English Premier League ESPN/ESPN+ Men's Leagues: Spanish LaLiga (expiring) Bundesliga (1 and 2) (Long Term), , Belgian League English League Championship (and some lower division games) (EXPIRING), Dutch Eredivise, Indian Super League, , Danish Super Liga, NCAA Soccer, A-League Women's Leagues: NCAA Women's Soccer, NWSL (Split) Cups: English League Cup, Scottish League Cup, Copa Del Rey (Spain), FA Cup, German Cup, Coppa Italia, Belgian Cup TNT/Warner US NT Fox MLS CONCACAF Champions League USA NT (Games in US and Mexico) (most) Liga MX (Mexico) Italian Serie B Women's Serie A International: Euro Nations League and Euro 2024 BeIN Sports Ligue 1 (France) (EXPIRING) Turkish Super League Copa Libertadores Copa Sudamerica African Cup of Nations (qualifiers and main tournament) CAF Champions League CAF Confederations Cup Ligue-2 (France) GOL TV: Liga NOS (Portugal) Ecuador Uruguay Dutch Cup Peru (at least some teams) TUDN Mexico MNT Home Games CBS Sports/Paramount + Italian Serie A (EXPIRING) Argentina Primera Division (Through 2024) NWSL Scottish Premier League UEFA Champions League UEFA Europa League UEFA Europa Conference League Asian Champions League CONCACAF Nations League (men/women) Asian World Cup Qualifying OneFootball (Free? service) Danish Superliga Icelandic Top Football Professional Football League of Kazakhstan Latvian Virsliga Northern Ireland Premiership Norwegian Eliteserien Slovak Fortuna Liga Swiss Super League Own Service: A-League (YouTube) Russian Premier League J-League (YouTube, no english commentary, natural stadium atmosphere) ATAFootball Women's Leagues: Serie A Feminine (Italy) Primera Femenina (Spain) Frauen Bundesliga (Germany) D1 Féminine (France) Women's Super League (England) Scripps NWSL (partial) Apple + MLS Amazon Prime NWSL (Partial) Fanatiz Brasilero (Stadium Sound)
So Coppa Italia is going to ESPN Plus does that mean they will get Serie A as well once current contract expires?
I'm not going to bet on it. Paramount+ seems to be betting big on soccer, and having Pulisic on Milan probably is a boost to them. I would expect ESPN+ to renew the EFL contract, especially with Wrexham getting more coverage (I'm pretty sure the goal is to get Wrexham to the Championship, where half the games are presented for TV/Streaming)
NSR related, but very interesting to see today's NBA news (ESPN and Amazon Prime are on the verge of signing a decade+ deal with the NBA, and it will be peacock/nbc vs TNT for the third (and likely final) package. Will have knock on effects that probably will be part of the negotiations for expiring rights.
Got an e-mail from Fanatiz, they have a deal for the Brazilian league minus two teams, Bragantino and Corinthians. Stadium sound only.
Australian A League just showed up on ESPN + this week! They list tomorrow's final regular season match against CC Mariners & Adelaide, but they don't have any listings on the app for the playoff finals, which start Saturday.
