An increasing number of European football clubs are stepping back from linear TV offerings, with FC Barcelona recently announcing the closure of Barca TV. So what does this mean for the industry? What's clear is that there's still so much untapped potential for clubs, but clubs need to know where and how to extract it. We're witnessing a shift as clubs invest proportionately to where their fan revenue opportunities are. It's time for clubs to start acting like D2C brands as we see sport, media, and entertainment converge as industry verticals and mutually beneficial partners. Think "Welcome to Wrexham", "All or Nothing" or "Drive to Survive". James Corbett's recent article for Off The Pitch features Neil Joyce, Sébastien Audoux (former Executive for CANAL+ Group) and Tom Hines, (Principal at J40 Media and former Head of Media at Arsenal F.C) as they share their perspective on the trend.

It will be very interesting to analyze the outcome of the bidding concerning the CL rights. If an international actor takes over the rights, will a local actor ever be able to take over again? #sportsrights #championsleague #uefa #broadcasting #streaming

Comprehensive as always from SportBusiness... Personal reflection is I'm disappointed Amazon didn't stay in the game. We've still got the Boxing Day fixtures to come, but off the back of APV's latest round of midweek fixtures, I'll miss them next season, following on from the news that they ultimately didn't enter the auction for the next cycle of domestic Premier League rights. Whether because they got squeezed out by reduced number of packages or didn't want to massively multiply their investment to broadcast EPL football, I've enjoyed the past few seasons of what feels more like a US experience of watching sport, flicking between concurrent matches depending on the state of the games. And any broadcaster who gets Clive Tyldesley and Ally McCoist is doing something right, in my opinion! Perhaps it's unsurprising they didn't participate in the auction, given the increased costs involved. As this articles details, in this current cycle they've paid just £20m per season for 20 live matches. Compare that to Sky's £1.2bn bill for 128 matches or TNT Sport paying £325m for 52 matches. In a world in which we're still waiting for the FAANG giants to really commit to live sports broadcasting, this felt like the best tactical dipping-toe-in-water so far, driving Prime membership at a crucial retail moment in the build up to Christmas and with Boxing Day sales.
