Should be noted that these are domestic broadcast deals only.
Wait how can the English fans pay so much more than the other fans from their respective countries to justify this difference in revenue domestically? I thought the premier league had an edge solely due to the much larger foreign market
It costs £740 annually to subscribe to all the services currently showing PL matches, so about €900. That's not an insurmountable expenditure for someone with a decent job in any European country, although it certainly stings a bit.
900 per year is insane to me. Yes, it’s affordable for a lot of people, but I can’t imagine paying that much just out of principle.
This. I live in Serbia and I pay 10 euros a month approximately for sports channel that broadcasts literally every PL game lmao I know my country is poor, but paying that amount of money to watch domestic league is wild
Tbf that gets you more than just sports, will get you the whole of sky broadcasting.
Wow, as if there are so many things at sky that are interesting other than football.
F that man. Thats way too much whether people can afford it or not
20quid a month for all sky sports on nowtv. Quite regularly offer those deals. Thats about 75% of the matches covered. And you only need it for 10 months.
As an American, that’s pretty cheap.
I’m paying about $170 a month for the cable package and three streaming services necessary.
The full sky package + TNT + amazon prime I believe works it more than $170 in the UK, although you do get the other sky sports channels and probs Internet with it . I'm not sure how much they charge the pubs for it , but there's a lot of sports pubs in the uk .
I don't know many who even pay for it all, most of my mates have a dodgy firestick
In Italy It got worse Dazn was already too expensive for the quality it offer but now they have increase they price even more.
to put it lightly. Its a fairly insane amount, especially given that its basically the equivalent of every streaming platform i can think of
Preying on addiction. The English can't live without football.
Na, this was always built on us being rinsed first and foremost. I have no idea why we accept this, the only reason Germany doesn't make as much is because they won't accept this shit.
There's a lot of shit German fan's won't just accept. I've found that a lot of English fans think that every other nation is jealous of their league but that's definitely not the case in Germany. They want their league to avoid the mistakes of English football while other nations try to copy it.
