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.
