DAZN launch bid to buy TV rights for all EFL matches in 2024-25


DAZN launch bid to buy TV rights for all EFL matches in 2024-25

Wonder if they’re fed up with trying to stop moody streams and they want a piece of the pie?

Interesting. Its inevitable the 3pm Saturday blackout will go and you will be able to watch any game of your choosing. But I thought the clubs might get the rights to their own games ala ifollow with the EFL taking a slice.

There will be huge pressure to get rid of the 3pm blackout. They're already pushing the angle that it's just enabling piracy which is absolutely true and a point made on here regularly.

The likes of Apple and Amazon are believed to be putting together bids for worldwide rights to the Premier League, they simply won't accept anything but every game being streamed.

The EFL package from Dazn stinks of ITV Digital mark 2

But with nearly double the money. The ending of the 3pm blackout on Saturday IMO would hit the lower league clubs hard.Going to watch Wimbledon v Crewe on a very cold Febuary day as apposed to Norwich v Everton on the TV in a nice warm house you have to be a diehard to chose the former.

How?

How?

How isnt it? Showing every EFL game live will be the death knell for smaller clubs. No fucker will travel to watch Harrogate v Barrow if they can watch it at home would they?

We get an average of 19k Home fans for our games, even at our level we would get affected big time, you could take 3k of the floating fans off that straight away

But every EFL game is already shown live if someone is desperate enough to watch a game?
Not sure how DAZN can be compared to ITV Digital.

Disagree tbh, think the Championship is a far better spectacle than it was back then

Be interesting to see how much a subscription is to watch any EFL game

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I would still attend the home games but it would help me watch all the away games as well as I can rarely travel now with mini TGP playing on a Saturday morning.

Im not opposed to every game being available to watch but it has to be PPV per match (maybe closer to the ticket price) and the money has to go to the individual club. If it’s, say, £10 a month to Dazn for access to every game then I can’t see how it wouldn’t negatively impact revenue.

Unless it’s a mental deal like the Premier League and Harrogate (for example) receive TV rights three times the size of their gate receipts. Would potentially kill attendances but could the clubs afford to make tickets cheaper then.

Unless Clive is on commentary I'm not interested.

Mind you that commentary when him and Oggy were on v Wigan at home was great when Gyokeres scored that 2nd goal

Eakin is decent compared to a lot of other local commentators and his quirks add to it all.

Enjoyed seeing Clive's match prep for Huddersfield which consisted of getting on the rail replacement bus from Manchester and sleeping the whole way there.
