The PL ditching Skysport and BT Sports

The Premier League is considering dropping their multi-platform partners such as Sky Sports and BT Sport in the future and instead showing games on their own platform.

There will most likely be only one more multi-partner arrangement before the Premier League eliminates the middlemen and runs the show itself. It will be disastrous for Sky, which helped create the Premier League into the financial behemoth it is now after joining forces in 1992.

It will be a license to print money for the Premier League, making their clubs even richer, but it will be a blessing for supporters who will have to pay more money for extra subscriptions as more platforms display sport.
That is yet in the future and will not help supporters who are currently forced to pay for Sky Sports, BT Sport, and Amazon Prime in order to watch every Premier League game.

Several networks, like DAZN and Disney+, are rumored to be vying for the next deal, while Viaplay televised recent internationals involving Wales, Scotland, and the Republic of Ireland.

It costs roughly 拢100 per month for fans to watch all of the football on TV, while those who attend live games suffer more antisocial kick-off hours – a double whammy for the paying public.

Kevin Miles, chief executive of the Football Supporters Association said: 鈥淭here鈥檚 no question that supporters are increasingly feeling the financial strain. We鈥檙e not untouched by the general cost of living crisis but the more platforms there are, the more subscriptions we have to find. For those fans who want to watch every one of the club鈥檚 televised games, the costs are really starting to mount.鈥�

Former Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor thinks enough is enough on the increasing number of subscriptions.
He admitted he didn鈥檛 watch Scotland鈥檚 recent European Championship qualifying victory against Spain on Viaplay. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 watch the game because there are that many different channels now that football is on.

鈥淵ou鈥檝e got Viaplay 拢15, BT Sport 拢30, Sky Sports 拢24, Amazon 拢9. You鈥檝e got Premier Sports, I can鈥檛 keep up!鈥�

If the Premier League are able to go it alone they will also be placed on the spot over kick-off times because it鈥檚 the broadcasters who currently carry the can over the scheduling.
