Optus have the PL rights until 2028

Hm, shame.
Very happy with this, brilliant.

As an Arsenal fan you only need the PL service. No need to worry about European football being on another service

Pretty dreadful news, of the four this was probably the second worst outcome. Especially for 6 years.
Where were people hoping the rights would go?
It's okay darling, you'll do whatever you can get to get your mind off Spurs

I have optus so not fussed but would have liked to have seen it with Amazon or with the A-league.
Really Optus just couldn't afford to lose it, they'd have many customers with contracts with it built in, legality wise they'd have to null and void if someone cracked it.

Think those contracts all have wording around them getting access for as long as Optus have the rights, so wouldn't have been an issue from that point of view.
Hope Optus push to bring in some of the other leagues like the EFL to make it worthwhile though.
Who has the WC rights in 2022? Is it Optus?

Paramount has FA Cup which isn't too bad.
SM

That's not too bad in the sense it's FTA, but one less appeal for Optus.

Yep
SBS brings you closer to Qatar on the road to 2022 World Cup
As we continue our countdown towards the 2022 FIFA World Cup, SBS brings you a new series that explores Qatar, its culture and ties to football.

Optus won’t have a chance at redemption after the 2018 World Cup was taken away from them during the tournament lol.
SM

Yeah and this is why it's a shame Optus got the rights again, as PL going to Paramount would have meant people could have ditched Optus and got Paramount for EPL, FA Cup, and A-League, which would have boosted eyes on the local product.

So when are the BeIN Sports contracts up next? Maybe Optus, Stan or Paramount can pick off those leagues…

Happy with that Optus has the EPL for another 6 years. No one has the Dutch, Portuguese or Belgian leagues in Australia which are worth watching
Not for another 2 more seasons.

I think Foxtel signed a multi year deal with BEIN in June/July …can’t remember how many years. BEIN signed new deal in Asia to show Serie A for next 3 years. BEIN struck a deal to show Bundesliga in other regions only recently so expect that’ll get extended in Asia as well

NBC Sports renewed over here until 2028. They paid 2.7 Billon US.
Honestly wonder if the big European Teams, may go for another Super League but just exclude the English Teams post this....
