The Premier League may soon be making a big move that could change the entire face of sports broadcasting. The English League is one of the world’s most competitive, exciting, and profitable soccer leagues. Now, with plans to expand even further, their success looks set to take them into NFL territory.
The sports market has undergone a drastic transformation over the years, replacing traditional cable media with streaming services. This has granted fans the ease of access they longed for. Additionally, this allowed teams and companies to keep the rights to their sports.
This was the case last year with the American Football League, NFL. They launched their app, NFL+, which allowed people to watch any game remotely, as long as they had access to the app and the device with it. The same might be coming to the Premier League.
