Kicking Off with a New Media Vision…
Hold onto your remote controls and popcorn, because the Premier League is plotting a “Premflix” play that could give your TV a whole new channel to flip through. Rumor has it that come 2029, the Premier League is ready to dive into the streaming world, borrowing a few pages from NFL’s Game Pass playbook. While loving the idea of “Premflix,” they still seem a bit commitment-shy and are considering merely dipping their toes abroad, while keeping Sky Sports and TNT Sports as the domestic MVPs.
Inside intel suggests that by 2026/2027, those footy folks will be calling the shots on international broadcasts straight from their new high-tech HQ at Kensington Olympia. While club owners like Chelsea’s Todd Boehly are all in for a direct-to-fans fiesta, the league’s thinking about starting small, almost like trying a sip before chugging the whole sports smoothie.
As the domestic broadcasting bosses prepare for their upcoming auction battle royales, the Premier League might want to take the stage as the ultimate producer-in-chief. Whether they’ll score a streaming sensation or settle for a panel discussion on ‘Manchester is Red’, one thing’s for sure – your footy screens are in for some serious dribbling action. Tune in, and keep your eyes peeled!
