The new Bundesliga broadcast strategy

The top-flight German soccer league has taken a bold and innovative approach to its broadcast strategy in the UK market. Live coverage of this season’s action spans Sky Sports, Amazon, BBC, and YouTube, offering multiple ways to watch — from subscriptions to free-to-air and pay-per-view. In this episode of StreamTime Sports, co-hosts Nick Meacham and Chris Stone share their thoughts and hopes for how this strategy plays out.

Key Points:

What characteristics of the UK market led the Bundesliga to take a new approach to distributing its games out of market?
Should we expect this approach to fundamentally impact domestic broadcast deals?
Why did the Bundesliga select YouTube and content creators as broadcast partners?
Which of the Bundesliga, LaLiga, Serie A, and Ligue 1 approaches will have the biggest impact in the race to become the leading foreign league in the UK?
