Champions League coming to Netflix? UEFA eyes a huge payday! | OneFootball

According to Times journalist Martyn Ziegler, Netflix is reportedly considering submitting a bid for the TV rights to the Champions League. UEFA is hoping for a record contract estimated at 5 billion euros per year. A dramatic entry by the streaming giant into the world of football, which could completely shake up the European audiovisual landscape.

This would be a small revolution: Netflix, until now confined to entertainment and series, is now eyeing the biggest sporting spectacle in Europe. UEFA, eager to maximize its revenues after the overhaul of the Champions League format, dreams of an all-time record for its TV rights. The potential arrival of the American giant would mark a major turning point: after Amazon (Ligue 1, Premier League) and Apple (MLS), a new global player would be entering the world of football.

For Netflix, it would also be a way to diversify its offering, as competition intensifies against Disney+ and Prime Video. As for the fans, they might benefit… or not: with multiple subscriptions and a fragmented market, the battle for the screen is only just beginning.
