Champions League coming to Netflix soon? UEFA eyes a massive windfall | OneFootball

According to journalist at the Times, Martyn Ziegler, Netflix is reportedly considering making a bid for the TV rights of the Champions League. UEFA is hoping for a record contract estimated at 5 billion euros per year. This would be a sensational entry of the streaming giant into the world of football, which could reshuffle all the European audiovisual cards.

This would be a small revolution: Netflix, so far confined to entertainment and series, is now eyeing the biggest European sports show. UEFA, eager to maximize its revenue after the overhaul of the Champions League format, dreams of an absolute 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 football. For Netflix, it would also be a way to diversify its offering, as competition intensifies against Disney+ and Prime Video. The fans, for their part, could win... or not: between multiple subscriptions and market fragmentation, the battle for the screen is just beginning.
