• Commissioner Adam Silver and Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum met in London this week with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss backing for a standalone European league.
• The duo also held talks with investors including KKR, CVC, Redbird Capital Partners, Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism and representatives from Galatasaray, as well as U.S. Ambassador Warren Stephens.
