Overview
- TNT Sports is expected to lose UK coverage after a decade, with an official announcement pending.
- Paramount’s package would include every match except the first pick on Tuesday nights, which is expected to stay with Amazon in the UK, Germany and Italy.
- Canal+ is set to carry all fixtures in France, while Spain’s tender continues with Movistar and Paramount among the bidders.
- Bids were materially above the roughly £1bn TNT previously paid, pointing to a larger overall valuation for the new cycle.
- The UC3/Relevent process ran simultaneously across five major markets, increasing fragmentation for viewers who may need additional subscriptions; separate reports also say Paramount won Germany, and talk of a potential Warner Bros. Discovery bid remains unconfirmed.
