Overview
- Media reports say UC3’s 2027/28–2030/31 tender awards most Champions League matches to Paramount+ and the Wednesday top game to Amazon Prime Video, with the final reportedly on Netflix.
- According to German outlets, Paramount+ would carry the Tuesday top match and the bulk of Tuesday and Wednesday fixtures, with figures cited as 184 games for Paramount+ and 19 for Prime Video.
- DAZN has confirmed it will lose Champions League rights after 2026/27 and has secured exclusive Europa League and Conference League rights for 2027–2031, while Sky and RTL are said to have received no CL packages.
- Fans face greater fragmentation and higher costs to watch top-tier football, with multiple subscriptions likely needed; exact pricing and any sublicensing remain to be determined.
- FC Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund welcomed higher revenue potential but cautioned that split rights complicate access and affordability for supporters, and German law would still require a free-to-air option if a German club reaches the final.
