In recent years, sports events have become a place of great competition for content platforms. Content platforms that want to gain more subscribers or sell subscriptions at higher prices are turning to sports events.Huge NFL move from YouTube
The Sunday afternoon match package of the NFL league, which has been available under the DirecTV platform for many years, will be streamed on YouTube from next year. YouTube agreed to pay $2 billion each year for a total 7-year deal.
Since it is a very popular league, the expenses do not stop there. YouTube will look for new solutions so that the NFL Sunday Ticket package can be broadcast in bars and restaurants. For this, he has to pay 200 million dollars annually. Thus, the amount paid by DirecTV annually exceeds 700 million dollars.
So how much will YouTube earn from this? DirecTV subscribers could watch Sunday games for $70-$140 per month. Non-subscribers paid $294 per season. The users of this package were around 1.5-2 million. YouTube will likely implement a similar system.
