Europe’s top clubs are aiming to secure at least €5bn (£4.3bn) annually from the sale of television rights to Champions League, Europa League and Conference League games in the next cycle, potentially sealing a 10% increase on their existing value.
The first media rights tenders for the period between 2027 and 2033 will be launched this month. In a groundbreaking move, one game in each matchweek could be streamed globally by the same provider, which would have the first pick from that round of games. It leaves open the possibility that Disney or Netflix could screen men’s Champions League games.
