TV sport costs rise as four subscriptions needed
Key Points
  • Cost of TV sports is rising
  • Four streaming subscriptions needed for all matches in top three men's football leagues from next year
  • Specific leagues, services, and total cost not yet known

According to multiple reports, the cost of watching televised sport continues to climb. From next year, supporters will be required to hold four separate streaming service subscriptions to follow every match in football's three leading men's leagues. The specific leagues and services involved have not been disclosed, nor the total monthly outlay.

It remains unclear whether the changes, scheduled to take effect at some point next year, will extend to other sports. Football journalist Olof Lundh, quoted by Barometern-OT, acknowledged that while fans are unhappy, the situation mirrors trends worldwide.

I know that people dislike it, but this is how it looks all over the world.
