Premier League CEO Richard Masters has admitted that the landscape for Premier League broadcasting will ‘obviously’ have to change in the near future.
Discussions over the future of England’s top-flight broadcast plans have been rife for years – with Masters admitting, back in 2020, that the league were working on plans to launch a Netflix-style digital streaming channel, selling live games direct to fans.
Those plans never came to fruition, however, in a recent interview with Sky Sports, Masters suggested that there will have to be changes in the broadcast market.
He said: ‘If you think where football was 10 years ago, it’s a sort of version of where we are today. But I hope the PL will still be in it’s current position globally.
‘I think obviously, things are going to change. Maybe the broadcast market. But I hope that we retain and maintain some of the great things about English football.
‘The history and traditions of the game, the way the whole thing fits together with it’s sort of soap opera chaos thrown on the side but it maintains it’s current shape.
