Serie A TV rights remain on Dazn and Sky: League accepts offer. De Laurentiis: “The defeat of Italian football”

The Italian league is still up Dazin and Skye. The television rights to our tournament from 2024 to 2029 on the fourth floor of Via Rossellini were allocated by 17 votes to 2 against and 1 abstention, for €900 million per season. It seemed that there would be a battle, but in the end the Liga Channel project was postponed for the time being.

The Italian League remains on DAZN and Sky

Therefore, the majority chose to continue on the same path, effectively extending the current formula until 2029: every weekend for the next five years, we will see all ten matches in each round of the tournament on Dazn, while Sky subscribers will be able to watch all the matches. Ten in each round of the tournament on Dazn. To continue watching three games in each round, even if he had a better option every three or four rounds. This means being able to stream more interesting matches at least once a month. But Aurelio De Laurentiis is not very happy with this decision: “The businessman must take risks. The value of Italian football begins with investment. Italian football enjoys the support of its fans. It is in the absolute best interest of the football club. My relationship should be direct with him. Not with Skye or DAZN. Dazen is not an expert. He’s not good for Italian football, like Sky. The Napoli president explained: “It is a defeat for Italian football, and Italian football will die.”

Until 2029

“When I sell cinema, the Champions League, the Italian League and TV series in a package or when I sell, like DAZN, Italian football and many other sports, I will not realize how much the value of the Italian championship will be. I hate to work passively. It is absolute stupidity to make a deal for five “Years ago. And months ago, Arabic left. In times of crisis, products like cinema and football do very well. They are a panacea. It’s a dream we put on the back burner, but I don’t want to bore us.”

However, Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo said: “De Laurentiis’ entrepreneurial vision is acceptable. But we did an excellent job on the tender and an excellent job on the channel. We chose this hypothesis because it is a combination of both. “If the piracy law succeeds as we hope, the 900 million euro base will increase.” But which bid did it pass? He predicts an average of 900 million per year over the years: the lowest part being in the first two years, then growing from the third to the fifth. And not only. The companies are Dazn’s revenue sharing partners: They will have the right to share revenues when TV subscriptions increase and without a cap. A possible deal on the condition that we seriously fight piracy and convince some subscribers of Pezzotto and its derivatives to choose official platforms to watch the tournament.
