They can for broadcast channels but do they actually have the power to stop streamers.
They could show it, but it’d have to be shown on free to air broadcast television as well
Eurosport has had various World Cup and/or euros rights in the past, but it still had to be shown on BBC/ITV
Of course if they’d have to share their live games, there is little incentive for the streamers or pay broadcasters getting involved.
