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
But what happens if FIFA say we don’t agree we have sold all the rights to a streamer. It feels like a loophole in the current rules. Is there a way for Ofcom to block the streamer from being able do that as they don’t cover them in the same way. I can’t see one. It feels to me the rules need updating to stop this risk.
