The nature of the wholesale deal with Sky is that Premier Sports, just like TNT, can’t market direct to consumer in Ireland. So no streaming service for us. The linear channels are on Now but with no on demand content or red button streams (same goes for TNT).
Whether that arrangement will survive the current FAPL rights cycle will probably be more down to TNT and whether they want to retail D2C in Ireland themselves, as Premier has effectively piggy backed on their deal (in Ireland, you can’t take TNT Sports without also taking Premier Sports, and vice-versa).
