I've been thinking a bit more about RB's post above. The risk I see of "everything" getting streamed is that the average sports fan will migrate to watching just the top teams, ie. the Premier League, or a cup or league match of interest. So Northampton - AFC Wimbledon I doubt would get many extra streams on top of their home fanbase as clubs with perhaps very little national or international following.
I signed up to Sky during lockdown to get the play-offs, and now for £25 a month I'm not about to start paying one-offs for any game other than Oxford United.
In league 1 we get very few Sky games at all. But will the football league somehow try and drop Sky tv as broadcast rights holder in return for ifollow / streaming?
And how will the revenues get shared out? From some distant memory in the past it was about 40% to the club and the rest to ifollow / the football league. And I don't think the football league then redistributed it, it just went into their general income.
Will be interesting to see what they do say.
