Streaming service follows
Premier League success with further football rights tie-up
Fresh from the success of streaming top-flight English football for the first time,
Amazon has sets its sights on Europe’s premier club competition, securing exclusive German rights to a package of
Champions League matches.
Amazon’s deal in
Germany is akin to its move to break the stranglehold on Premier League rights held by Sky and BT in the UK. In Germany, Champions League rights are held by Sky Deutschland, which sub-licenses a package to sports streaming service DAZN.
