Sky produce the product and then distribute through those Netflix/Amazon/Facebook platforms. Rugby League has always been seen as the innovative sport. This could be potentially game changing. Amazon have been pushing their Eurosport app for the Australian Open Tennis. I don't think there's a Sky app for the Amazon platform yet, but it may come.

Eurosport if I am right is owned by Discovery Channel and have the rights for Wimbledon for the next four years giving them all four Grand Slams as well as the Olympics (summer and winter) till 2022.They have the rights for the Tour de France (which is massive over here) World and European Athletics,Basketball ,Motor GP and Superbikes (in certain regions, most of continental Europe) .Here in Holland they show all the Bundesliga and Italian football and from what I gather could swallow up SKY and spit them out.I can remember when Rugby League was shown in the early days of Eurosport . Found this on youtube...2013 ...Eurosport looked like it was showing Super League Downunder !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 There was also the short-lived Sportscast channel. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screensport merged Eurosport according to Wikipedia but no mention of an league coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
