Serie A TV rights, towards a five-year tender with Sky and Dazn co-exclusively

The approval of the new call for TV rights for the TV has been postponed to 16 May A league starting from the 2024/25 season. Eight packages on a three-year, four-year or five-year basis, twenty-four in total. This is what emerged from the last meeting of League in Milan on May 4th. Each package is made up of different proposals, but the most suggestive is the co-exclusive Sky And Dazn in nine of the ten scheduled races. For the tenth game – which should be the second in order of importance over the weekend – a duel between Amazon And Mediaset. The real news – given the recent modification of the law Melandri – is that the rights could be assigned for five years and no longer for three. It all depends on the offers that will arrive from broadcasters, with the League willing to embrace the hypothesis of co-exclusivity – welcome both a Sky both at Dazn – in order to be able to maximize revenue, also meeting – net of the tenth game to be assigned to a third broadcaster – the needs of viewers, who will see a reduction in the number of subscriptions to subscribe.

TV rights, Casini: “We want a centralization of the offer”

“We want to create something never done before – explained the president of Lega Serie A Lorenzo Casini – for a centralization of the offer in the announcement, at least for the current archive. It is a very complex operation, for which mass approval has already been found”. The number one of the League then reiterated that there is “unity of purpose” on the packages that will be included in the tender, whose approval is expected for next May 16: “We are talking about the most important tender since there is the law Melandri, is the first that reaches five years with respect to the seasons, compared with the three-year period. There has been tremendous work and further discussion. There was an assent to the whole announcement, with a further request for more information on the issue of archival rights and in particular the need to link this novelty to a statutory change. Precisely for this reason we have postponed “, he concluded Mess. The possibility of spreading the TV rights over a five-year period benefits both the broadcasters, who in this way can plan their investment better, and the Lega, which hopes to be able to receive a higher offer than that envisaged for the only three years.

Galliani: “Napoli’s Scudetto is good for TV rights”

The scudetto to Naples “It broadens the boundaries of football, a team from the South hasn’t won with Roma since 2001,” he said Adrian Galliani, CEO of Monza, as he left the Hotel Gallia in Milan after the Lega assembly, adding that “this is good for TV rights, the ideal for me is that a different team wins every year”. Also present in Milan was the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, to whom the assembly reserved a warm applause after the victory of the Italian flag.
