This week we unpick DAZN’s negotiations in Japan to move their long term J-League rights deal in to a profit share agreement and wonder if this is how things are going to be in the post Covid era.Like DAZN, Amazon is never far from The Bundle conversation and this week is no different, with a look at the noises its making around live rights acquisition, and the launch of a new sports category on Twitch, and of course that new Spurs doc and accompanying storefront deal. Then it’s on to the future value of highlights, Mediapro’s Telefoot mobile subscription play, Spotify’s League of Legend sponsorship deal and the prospect of single leg UEFA Champions League matches. So much to fit in, hope you enjoy it. If you’ve got a topic you think we should discuss on The Bundle, get in touch via the website and sign up to our newsletter.
