MLS gets roughly $90 million a year in current agreements with ESPN and Fox Sports. The league is growing among younger viewers, has a new market in Austin, and with Sacramento on hold, Las Vegas could be next. MLS had a small run on NBC from 2012-2014, and now that the network has extra money to play with, MLS could be on its radar.

The MLS' media rights shouldn't cost too much as it is still building and needs to prove more on the TV viewership front. It's here that Major League Soccer could benefit from the NHL moving. "And NBC has shown that soccer fans tend to trend younger, be tech-savvy, and willing to subscribe to streaming services to obtain that content." "That's going to be a very competitive marketplace," Berke said of the global soccer league. And the network has to think about upcoming deals with NASCAR and Premier League. NBC also could have used the NHL content to continue building its Peacock streaming service, but, again, it would be paying more for less.

I've got a new entrance with Turner, which has done a great job with the NBA and MLB." I've got ESPN promoting the sports heavily throughout the year on all platforms. "If I'm the NHL, I'm thrilled," Berke said.

HBO Max, which has been late to the game in the sports streaming space now has an immediate set of NHL rights that attract young, diverse digital first audiences."īerke called the NHL's rights increase a "signature moment," pointing out the league solicited more fees in Canada than in the U.S. Said Octagon media executive Dan Cohen: "Since Turner missed out on the PGA Tour's media rights, you knew they had to add a fourth pillar to their sports portfolio (NBA, MLB, March Madness), and now Jeff Zucker has completed that task. Turner plans to incorporate Bleacher Report into its coverage, lure sports betting opportunities and have flexibility in the deal to put NHL games on HBO Max when the service is ready to host live sports. The network sees innovation around hockey presentations, and again, it knows NHL fans will follow. And Turner gets another fall-into-summer sports package that can lead to its Major League Baseball coverage. If it had stayed with NBC, the NHL would have had its Stanley Cup content rotated on two broadcast networks, NBC and ABC, and the Winter Classic would have remained in the broadcast network spotlight too.īut by choosing Turner, the NHL gets some cross-promotion with the NBA and college basketball games. The NHL loses a broadcast network and transitions more to cable, which is on the decline. And the move could be a risk for Commissioner Gary Bettman's league, too. The thing is, will Turner attract more than $200 million worth of hockey revenue to help pay for those rights? NBC knows what hockey broadcast attracts annually and wasn't willing to pay the increase. Hence, the new bet is ESPN and WarnerMedia believe they can lure those fans into signing up for their streaming services using NHL content. Hockey viewership usually trails that of other sports, mainly the National Football League and National Basketball Association, but the NHL has a dedicated fan base. On Monday, word leaked that NBC had pulled out, and the deal was formally announced on Tuesday. But Turner came in with a money bazooka and offered its deal. Behind the scenes, the chatter suggested NBC was only willing to pay just over $100 million per year for the rights.
