Greetings!On Tuesday, we brought you the first story in our new series, Game On, which laid out the landscape of an entertainment world racing to go all-in on sports. The result is a $29 billion business only poised to go higher. Just today, ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro said he was open to striking deals with other sports leagues similar to its swap of a 10% equity stake to the NFL in exchange for media assets and access to more games. Today's second piece is the perfect complement to that analysis, a comprehensive list of all publicly available sports rights and who owns what. Our own Lucas Manfredi notes, many of the rights deals are locked up for the next several years, but you will see some disruption as each of the major leagues see their existing deals expire and move to re-up. He pointed to the National Hockey League deal expiring in 2027, Major League Baseball in 2028 and the NFL expected to exercise its option to terminate its current deals in 2029 and negotiate new ones. What it means is that the battle for access to the top leagues will continue as demand from traditional broadcast, streamers and tech companies drive up their value. Next Tuesday, look out for our next story in the series, which examines what all these deals mean for consumers facing an increasingly fragmented environment.
