In other similar tournaments one company buys the rights and then dishes it out to others on a national basis. I think DAZN will lose a fortune trying to get the money back from advertising if it is only available on their platform.It’s on DAZN because they coughed up the money for broadcast rights.
The Saudis have paid the the money on behalf of DAZN. In return they get to host the 2034 World Cup. It’s incredible when you type it out.In other similar tournaments one company buys the rights and then dishes it out to others on a national basis.

We'll see what happens as it gets closer.
That would make more sense. They aren't afraid of losing money to get prestige events. They are no mugs though, and I would expect them to sell the rights were they can claw back most of the outlay.The Saudis have paid the the money on behalf of DAZN.

Anyone had their refunds paid out yet? Any ideas when they’re likely to be paid?
It’s a bit much asking folk to fork out for stupidly priced tickets in the first place then getting us all to buy them again……. Then wait weeks before getting any money back! And all this right after Christmas.No refund yet, but I did read the return window closes 27 Feb, so I’m guessing they’ll process refunds after that date.
Problem is the 2 world cup qualifiers in early June most national teams have.Final July 13th, PL season starts August 16th.
3 weeks off(if we win it) then 2 weeks training with a couple of local friendlies.
Not as bad as I thought, give the lads a week off at the end of the season (fcuk any internationals off) with a weeks training in the US prior to the first game.
Lots of one game a week between now and the end of the season so players can be rotated/rested.
Is that any different from the World Cup final or Euros final date and the season starting?Final July 13th, PL season starts August 16th.

No, but it means the “once every two seasons you get the entire summer off to recuperate” has removed yet another summer! European players involved with have 1 summer off in 4 now, and that is unacceptable.Is that any different from the World Cup final or Euros final date and the season starting?
Didnt realise they were WC qualifiers, no way players will want to miss.Problem is the 2 world cup qualifiers in early June most national teams have.

Great stuff. Nowt here yet.Got my refund yesterday :)
Yup - the PL have refused to allow any delay to the start of ours or Chelsea's seasonI hope Pep plays the kids for the whole tournament.
Is it too sensible to schedule for the first week of the season for City to play Chelsea?
But actually play the fixture a later date in the season giving both teams an extra week to prepare for the season.
A combination of nations league finalists,, World Cup qualifiers and friendlies for the rest.Didnt realise they were WC qualifiers, no way players will want to miss.
Mine arrived today - finally.Got my refund yesterday :)
