I am very curious how much money the broadcasters are making with this strategy, and how much money the leagues or ESPN are letting on the table by just allowing this to happen.
Football(soccer for Americans) is definitely the worst offender here, I know it is much more difficult to package and sell these streams because leagues are so fragmented, but if FIFA could use their weight to pull it off it would be gigantic(hell, even if it's just UEFA).
As an expat, I find it absurd it is impossible to get a legal stream to watch my home league, even UEFA champions league streaming is hard enough to get.
- kodablah 9y agoIf you have a decent cable package in the states, you can stream EPL (NBC sports app), Bundesliga, UEFA, (Fox Sports 2 Go for last 2), English Championship, La Liga, Serie A, and Ligue 1 (last 4 Bein Sports). Granted I haven't confirmed whether they carry all games. But those are perfect examples of regional restrictions because that's US only.
- mrisoli 9y agoFar from that. I am a Brazilian in Europe, cable packages here are terrible, can't get any of the bigger European leagues(and of course, nothing from South America), I have relegated myself to just catch up with the news and watch bigger matches in a bar every now and then.
