Credit to Andrew & Seb for breaking the story. Sad day for tremendous colleagues (at ESPN) with rights changing. As I mentioned to @richarddeitsch in his pod, the Bundesliga world feed will continue to be a big part of my🎙️life. Beyond that, I know no more than anyone else.


It’s been two hours since the final whistle and just a single French player has come through the mixed zone.

For Bundesliga fans in the US 🇺🇸 The Bundesliga is moving its US domestic rights from ESPN to a combination of USA Network and Fandango for $100 million over five seasons USA and Fandango are part of Versant, whose sports strategy continues to develop as a hub for quality rights that are below the zenith of the NFL and NBA. USA Network already has U.S. rights to some Premier League matches, which Bundesliga will complement. Fandango is known as the place to buy movie tickets in theaters, but Versant is attempting to transform it into more by offering films on its platform, and with this deal, live sports for the first time All 300-plus Bundesliga games will air on either USA or Fandango. USA requires a subscription via cable or another provider, while Fandango does not and is ad-supported. If a game is on USA, it will not be on Fandango and vice versa [@TheAthleticFC]
