Soon sports on Apple TV+?

Certainly,the amazing means ofAppleare an excellent asset to… compete. Indeed, while we learned this week thatthe firm that makes the iPhone is eyeing MGM studios, now she is interested in the national sport of the United States, represented annually by the Super Bowl. A competition during which advertising spots are sold... The equivalent of more than 150,000 euros per second.

On the other side of the Atlantic, there are so many football teams that it is impossible to broadcast all the local championships on national channels. This is where comes inNFL Sunday Ticket: by subscribing to it with a monthly subscription, you have access to a streaming offer allowing you to see your favorite players playing live, even without living near their city. A service which would now be in the Cupertino target.

Partner or competitor?

The television package in question is distributed on big screens by DirecTV. If this name doesn't mean anything to you, it's because it's a subsidiary ofAT&T, the second operator in Donald Trump's country behind Verizon. A company which notably sells packages with iPhone on its site, and which is therefore an Apple customer.

And according to the latest rumors, the NFL Sunday Ticket teams would like to take advantage of the end of their contract with this reseller to think about new opportunities. Leaks on negotiations with Apple confirming this position, with facing itAmazonwhich would also be in the running to buy back the broadcasts in the bundle.

For the moment, we do not know more, however such an operation would signify the arrival of a new type of content onApple TV+, which only offers films and series for the moment. This is not the first time that a well-known application has wanted to include sport in its programming: recently,Spotify was spotted in similar exchanges. Finally, be aware that for the moment, this information is still only a hypothesis and that we must wait for it to be made official before drawing any conclusions.
