Bringing another marquee sports night could be good for Apple TV+, which by some estimates lags well behind other major SVODs in terms of U.S. uptake.
And in a recent column on StreamTV Insider, Parks Associates’ Jennifer Kent pegged sports as a key differentiator to watch for in 2025, as platforms evolve the viewing experience and offer more interactive capabilities.
“Platforms will continue to battle it out over sports rights as well as other sports-centric exclusive and shoulder content with the goal of ultimately attracting and retaining these highly desirable viewers,” wrote Kent. “Ultimately, sports fans will be better served with a more organized and immersive fan-centric experience.”
