Parks Associates, in partnership with InterDigital, dives deep into this shifting landscape in their new report, Streaming Live Sports: Where Opportunity Meets Complexity.
Research from the study gives depth and insight into the good, bad, and glitchy aspects of sports streaming in 2025, and how the live sports-streaming landscape is experiencing a seismic shift.
According to the new research, 43% of U.S. internet households identify as “Sports Viewers,” and 40% of them now watch games exclusively via streaming services. As traditional broadcast models give way to direct-to-consumer (D2C) offerings, the live sports streaming market has never been more vibrant or more challenging.
“As traditional pay-TV services continue to shed subscribers, the economics of sports broadcasting are changing. Streaming creates new revenue opportunities for both sports leagues and streaming services,” said Michael Goodman, Senior Analyst, Parks Associates.
