16% Of US Homes Have OTT Sports Service

16% of US broadband households have a sports OTT video service subscription, according to Parks Associates.

Although it does not stream live games, NFL Game Pass is the most highly adopted service, with 6% of U.S. broadband households having a subscription compared to 4% for the WWE Network and MLB.TV.

“For sports content owners, OTT is a viable way to expand audience reach, but there are technical issues to consider,” said Glenn Hower, research analyst, Parks Associates.
