Sports Streaming Jumps in Popularity: Report

More than a third (38%) of U.S. internet households subscribe to at least one sports-specific streaming service, up from just 4% in 2019, according to a new report from Parks Associates.

Among the other Parks Associates’ findings:

  • 52% of NFL and college football viewers engage with interactive features while watching.
  • $76 billion is the total value of the NBA’s new 11-year media rights deal beginning in 2025–26.
  • 26% of NBA TV revenue under the new deal will come from Amazon Prime Video.

“Sports have become the backbone of live streaming adoption,” Michael Goodman, Parks Associates senior contributing analyst, said in a prepared statement about the sports streaming report.

“The ability to deliver interactive, data-driven, and personalized experiences is changing how audiences connect with their favorite teams and leagues. Our research illustrates the huge potential for new monetization models as engagement deepens across connected screens.”
