UPDATE: 12:45 PM: The Sports Business Daily is verifying that Fox pays $450 million-$500 million for rights to a different two World Cups, and Telemundo pays $600 million. If true, people are massive markups within the last U.S. rights offer 2005, when ESPN paid out $100 million and Univision $325 million. PREVIOUS, 9:40 AM: Fox Sports has won the British-language rights to broadcast the 2018 and 2022 soccer World Cups in Russia and Qatar, correspondingly, and Telemundo has won The the spanish language language-language rights, after investing in an offer happened now in Zurich. No financial particulars were revealed, however the official announcement is predicted sometime today or at the start of a couple of days, according to Sports Business Journal the sale includes rights for the Women’s World Cup in 2015 and 2019. What this means is current rights-holders ESPN and Univision — whose deal in the last two World Cups cost them a combined $425 million — lost within the auction at FIFA headquarters, an unpredicted outcome that didn’t seem to become on anybody’s radar. ESPN, whose current deal includes the 2014 World Cup in South usa, mentioned today in the statement: “We developed a disciplined bid that might have been both valuable to FIFA and lucrative for the organization, while ongoing to build up our unequalled coverage around the world Cup and girls’s World Cup occasions.

Both Fox and ESPN are actually prominent systems offering soccer coverage inside the U.S., where the sport’s recognition is solid but nowhere near to large since it is in Europe both share rights for the States’ Major League Soccer games, and both show Fox features its own Fox Soccer Funnel cable network, that will certainly figure plainly on the planet Cup plans.
