The State of Sport Streaming in Europe

Sport streaming in Europe has entered a new phase. The question is no longer whether live sport can be delivered online at scale. That problem has largely been solved. What now defines the market is something deeper, more structural, and more emotional. The real challenge is how sport streaming becomes sustainable, differentiated, and emotionally resonant in a landscape that is more fragmented, competitive, and complex than at any point in its history.

The State of Media & Entertainment Streaming 2026

In last year's The State of Media & Entertainment Streaming, I wrote about the likelihood of studios and platforms with fewer subscribers than the big three (Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and Disney) having to collaborate or merge to reduce the costs of content creation and acquisition while growing their userbases in 2025.

The State of Streaming Monetisation 2026

How are streaming content companies doing? Publishers, creators, and aggregators have traditionally made the majority of their revenue on subscriptions, so why does everyone want to talk about advertising?
