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.

In 2025, shoppable live content began to come of age in Europe. Having already achieved massive success in Asia over the last few years, the concept had struggled to gain a foothold in Europe as a viable option for retailers and brands. This changed in 2025, as major platforms and brands began to put significant resources behind the shoppable live concept.

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. As predicted last year, some of this movement has begun to happen, but not necessarily with the smaller players.

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? Ad-supported content is more affordable. Because most streaming consumers have maxed out their subscriptions, leaving the SVOD market saturated, advertising is more likely to be the dominant incremental revenue driver for streaming over the next several years, based on how media companies are talking about themselves and guiding investors.
