Optus is considering offloading its popular sports streaming platform to Nine Entertainment in a move that would hand the rights of the English Premier League to Stan ahead of the arrival of British rival DAZN.
Optus had attempted to create a major sports streaming service, swooping on the Premier League in 2016 and shocking rivals by taking the rights off Foxtel. Its most recent deal, which includes the Women’s Super League, runs until 2028 and is worth an estimated $100 million per year.
