Serie A will remain on Dazn and Sky until 2029 .
In today's meeting of the League the white smoke arrived for the TV rights: the offer of the two broadcasters was accepted with 17 clubs out of 20 in favour , 14 were enough for the OK. Napoli was absent, De Laurentiis is against the assignment, Cagliari and Salernitana voted against.
The latest raise put on the table by Dazn and Sky to broadcast the ten matches of the top championship amounts to 900 million per season for five years (from 2024/25 to 2028/29) , to which add a "revenue sharing" quota which could , in theory, slightly increase the revenue for the clubs. Dazn offers 700 million per year, Sky 200, we continue with the current structure: Dazn will broadcast all 10 matches, 3 will be co-exclusive with Sky .
The hypothesis of the Lega channel therefore expires, and Mediaset, which was aiming to obtain the Saturday evening match to be broadcast free-to-air, exits the scene. The broadcasters' offer is slightly lower than that of the three-year period 2021-24, which was 927.5 million per season.
« It is a defeat for Italian football, with this offer football will die . Sky and Dazn are not competent, they are not good for our football", is the harsh attack from Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis , who thus interrupted the press conference of Lega Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo.
