Houston Talks Premier League With NBC
Published On: 04-01-2022
Hunter Atkins pointed out that, There are rumors swirling in the Premier League that Tilman Fertitta may be a potential bidder for Chelsea. However, the NBC-owned club denied this report and said it would not comment. The news triggered several other interested parties to make their own offers. And while the speculation is certainly not new, it is interesting to see what the Premier League has to say about such a deal. As a result, this is good news for fans of the game.
It's no secret that NBC is in the process of buying Chelsea. NBC's new deal will reportedly cost them $450 million per season. The previous contract was worth $1.1 billion and averaged $183.3 million a season. This deal is good news for the league and Houston, because interest in the Premier League has soared since NBC acquired rights from Fox for the 2013-14 season. It isn't the first time that a sports franchise is being purchased by an American owner. In the past, the Fertitta family has taken a keen interest in other sports franchises, but the deal with Chelsea was a particularly lucrative one.
NBC will continue to hold the U.S. broadcast rights for the Premier League until 2022. The deal will cost more than $2.7 billion and give NBC control over the team for six years. This deal will allow Houston to continue to run a team under the rules of the Premier League. The deal will also give Houston the opportunity to remain competitive in the international market. It could also bring in millions more in additional revenue, but it will depend on the terms of the deal.
The deal with NBC will cover the 2022-23 season. The World Cup will interrupt the 2022-23 season. NBC will also carry all 380 matches. As part of the deal, the League also extended the contract with Optus Sports in Australia for six years. And the deal will give Houston the opportunity to host the knockout stage. And the next phase will be the quarter-final stage. It will be interesting to see what Houston has in store for the Premier League.
The city's NRG Stadium is one of the jewels in the crown for Houston's bid. The stadium is part of the NRG Park campus, which includes convention centers, training facilities, and an indoor arena. It is close to five other training facilities, including the 70,000-seat NRG Stadium. In addition, the bid will be competitive due to NRG Stadium's fully retractable roof. It will be the centerpiece of the Houston Premier League.
