This is prompted by my brother texting me that he is going, but that its not on any TV channels, so he presumes I won’t be able to watch. I will, because it’s on Viaplay Sport, and my buddy’s son lends me his account details. Viaplay is a big Scandi TV company, looking to open up in the UK. They show a lot of English footie from all competitions, including Charlton games which are coverd by Sky. But not just those. It looks like they have bought a complete rights package for the Carabao Cup. I was able to enjoy the Brighton game, with Swedish commentary.
So the question is , which English footie entity sold them the rights? My best guess is the FA. So what broadcast fee money will Charlton get from it?

I now see that a lot of other usual suspects have the rights at least. DAZN (whom the German lads rely on, but they're all at OT this time) and BEIN sport, for example. It's a rights bundle with the league games. It may well be that it's just divved out among EFL clubs on a more less equal basis with nothing extra for being chosen for screening.
We will have to be satisfied with 45% of the net ground receipts from Old Trafford.
anyway looks we get nothing extra😡
