At a Premier League Shareholders’ meeting today, clubs unanimously agreed that the Premier League will establish a new in-house media operations business.

Launching for the start of Season 2026/27, the Premier League will bring all international media content production and distribution in-house. For 20 years, this service has been provided in partnership with IMG, operating as Premier League Productions (PLP).

    Premier league Netflix - it'll 10 x revenues - this has been needed for a long time. 

    The issue is that almost all Prem teams have US owners or have US funding to some degree or another and will ultimately push for a closed league. 

    Apart from that this is good and will continue the huge waves of money washing into English football. 

    Which maybe in the next 30 years we could get a taste of.

    There is a fine line between being optimistic and delusional!

    I thought 30 years was a decent bullseye -

    Can only hope that any move towards a closed league would get the same backlash as the European Super League proposal, the demise of which was wholly fan led.

    Closed league won't happen because of the football regulator, whenever that goes through
