The super league clubs won't lose out financially other clubs down the tier will and though there's a reduction in games clubs will be able to negotiate deals with other platforms so in theory all games could be shown live
Championship clubs look close to doing a deal for themselves with Premier Sport

Same money for less games?

I suppose 66 games will allow 2 games a weekend with Catalans able to negotiate separately for their home games. Sounds better than the rumoured Elstone deal.

Any mention of free pizzas in the small print?

Sky only having “first pick in each of the play-off weeks” is interesting.

It’s a big drop in funding.

Will there be another network keen to take on the games Sky don’t choose?
Will Our League become a potential money-maker, with games shown on a pay-per-view and subscription basis that are not on Sky?

The net loss is £833,333 per season or £69,444 per club per season. Given they’re showing less games, the deal maybe on a par with the current one

Fewer televised games might well result in increased attendances too.

Rumours are on social media that the deal is for 66 games for £25m.

But two further blocks are available of 10 games with BBC picking up one for Saturday 3pm games.

The other 10 opens the door for another paid deal like BT/Amazon Prime/Premier Sports

The BBC are saying it's worth between £25-£30 million. So a loss of £10 to £15 million for the super league clubs. Which is a joke considering the clubs only just survived a pandemic and now they're getting less tv money.

The deal is for one less year than before, so the net loss is less than £70,000 per year per club.
