With Prime Video now carrying the FanDuel Sports Network, fans can now watch the Cardinals globally. It’s another avenue for fans to stream the team, especially those that don’t want to pay for the team’s streaming platform and those that already have Prime Video.
What’s is unsure at this point is how this will impact the teams in agreement; will the Cardinals see additional income from the deal? If so, does each team with broadcast agreements see equal revenue or will it be based off another metric like ratings, views, etc?
Prime Video has dipped their toes into sports, so does this agreement signal something bigger? Prime Video attempted to purchase Bally Sports prior to FanDuel Sports Network taking over, but the MLB wasn’t keen on this. We’ve also seen Prime Video broadcast NFL games on Thursday night, so baseball could be the next avenue.
