Premier League financial risk

With Paul Quinn

A four-part examination of how broadcast income concentration, rights counterparties and commercial exposure shape Premier League financial risk.

  1. Part 1

    Concentration and Third-Party Risk in Premier League Broadcast and Commercial Income — Part 1: The Global Rights Map

    Behind football’s record revenues, rising valuations and ambitious ownership models sit two increasingly important questions: who controls the income, and who supplies the capital. Across seven parts, Paul Quinn first examines Premier League broadcast and commercial-income risk, before turning to private credit—how it works, who funds it and where the risks ultimately sit. Regular FootBiz editions will continue as usual, with these special reports published periodically over the coming weeks.
