Netflix's first live sports broadcast could happen in the fall, though the apparent plan for the real-time stream may have limited appeal among sports fans.
Netflix is planning its first sports-based live stream, according to a Wall Street Journal report on Monday.
Recommended Videos Talks are said to be in the early stages, but if the idea materializes, the event could take place in Las Vegas this fall. While Netflix’s initial offering may generate limited interest among sports fans, it could pave the way for additional deals involving more prominent sports events that could in turn encourage fresh sign-ups to the streaming service. However, a serious push into live sports would mean securing expensive broadcasting rights that would involve Netflix diverting money away from other content that it produces.
