The Premier League rights in the Nordic region are the first to be sold for the cycle beginning with the 2022/23 season.

Negotiating directly with NENT is likely to have fetched the Premier League a greater fee.

Brokers and agencies are likely to retain important roles in other markets.

As rights are sold off in Sweden and Denmark, IMG Nordic's OTT broadcaster will not continue.
