I find it puzzling why there isn't a Netflix for sports that just shows sports channels. (Or is there?)

Cable providers like to lure people in with sports channels and then force sports to only appear in the top payment tier.



In the US this is unlikely to happen because the big 4 sports all want to control their own distribution, TV rights, and streaming. I think they believe there's more money in that method.

DAZN (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAZN) is increasingly popular, at least in Europe.


In Australia the dominate cable provider who owns 80+% of sports rights has just launched this (Kayo Sports). Costs 2.5x ($25AUD) a basic Netflix connection ($10AUD) though.
