As the Premier League prepares to make history by broadcasting a full round of fixtures live this week, albeit via Amazon, the question has once again been asked: Why doesn’t the Premier League have its own broadcasting channel or service?

It’s something I spoke about two years ago, a month after the last general election ironically.

A Premier League Game pass, run in the same way as the NFL’s, NBA’s, MLB’s and NHL’s, would basically replicate what every major sport in the United States is doing to great success.
