DAZN's £200m bid for EFL TV rights would be 'great for English football', claims Simon Jordan - and believes it would give the organisation 'leverage' over the Premier League.
The ambitious move could spell the end of the 3pm blackout after Sportsmail revealed this week that the streaming platform wanted to purchase the rights to all 1,656 games from the 2024-25 season and onwards.
The blackout - which has been in place since the 1960s to encourage fans to support teams in the lower leagues - only applies to when 50 per cent of Premier League and Championship matches are due to kick off at 3pm on a Saturday.
