Premier League football clubs are set for a huge American pay-day with CBS, ESPN and NBC fighting it out to secure the league's TV rights for a whopping $2BILLION.
There were concerns during the coronavirus pandemic that the appeal of English football in the United States may have been diluted, but it is now being reported that the latest sale of TV rights could double what was previously negotiated in 2015.
The Financial Times write that there are just three broadcasters left vying for the prize, with second-round bids due by November 18 as Disney's ESPN, Comcast's NBC and ViacomCBS fight it out.
