I think they will have to offer the EPL as part of the $19.99. for as it stands, it's $20 bucks month for what is really a pretty small amount of content.
I have zero interest in motorsport, MMA and little interest in rugby (AB games against Tier 1 nations only) so EPL is the only thing I'd be interested in. I remember PLP was $240 a season (I think), so would assume they would look to include it in their pricing.
Interesting to see where they go,as i think they have set their price pretty high, Kayo in Aus is $25 a month and has pretty much every sport you can imagine (EPL excepted). Full list here - https://www.finder.com.au/sports-on-kayo
So you'd imagine they'd need to add sports to the $20 price point to keep people interested, rather than keep increasing it as they add more sports.
I really hope that ends up being the case, but until they announce the details I'm sceptical. F1's in-house F1TV Pro streaming service retails for $11.99 US a month, the equivalent of $17.84 NZ. Coliseum/PLP back in the day went for $199 for the season, the equivalent of roughly $22 a month.
Unless the rights have gotten a lot cheaper, giving us $40 worth of content for $19.99 would seem overly generous of Spark. And that's before you even factor in WRC + MMA + Hockey + NBA + European rugby.
Really hope spark have got Xbox/PS4 apps in the works. At the moment if you try to play any content on the site via the web browser on a console you just get an error message.
