Welcome to The SportBusiness Podcast, getting you informed on the biggest stories in the global sports industry.
This week, Martin Ross and show host Catherne Davies chew the fat over the news highlights of an eventful and often tumultuous year. Olympic esports, Uefa rights sales, a new broadcast player in Saudi Arabia, Two Circles, a football league’s D2C quandary and media deals of Paramount importance all feature.
Matthew Glendinning comes aboard to flag key trends to have shaken up the sponsorship market in 2025, plus his top three sponsorship stories of the year, headlined by the WTA’s record-breaking deal with Mercedes Benz.
Plus, TGL is back and the death of the international federation acronym.
