finally the Champions/Europa/Conference League and EPL in one place again!

Good for customers with Nine having an impressive sports portfolio making Stan Sport the home of football. Just need to get the A-Leagues rights to fill in their schedule in between the League and tennis

Hopefully the deal goes through

Would be good to have football on one streamer. If it’s Stan they need to separate Stan and Stan sport.

They won’t. Why would they pass up an opportunity to upsell?

I thought Stan Sport was already separate from Stan since it’s an add-on, similar to Stan Event.

It is but to get it you have to get a Stan subscription. Can’t be stand alone.
