This is such an exciting time for our industry.

Our interpretation of the data is that sports will thrive in the decade ahead, and the sports IP owners who grow fastest will be those that know their fans best.

Super proud of the team for this insight!

Two Circles predict the total value of sports rights globally to rise from £150bn to £220bn over the next decade.
But within that number there'll be big winners and big losers.
It ain't an all boats rise scenario...
