Diamond Sports Group has announced a new multi-year agreement with Amazon’s Prime Video which will allow direct-to-consumer access to the FanDuel Sports Network. The network is made up of 16 regional sports networks which serves fans in 31 states.
Under the terms of the agreement FanDuel Sports Network RSNs will be made available via Prime Video as an add on subscription for those living within a team’s designated geographic area. Customers will be able to subscribe to and watch their local FanDuel Sports Network content, including live games and pre- and post-game programming directly through Prime Video.
Also, as part of the deal, Amazon will market the availability of FanDuel Sports Network content on Prime Video. The company notes in a release, “Fans who watch local games through Prime Video will enjoy a seamless and customized viewing experience, as Prime Video allows them to subscribe, manage, and watch their favorite streaming services and sports content in one place.”
David Preschlack, CEO of Diamond, said in a statement: “Partnering with Prime Video, one of the largest streaming destinations in the U.S., and making FanDuel Sports Network available as part of their add on subscriptions, creates a tremendous opportunity for us to expand our reach and better connect with viewers. Our partnerships with Prime Video and FanDuel combine with our agreements with team, league and distribution partners to support a transformative reorganization of our business, and a leading linear and digital offering that will continue driving long-term value and enhanced experiences for our partners and fans.”
Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.
