Eleven scraps subscription offer in UK

International sports broadcaster Eleven Sports has dropped its annual pass offering in the UK, as speculation continues over its long-term future in the market.

UK subscribers had previously been offered the option of a monthly pass priced at £5.99 (€6.70/$7.60) or an annual pass for £49.99.

Eleven Sports told the Trusted Reviews website that while the yearly pass has been dropped, it could yet return.

“It might come back as we’re constantly looking at ways to make Eleven Sports easier for fans to engage with,” Eleven Sports said.

Eleven Sports last month confirmed it was in talks to restructure its deals for rights to Italy’s Serie A and Spain’s LaLiga, as its chief executive Marc Watson vowed the OTT service would fight on in the UK.

Eleven, which operates as a streaming service in the UK, earlier lost its Ultimate Fighting Championship rights in the UK from 2019 after being unable to secure a carriage agreement.
