We track who has the rights, what it costs, and how to actually find the game. That’s the brief. To do it credibly, we follow a sourcing and verification process that we want spelled out clearly.
Sources
Every broadcast claim we make traces back to one of three primary source tiers:
- Official broadcaster announcements — press releases on the rights-holder’s own site (Peacock, Paramount+, Apple TV, ESPN, FOX, CBS, NBC). When DAZN says they’ve extended a deal, we link to the DAZN press release, not a secondary aggregator.
- League official communications — NFL.com, NBA.com, MLB.com, MLS official press, Premier League rights announcements, UEFA media releases.
- Mainstream sports business journalism — The Athletic, Sports Business Journal, Front Office Sports, Variety’s sports coverage, AP Sports for breaking news.
If a claim cannot be sourced to one of those tiers, we either don’t publish it or label it as analysis with the reasoning shown.
Fact-checking
Every broadcast-rights page is checked against the rights-holder’s own current pricing page before publication. We verify:
- Subscription tier names and prices match what the broadcaster currently sells
- Coverage scope (which leagues, which matches per week)
- Geographic availability for the market we cover (United States)
- Blackout rules where applicable
The rights-holder’s site is the source of truth. If their pricing changed since our last update, our page gets corrected before that page publishes again.
Update cadence
US sports broadcasting deals shift constantly. Our update commitments:
- League rights deals (NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, Premier League US) — we revisit each league hub page within seven days of any major rights announcement, plus a routine quarterly review
- Broadcaster pricing — checked monthly against the broadcaster’s current site
- Editorial pieces — long-form analysis pieces are revisited at least twice a year for accuracy and updated if facts have moved
The dateModified field on every page reflects the actual last-edit date, not a refresh of unchanged copy.
Corrections
If you find an error, email [email protected]. We commit to a 48-hour response window. If the error is factual we’ll correct the page and add a corrections note at the bottom citing the specific change.
Independence
We don’t take broadcaster money. We don’t run affiliate links to subscriptions. We don’t accept paid editorial placements. The site is self-funded.
When we say Peacock is the cheapest legal route to Premier League in the US, we say it because the math is the math — not because we get a kickback for it. When we recommend NFL+ over Sunday Ticket for a specific use case, the math leads.
AI disclosure
Editorial research and drafting on this site uses AI tools as a starting point, with human editorial oversight on every published page. AI helps speed up rights-deal research and broadcaster pricing aggregation. Final editorial judgment, factual verification, and final wording are human-edited before publication.
We disclose this because Google’s helpful content guidelines, FTC content guidelines, and our own readers’ trust deserve transparency on how the work gets made.
