The future of sport for fans and advertisers alike lies in streaming, according to Marie Donoghue, Vice President of Global Sports Video at Amazon, as she offered a jaw-dropping statistic to support her case at a Cannes Lions event charting the evolution of live sports viewing.
“By 2026, 136 million fans will be streaming sports,” she quoted from New Marketer. “It’s the present and it’s the future. It’s a great opportunity to bring great content, convenience and value to fans, and for advertisers to interact and engage.
“Viewers are younger, more affluent and spend a lot more time with the game. A lot of our audience wasn’t even watching NFL on other services.”
Donogue oversees all of Prime Video’s global sports video and was pivotal in last year’s launch of Thursday Night Football. She explained that the focus has remained on the fan since then. “We didn’t want to be different for the sake of being different. We needed to create a broadcast that worked. [That’s] not always easy on streaming, you needed to find it easily. Then we added alternate broadcasts and prime vision with data overlays. But it’s all about the fan.”
Now, Amazon has ambitious plans to further tap into the booming market. Donaghue mentioned the prospect of tying Black Friday to the NFL game that same afternoon — “it’s an opportunity to create a new sports holiday for fans.”
Unsurprisingly, her fellow speakers on a sports-themed panel were equally enthusiastic about the new global audiences streaming platforms are able to reach.
Matt Brabants, SVP, Head of International Content Partnerships, NBA, told the session: “For us it’s all about accessibility, innovation and customisation. We have a global brand, we have fans all around the world

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Netflix is poised to score big from two tax incentives that are moving through the state legislatures in California and New Jersey this week. In California, the legislature is set to approve a five-year extension of the state’s $330 million incentive for film and TV production. For the first time, the tax credit will be refundable — meaning that companies like Netflix, which does not have California tax liability, will be able to benefit. And in New Jersey, the legislature is moving forward on a significant expansion of a state incentive for film and TV infrastructure. That expansion is designed in part to help Netflix redevelop Fort Monmouth, a former military base on the Jersey Shore, as a production facility.
