16% US Households Take OTT Sports

According to research from Parks Associates, 16 per cent of US broadband households have a sports OTT video service subscription. Although it does not stream live games, NFL Game Pass is the most highly adopted service, with 6 per cent of U.S. broadband households having a subscription compared to 4 per cent for the WWE Network and MLB.TV.

“For sports content owners, OTT is a viable way to expand audience reach, but there are technical issues to consider,” said Glenn Hower, Research Analyst, Parks Associates. “The user experience is of paramount importance to the viewer for sports content. The lead established by the NFL speaks to popularity of football, and the league’s service has avoided a major hurdle since it does not stream live games.”
