Potential tension between Premier League and English Football League over data revenue

Media sources have speculated that the Premier League and English Football League are engaged in a dispute over data rights.



The rumors demonstrate the increasing value of commodity data in today's sports environment.

The EFL, which includes the second, third, and fourth tiers of the football pyramid, and the Premier League are equal shareholders in FootballDataCo, the company that owns the football data rights for the system.

After that, media outlets and bookmakers purchase this data. The data is gathered and disseminated to media and betting stakeholders by Genius Sports, FDC's principal data partner in one of the flagship agreements with London-based sportstech companies.
