This week on Yahoo Finance Sports Report, host Joe Pompliano takes a look at some of this week’s biggest headlines in the sports business world that you and your portfolio need to know. From Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) scaling back its sports media rights to the MLB Players Association bracing for another lockout, the financial landscape of professional sports continues to shift. Plus, the Caitlin Clark effect continues as the Chicago Sky moves its matchups against the Indiana Fever to a larger venue to accommodate for an increase in fan attendance. Here's what you need to know:
Warner Bros. Discovery cuts back on sports
Following their fourth quarter earnings call, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav told investors WBD will be prioritizing intellectual property (IP) from film and TV properties that the company can own versus sports media rights. Zaslav said, “We don’t need any more sports anywhere in the world in order to support our business.” Though WBD will be losing the NBA after this season when their media rights deal ends, the company still owns the rights to the NHL, tennis French Open, NASCAR, Unrivaled women’s basketball league, and All Elite Wrestling.
MLB Players Association expects lockout in next round of CBA negotiations
The MLB is currently in the midst of collective bargaining negotiations for 2026 and the union is anticipating an offseason lockout. The last time the league faced a lockout was in 2021 and it delayed the 2022 season by a week. MLBPA Executive Director Tony Clark says 2026 CBA negotiations will start this coming spring and if a new CBA is not signed by December 1, the MLB will likely enter a lockout.
Chicago Sky moves Caitlin Clark & Indiana Fever games to the United Center
It’s the Caitlin Clark effect all over again. Chicago Sky announced they will be moving their two home games against the Indiana Fever from the Wintrust Arena to the United Center. This move will allow for 10,000 more tickets to be sold for each of these games, as the United Center has almost twice the capacity of Wintrust Arena.

It has been a jam-packed week in the world of sports business news. Netflix (NFLX) has expressed interest in taking the NFL rights to Sunday afternoon games, Nike (NKE) has partnered with Kim Kardashian’s Skims, ESPN has ended its broadcasting deal with the MLB, and so much more. This week on Yahoo Finance Sports Report, host Joe Pompliano takes a look at some of this week’s biggest headlines in the sports business world that you and your portfolio need to know.
US infrastructure not ready for 2026 World Cup, 2028 Olympics
Last week, the US Travel Association, a nonprofit organization that represents the travel industry - released a report saying the US air travel system is not properly equipped to handle the impending surge in travel tourism coming to the country in the next few years. Between the 2026 FIFA World Cup, 2028 Summer Olympics, and even America’s 250th birthday in 2026, an estimated 40 million people may visit the United States. If the White House does not get involved and implement reforms to improve infrastructure and technology, the country could face threats to national security, lose millions of visitors, and thus millions of dollars in visitor spending.
Netflix expresses interest in taking Sunday afternoon NFL games from CBS and Fox
Following Netflix’s successful streaming of the 2024 NFL Christmas Day games, which drew in 26.5 million average viewers, the streamer is looking to add more NFL to their roster. Netflix is reportedly looking to acquire one of the NFL’s Sunday afternoon games from CBS or Fox (FOX) if the media rights go back on the market. The NFL’s current media rights deal runs through 2033, but the NFL can choose to opt out of them in 2029. While breaking this down, Pompliano also expresses his concerns about CBS’s current media rights deal due to the network’s parent company Paramount’s (PARA) impending merger with Skydance.
Nike and Skims partnership fuels $6.7 billion in market value to the athleticwear brand.
Nike announced it is partnering with Kim Kardashian’s shapewear line Skims to release a new line of women’s athleticwear to be released this spring domestically and will roll out globally in 2026. Following the news of the “NikeSkims” collaboration, Nike’s stock jumped 6.2% on the day of the announcement, adding $6.7 billion in market capitalization for the company. This marks the first time in Nike’s history where the brand is working with an outside partner on a new brand offering.
Breaking down ESPN’s break up with the MLB
In this week’s Deeper Dive, Pompliano takes a closer look at ESPN and the MLB and why they chose to end their broadcasting deal after working together for 35 years. Though the deal was set to run through 2028, ESPN will finish out its contract in 2025 and the final three years will be voided.

From MLS, to the NFL to DraftKings (DKNG), to YouTube TV streaming rights and Formula One, it’s been a busy week in the world of sports. This week on Yahoo Finance Sports Report, host Joe Pompliano takes a look at some of this week’s biggest headlines in the sports business world that you and your portfolio need to know.
New York Giants are looking to sell minority stake in franchise
Though the Super Bowl is long over, there’s plenty still happening off the field in the NFL. The New York Giants announced they are looking to sell up to 10% of the team. If the deal goes through, they will be joining the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins in this new trend of NFL teams accepting private equity investors. Back in August 2024, the NFL voted to allow private equity funds to buy stakes in football teams. Forbes most recently valued the Giants at $7.3B, making them the fourth most valuable team in the NFL.
DraftKings Q4 earning results
In its fourth quarter earnings results, DraftKings announced it generated $1.39B in fourth quarter revenue. The gambling company also shared their iGaming revenue for the first time in company history. Pompliano breaks down DraftKings profits brought in via iGaming versus sports books and why the revenue from both are so significant.
YouTube TV and the fragmentation of sports media
Last week, YouTube TV was embroiled in a carriage dispute with Paramount Global (PARA). The conflict saw most of Paramount’s channels go dark on the Google (GOOG, GOOGL)-owned streaming service, just weeks before the start of March Madness. Though an extension agreement was made, this isn’t the first time YouTube TV has faced a carriage dispute with a network. The same thing happened in 2021 with Disney (DIS). Pompliano takes a closer look at YouTube TV and how the digital streamer’s business practices, price hikes, and rising costs have further added to a fragmentation of sports media rights.
ESPN exits F1 US media rights deal
The future of Formula One media rights in the United States remains in flux after it was announced ESPN will not renew its deal with the racing league after the 2025 season. Currently F1 receives $90 million per year from ESPN, but is looking for a higher annual fee. Netflix (NFLX) and NBC both have eyes on the league, so it will be interesting to see where negotiations net out with the racing giant.
Plus, San Diego FC CEO and founding partner Tom Penn stops by the show to talk about the team’s inaugural MLS season, which kicks off its first game this weekend.

Once her shoe is released, she’ll join Sabrina Ionescu and A’ja Wilson as the only WNBA players with signature Nike shoes.
Netflix’s Live Sports Strategy
Netflix (NFLX) recently announced that it added nearly 19 million subscribers in the last quarter. Part of this increase is due to Netflix’s push to stream more live sporting events.

The 2024-25 season marks the first time the NCAA is expanding the College Football Playoff from a four-team bracket to 12 teams. The tournament began earlier this week and will run through late January.
This week on Yahoo Finance Sports Report, host Joe Pompliano dives deep into everything fans and investors need to know about the new College Football Playoff format and why it’s going to be such a financial success for anyone who has their hands in its pot.
Pompliano says it’s simple as to why this is a success: there are more games.
“If you think about the old college football playoff system, there were really only a handful of games that mattered because there were only four teams, two rounds of games - a handful of games,” Pompliano says. “But now there's 11 games with national championship implications that has allowed the College Football Playoff [Selection] Committee to go negotiate a larger deal with ESPN. In fact, they were able to secure a $7.8 billion contract over six years with ESPN worth $1.3 billion annually. This deal was so large and there were so many games that ESPN actually ended up sublicensing a couple of these games to TNT for $25 million each.”
This is a massive amount of money and doesn’t even include potential ticket revenue from each of these games and sponsorship deals.
Plus, Olympic gold medalist and Boston Fleet captain Hilary Knight drops by the show to discuss the growth of the PWHL as the league begins its sophomore season.

For over 12 years, Nike (NKE) has partnered and collaborated with the NFL as the exclusive provider of uniforms and apparel for all 32 teams in the league. Earlier this week the sportswear giant announced they will be extending their contract with the NFL through 2038.
On this week’s episode of Yahoo Finance Sports Report, host Joe Pompliano breaks down the significance of this NFL partnership and why it’s a win for Nike, especially with the new CEO Elliott Hill — who entered the role in October 2024 — at the helm of this deal.
“[Hill] has only been on the job for a few months now, but he specifically said he wanted athletes to be at the center of everything they do,” Pompliano says. “That includes sports and sports leagues like the NFL. So this is a great sign for Nike.”
Pompliano is also joined by combat sports journalist and host of The Ariel Helwani Show, Ariel Helwani, to discuss the world of MMA (mixed martial arts), especially the growth of UFC. Helwani attributes a lot of it to the UFC's media rights deal with ESPN that began in 2019. UFC is currently owned by TKO Group Holdings (TKO), with Dana White continuing to lead the combat sports promoter as CEO and president.
“When ESPN is in business with an entity, they start to cover them and promote them a lot more. So they'll be on the ticker, they'll be on dot com, all that stuff, and more,” Helwani says. “When they really want to put the muscle and the machine behind it, it changes in a massive way.”

What a week to be a New York Mets fan! Sources told ESPN the team from Queens signed Juan Soto from the Yankees to a 15-year, $765 million contract, which is the most expensive deal in league history. This would break the record for most expensive contract, a record previously held by the Los Angeles Dodgers after they signed Shohei Ohtani last season for $700 million over the course of 10 years.
On this week’s episode of Yahoo Finance Sports Report, host Joe Pompliano gets into all the finer details of this massive contract negotiation and why this is such a big deal for the New York Mets.
Pompliano is also joined by Jess Smith, president of the Golden State Valkyries, to discuss what it’s like building a professional sports team from the ground up, the WNBA expansion draft that took place earlier this week, and what the league needs to do to take the next step to continue its growth.
“It’s everything,” Smith says. “The media deal is a huge component of the continued visibility, produced games, etc. We’re going to see these athletes. Their individual likeness is just continuing to grow exponentially on top of the talent that’s going to be coming into the league for the foreseeable future as people are already watching and taking note of the next potential draftees coming into the WNBA and taking the court against legacy players people have been watching for many years. But most importantly, it’s consumers. Consumers are the ones who have pushed this growth.”

On this week’s episode of Yahoo Finance Sports Report, host Joe Pompliano analyzes the ratings from the NFL’s 2024 Thanksgiving Day games, specifically the Dallas Cowboys versus the New York Giants, and explains what was so particular about this match.
The Cowboys vs. Giants game, which aired on Fox (FOX), averaged 38.5 million viewers during the broadcast. This is projected to rank as the most-watched NFL telecast this season, according to Fox Sports PR. What makes this so unique is the game itself was that “It was two of the worst starting quarterbacks [playing] in the league today,” Pompliano says. “Both backup quarterbacks for the Giants and Cowboys with Drew Lock and Cooper Rush played and the game wasn’t very exciting.”
Even the Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers game had high viewership with 26.6 million, according to NBC Sports PR.
Later on in the show, Pompliano breaks down the significance of General Motors (GM) joining F1 and Bluestone Equity Group Managing Partner Bobby Sharma, joins the show to discuss investing in sports.

Who knew betting on the NFL would cost DraftKings (DKNG) $250 million? On this week’s episode of Yahoo Finance Sports Report, host Joe Pompliano takes a look at the sports betting giant and breaks down why it took a financial hit at the expense of bettors taking massive wins.
In their recent earnings report, DraftKings announced that they revised their 2024 fiscal guidance due to NFL game bets going in favor of bettors. Pompliano says it’s not something DraftKings should worry about long term as they’re “sort of an ebb and flow with betting where sometimes the favorites go on a hot streak and sometimes the underdogs do as well.” However, he advises it “is certainly something that we need to be watching out for because the vig that DraftKings was seeing on these bets was not enough to make up for the loss on the NFL bets.”
Losses from football aside, DraftKings CEO Jason Robins is optimistic about the future of the company, recently telling Yahoo finance, "2025's going to be an even bigger year for us."
Commercial sports betting has become a multi-billion dollar industry that is continuing to grow. According to the American Gaming Association, its year-to-date revenue reached $8.36 billion through August alone, which is a 30.4% increase from the same period last year.
Plus, PFL founder and co-owner Donn Davis, joins the show this week to discuss MMA, media rights, and the growth of the fighter’s league.

There is a ton of money surrounding the 2024 World Series. With the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees kicking off the coveted playoff series this Friday night on Fox (FOX), the hype over both teams is sure to generate plenty of buzz (and revenue) for the network as well as the MLB.
This week on Yahoo Finance Sports Report, host Joe Pompliano goes in-depth about the World Series and why, specifically, the Dodgers vs. Yankees match will likely bring in massive numbers.
