Apple Could Be Interested In Purchasing ESPN

• ESPN is currently owned by Disney and has the rights to show NBA, NFL, and MLB games among other major sports leagues

• According to reports, Apple is considering buying ESPN from Disney

• Apple could be looking to make an aggressive approach to get into the live sports business

ESPN is one of the titans of the sports broadcasting space, and they are a large part of what constitutes NBA media. From the talk shows to the live broadcasts of games, ESPN has a big role to play in the way the league is consumed by fans. And they could be in for a potential takeover. 

“Apple would get rights to the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, UFC, the PGA Tour, tennis Grand Slams, Formula 1, and college football’s Big 12 and SEC Conferences — plus ESPN’s first two Super Bowls after the 2026 and 2030 seasons.” 

Apple is worth $2.73 trillion and is one of the largest corporations in the history of the world. While ESPN is currently owned by Disney, Apple can buy the entirety of the company and make it its own. 

The company has been trying to get involved in live sports and streaming for a while now and securing ESPN could prove to be a major coup for them. Whether it will happen or not in reality, only time will tell.

ESPN Has Made Major Changes To Their Personnel And Business In Recent Times

While this whole situation will be far from easy to navigate for a massive corporation like Apple, ESPN also happens to be in the middle of massive internal changes. They made big changes to their roster of analysts and reporters, with big names like Max Kellerman and Jalen Rose going out, and the ever popular Shannon Sharpe coming in. 

It's not just the people that are changing at ESPN either, the company is set to introduce its betting platform at the end of the year and that would be an entirely new direction for the company that would take them to another level. 

If Apple does end up buying ESPN, more major changes can be expected from the company, and it will have a big impact on the way that the NBA is seen and consumed. It is an exciting time to be a fan of basketball, to say the least.
