However, I do wonder if a major network might partner with Netflix to license 'major matches' for network TV. And who know what the media landscape will look like by then - Netflix may already OWN a major US TV network. So matches may all be vertically integrated by that point.

And no doubt dedicated women's football fans will subscribe (if they aren't already).

The tradeoff is the potential loss of casual viewers who would've tuned in to network TV channels (i.e., Fox, ABC, CBS) to watch the major matches like those featuring the USWNT or event the WWC Final.

First thought: Netflix will surpass cable television in household subs next year. So in some ways, FIFA is taking the vast majority of WWC games from cable networks (e.g., FS1 and FS2) to a place where larger audiences reside, certainly by 2027 and 2031.
