As part of the launch, vessels with an active Basic or Premium entertainment subscription through Bazeport on launch day will be able to receive the new Premier League highlights package free of charge, as a loyalty bonus. Vessels without an active entertainment subscription will be able to subscribe for a monthly fee (to be announced).

“Life at sea can mean months away from home, and the small things—following your team, catching the big match—matter more than people realize. This launch is about bringing that piece of home to every deep-sea vessel, supply ship, and floating oil unit we serve. It’s also just the beginning: Premier League highlights are our first step into sports, and we intend to keep building out premium sports and entertainment for the maritime market in the years ahead,” said Thorstein Rinker, Chief Sales Officer at Bazeport.

The Premier League is the most-watched football league in the world, broadcast to an estimated 189 countries and around 900 million homes, with approximately 1.87 billion people engaging with its content at least weekly. Clubs including Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United, along with the league’s global roster of star players, have made the Premier League one of the world’s most closely followed sporting competitions.

Marketing activities for the launch have now begun, with further details on pricing and availability to follow.
