BT have confirmed they are in talks to sell a stake in their sports business BT Sport, following reports that Amazon, Disney and DAZN had opened discussions
BT, Britain's biggest broadband and mobile operator, moved into sports broadcasting in 2012 when it won the rights to show a package of live Premier League matches.
It later added the Champions League - after winning the rights from Sky Sports - and other sports such as rugby union to the service to take on Sky, the dominant player in British sports broadcasting.
BT's current Premier League package, which cost them £885million, allows them to show 32 matches for three seasons from 2019-20. Their Champions League package was a three-year, £1.2billion deal until 2024, giving them the UK rights to every game in the competition.
