Welcome to Inside the Deal, the podcast which gets under the hood of the most interesting deals taking place in the global sports industry.

This week, Frank Dunne, Imran Yusuf and Maria Kholodova look at the recent Disney+ deal for the rights to the Uefa Women’s Champions League and ask what it means for the relative strategies of the media company and the governing body, and look at whether the fresh round of UWCL deals confirm the upward trajectory of media rights values for women’s football.
