Netflix has traditionally been known for scripted shows and documentaries, but lately, they've been venturing into the world of sports programming.

Their recent documentary series like "Formula 1: Drive to Survive" and "Last Chance U: Basketball" have been well-received. This success is underscored by their upcoming partnership with WWE to stream their flagship show "Raw" live, starting in 2025. This move marks a significant strategic shift for Netflix.



Furthermore, Netflix is set to globally stream a highly anticipated heavyweight boxing match between YouTuber Jake Paul and former undisputed champion Mike Tyson. This is a major milestone for the streaming giant.

During a recent press conference, UFC president Dana White commented on the possibility of working with Netflix.

"In my opinion, Netflix should have gotten into live sports a long time ago," White said. "They're a bit behind the curve, but they're a powerhouse. Look at the global reach they have... You guys saw that show Reacher I posted about? I love it! I generally hate TV and rarely watch shows or movies anymore, but Reacher is fantastic.



The beauty is, I can watch it whenever I want - at home, next week, whenever. Live sports, like this event tonight, are different. You have to watch them as they happen. As these massive streaming services continue to grow, getting involved in live sports is inevitable. Let's just say, I'm sure we'll be talking to them when our TV deal is up for renewal, along with everyone else."

The streamer is leaning more into sports, another tactic in boosting its audience and holding onto subscribers. While they haven't gone all-in on live sports yet, their recent moves suggest they see potential in the market."
