Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly part of a consortium looking to acquire one-third of Liverpool Football Club, valued at approximately $6 billion. This would mark Bezos' first investment in a major professional sports team, despite his previous interests in U.S. leagues like the NFL. The partnership comes at a time when global soccer brands are poised for growth in the U.S. market, especially following the recent 2026 World Cup. Analysts suggest that Premier League teams like Liverpool have significant revenue potential compared to franchises in other leagues due to differing revenue structures.
