Direct peers

• Sky Italia: Sky Italia operates a major Italian pay-television and streaming ecosystem spanning entertainment and sports. It directly competes with MFE for Italian viewers, premium content rights, subscriptions, and advertising.
• Atresmedia: Atresmedia operates Spanish television channels, digital media properties, and the ATRESplayer streaming service. Its integrated broadcast, streaming, advertising, and premium-content model closely resembles MFE's Spanish and Italian media activities.

• Netflix: Netflix is a global direct-to-consumer streaming service competing for Italian viewing time and subscription spend. Its focus is on-demand entertainment rather than MFE's full linear-TV ecosystem, but the platforms overlap materially in digital content consumption.
• Disney+: Disney+ is a subscription streaming service available in Italy with differentiated franchise, film, and series content. It is a direct competitor for premium household subscriptions and on-demand attention.
• DAZN: DAZN is a global sports streaming service with a strong position in Italy and rights to premium football events. It competes with Mediaset Infinity for sports audiences, streaming subscriptions, and high-value broadcasting rights.
• Prime Video: Prime Video offers subscription and advertising-supported streaming in Italy, including films, series, and sports-related content. It competes with Infinity for consumers' entertainment time and premium streaming budgets.
