I think they mean that this gives 10m Freeview and Freesat viewers access to a 24/7 sports channel for the first time.

Yeah that sounds about right. There's just short of 28 million households in the UK. Around 18 million homes have pay TV.
Even with only 75% Freeview coverage the channel will still reach close to 5.5 million Freeview households. Pair this up with SKY and Freesat, and Virgin Media homes with Freeview access, the channel will be going out to about 20 million households not to mention pubs, clubs, hotels etc...
Wonder if they'll launch a live stream via their website or an app? Then it'll be available to almost everyone.
