The media landscape is changing as the world continues to dive into the world of streaming and the NFL is no different.
In a recent interview with Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, NFL commissioner Rodger Goodell refused to rule out the possibility of a streaming-only Super Bowl in the not-too-distant future.
“Anything is possible,” the commissioner said when asked whether that is a possibility in the 2030s. “With a changing media landscape, the way it changes as fast as it changes… it’s certainly possible.”
No Super Bowl has ever streamed exclusively, although three of the last four have streamed simultaneously with conventional over-the-air broadcasts. That will be the case again this February, when the game will air on NBC and Peacock.
I’m sure the three streaming exclusive partners of the NFL – Amazon, Netflix and YouTube – are going to love hearing this from Roger Goodell.
