More NFL games are coming to streaming platforms.
While FOX, NBC, CBS and ABC/ESPN continue to own most of the NFL’s media rights, the NFL continues to dip its feet into the streaming world.
The NFL and YouTube are in “advanced talks” for a five-game package, according to Ryan Glasspiegel.
“Price and duration of the YouTube package were not immediately known, nor was when the games would air. NFL Network’s previous package of games primarily consisted of international games that kicked off at 9:30 a.m. ET,” Glasspiegel reported.
The more the NFL can spread its game deals around, the more money the league will make. And the streaming platforms are very desperate to get in on the action.
YouTube TV already owns the NFL Sunday Ticket package, agreeing in 2023 in a seven-year deal worth $2 billion.
It appears that YouTube is determined to get even more involved with the NFL.
