NFL’s era of free TV is starting to wilt. The streaming age of football is here

New York Times  

The NFL’s TV deals are done. The league announced new contracts with CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN/ABC on Thursday and also agreed to a deal with Amazon to make its Prime streaming service the exclusive home of “Thursday Night Football.” As part of the deals — which lock in revenues for the NFL of more than $100 billion through the 2033 season — ABC will come back into the rotation of networks broadcasting the Super Bowl. The NFL announced a 10-year agreement with Amazon to exclusively broadcast 15 “Thursday Night Football” games and one preseason game per year. Kaplan: ESPN+ will get one exclusive game a year, an international one on a Sunday morning, while Peacock will “deliver an exclusive feed of a select number of NFL games over the course of the agreement.” An NBC spokesman added, “and will have one exclusive national game each year from 2023-28.” The biggest swath is clearly on Amazon Prime with its new deal. Jones: The NFL hasn’t released full details yet on how the flex formula will work for “Monday Night Football,” but it would be reasonable to expect it would be similar to the process that’s in place for “Sunday Night Football,” in which the league can move an undesirable matchup out of one of those premium prime time slots.
