Netflix Reportedly Eyeing NFL Sunday Afternoon Games in Future Media Deal

The streaming giant is expected to bid for rights to NFL Sunday games, potentially ending long-standing partnerships with CBS and Fox by 2029.

Netflix plans to bid for NFL Sunday afternoon games, currently held by CBS and Fox, in the league's next media rights deal.
The NFL's current broadcast agreements run until 2033 but include an option for early termination in 2029, which the league is reportedly likely to exercise.
Netflix's exclusive broadcast of two Christmas Day NFL games in 2024 attracted 65 million global viewers across 218 countries, marking a successful debut in live sports streaming for the platform.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has prioritized global expansion of the league, with Netflix seen as a potential partner to further this goal through its international reach.
If successful, Netflix's entry into Sunday NFL games could significantly reshape the sports broadcasting landscape, potentially displacing one of the league's traditional TV partners.
