National Football League (NFL) broadcasting rights

The NFL’s broadcasting rights determine which TV networks and streaming services can air games. These rights are sold through multi-year contracts to networks like CBS, FOX, NBC, and ESPN, giving them exclusive rights to broadcast certain games, including regular season, playoffs, and the Super Bowl. This arrangement ensures the NFL reaches diverse audiences across different platforms while generating significant revenue. Generally, the league sells these rights in packages, sometimes splitting them by game type or region, which helps maximize exposure and revenue for the teams and the league itself.
