Google, NFL Sign Long-Term Deal for Sunday Ticket
The NFL signed a multiyear agreement with Alphabet giving YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels exclusive rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket starting with the 2023 season, the league said Thursday. "For a number of years, we have been focused on increased digital distribution of our games and this strategic partnership is yet another example of us looking towards the future and building the next generation of NFL fans," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. The Sunday Ticket presents out-of-market Sunday regular-season NFL games. It has been distributed on DirecTV since its launch in 1994. The agreement also extends carriage of the NFL Network and NFL RedZone on YouTube TV, it said.
