The new agreements will begin with the 2023 season and run through the 2033 season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These new media deals will provide our fans even greater access to the games they love. We&#8217;re proud to grow our partnerships with the most innovative media companies in the market,&#8221; NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. &#8220;Along with our recently completed labor agreement with the NFLPA, these distribution agreements bring an unprecedented era of stability to the League and will permit us to continue to grow and improve our game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The NFL&#8217;s new media agreements grant the following rights to their partners:<\/p>\n<p>AMAZON: In the NFL&#8217;s first-ever all-digital package, Amazon Prime Video has acquired the rights to be the exclusive home of Thursday Night Football across hundreds of compatible digital devices.

All games will be broadcast on the CBS Television Network and streamed live on Paramount+, ViacomCBS&#8217; flagship streaming service. CBS, America&#8217;s most-watched network for the past 12-years, is the NFL&#8217;s longest-running media partner having first begun televising NFL games in 1956.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN: ESPN will continue to be the NFL&#8217;s television partner for cable&#8217;s most-watched series, Monday Night Football.

Through the new agreement with ESPN, the NFL will broaden its broadcast distribution to include ABC, which will carry two Super Bowls along with additional exclusive regular season games each year. (Monday Night Football and Thursday Night Football are required by contract to be carried on over-the-air, broadcast stations in the cities of the participating teams.)<\/p>\n<p>INCREASED &#8220;FLEX&#8221;-ABILITY: As part of these agreements, there will be an increased ability to flex games to Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football allowing fans to watch more meaningful games in primetime.<\/p>\n<p>INTERACTIVITY &amp; ALTERNATE BROADCASTS: The NFL&#8217;s media partners will now have greater ability to innovate around their productions and provide interactive elements such as stats\/data, chat and integrated social feeds as part of their digital presentations. Additionally, there will be alternate presentations of select NFL games in addition to each partner&#8217;s main production similar to the one&#8217;s fans viewed during the 2020 postseason with ESPN&#8217;s MegaCast and CBS Sports&#8217; presentation on Nickelodeon.<\/p>\n<p>CBS, FOX and NBC will each televise three Super Bowls while ABC will carry two during the term of the agreements. The following is the Super Bowl broadcast schedule through 2033.<\/p>\n<p>CBS: 2023, 2027, 2031<\/p>\n<p>FOX: 2024, 2028, 2032<\/p>\n<p>NBC: 2025, 2029, 2033<\/p>\n<p>ESPN\/ABC: 2026, 2030<\/p>\n<p>The NFL is the most valuable content in all of sports and entertainment.
