TL;DR

Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch said Fox’s NFL rights deal will remain intact through the 2029 season and won’t be amended, even as the NFL pushes to use an opt-out to refresh terms with partners like Amazon, Disney, NBCUniversal and CBS amid streaming’s rise. Talks with rights holders are ongoing, and Fox says its relationship with the NFL remains positive, with negotiations likely to restart closer to the current pact’s expiration.
