NFL reassigns ex-ESPN games to FOX and NBC, boosting broadcast windows
TL;DR
The NFL will add four new national broadcast windows by reallocating two ex-ESPN MNF games to FOX and NBC, with CBS also adding a primetime Saturday slot. The arrangement shifts ESPN/ABC’s MNF inventory to broadcast TV and ties into broader streaming-rights dynamics involving Netflix and YouTube, including a Munich Week 10 game and a Week 15 Saturday window, plus NBC’s Week 17 Peacock slot.
