NFL to Move Four ESPN Games to Netflix and YouTube Streaming
TL;DR Summary
The NFL will relocate four games that were part of ESPN’s now-ended Monday Night Football arrangement to Netflix and YouTube, per CNBC’s Alex Sherman via Awful Announcing. The shift stems from the broader deal that gave ESPN control of NFL Network and a stake in ESPN, with the league’s recent broadcaster RFP hinting at five-game streaming options. Potential targets include Week 1’s 49ers-Rams in Australia, a Thanksgiving Eve game, and a Black Friday game, as the NFL pursues standalone streaming windows and streamers’ willingness to pay a premium.
