Fox Keeps NFL Rights Stable Through 2029, Eyes 2030 Outlook

Fox will stand pat on its NFL rights deal through 2029, not paying more for the next four seasons and only signaling interest in talks for 2030 onward; the NFL’s current packages with Fox, NBC, Amazon and YouTube could end after 2029, with ESPN/ABC potentially exiting after 2030 and CBS under terms through 2029, while Lachlan Murdoch says the relationship is positive and there is a clear path forward. If other networks also stand pat, the next rights cycle could get complex, but a new, high-value slate of deals is expected for all parties.
