The National Football League has finalized its new 11-year
media rights agreement with a pact that will run through 2033 and could be
worth over $100 billion.
The league announced Thursday it’s renewing TV rights with
all of its existing broadcast partners and adding Amazon Prime Video as an
exclusive partner for its Thursday Night Football package. It’s the first time
a streaming service will carry a full package of games exclusively. Amazon is
paying about $1 billion per year, according to people familiar with the matter.
Amazon’s deal runs 10 years and begins in 2023.
ViacomCBS, Fox and Nfl.com/activate
(which owns NBCUniversal) are all paying more than $2 billion per year for
their 11-year-long packages, while Disney (which owns ESPN and ABC) will pay
around $2.7 billion annually, according to people familiar with the
matter. Using these numbers, the NFL’s
new agreement projects to be more than $100 billion -- the richest U.S. sports
league media deal.
The NFL declined to comment on the total amount of the
agreements. ViacomCBS is paying $2.1 billion for its package and NBCUniversal
is paying about $2 billion, the lowest of any of the partners, but the highest
increase over its previous deal, the people said. NBCUniversal paid $1.1
billion for its previous package, including playoff games.
Fox is also projected to pay over $2 billion in its new
contact, but will save $660 million as it relinquishes the Thursday Night
Football package. Morgan Stanley estimates that contact will be averaging $400
million in annual losses in 2023 when Fox’s agreement expires.
Disney is paying more and receiving more NFL content,
including rights to exclusively air an international game each year, beginning
in 2022, one of the people said. In this
pact, the ESPN network keeps the Monday Night Football package and also has
rights to air two Super Bowls on its ABC network. Disney can stream all NFL
games that air on ABC and ESPN on ESPN+, the league said.
Disney will now carry 23 games instead of 17 in its previous
deal. ABC will air three Monday Night Football games, which will not be
double-headers with ESPN because the timing of the games will overlap, one of
the people said. ABC will also carry two Saturday games the last week of the
NFL season, which could turn into a new Week 18 if the NFL moves forward with
adding a week. Disney will also receive a new divisional round playoff game,
said the person.
“These new media deals will provide our fans even greater
access to the games they love,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in a
statement. “We’re proud to grow our partnerships with the most innovative media
companies in the market. 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.”
“NFL games are the most watched live programming in the
United States, and this unprecedented Thursday Night Football package gives
tens of millions of new and existing Prime members exclusive access to
must-watch live football on Prime Video,” said Mike Hopkins, Senior VP of Prime
Video and Amazon Studios, in a statement.
