The National Football League (NFL) has announced that four games, previously included in the now-discontinued Monday night doubleheaders, will be split between YouTube and Netflix under a new streaming deal.
According to Alex Sherman of CNBC, via Drew Lerner of Awful Announcing, the games will be distributed across the two platforms. This development follows a recent report from FOS indicating that YouTube is in negotiations for a five-game package with the NFL.
The NFL issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) earlier this year, offering broadcasters a selection of potential games from which they could bid on five matchups. Among the games under consideration for streaming are:
- The Week 1 49ers vs. Rams contest in Australia
- A game scheduled for Thanksgiving Eve
- A second Black Friday game
The league is actively exploring additional standalone streaming windows, with flexibility in scheduling. Streamers, including YouTube and Netflix, are particularly interested in high-profile events, whether they are existing games on the NFL schedule or newly created matchups.
For example, with Veterans Day (November 11) falling on a Wednesday this year, the NFL is considering the possibility of scheduling a game that evening. The league is open to innovative scheduling to capitalize on premium streaming opportunities.
