Introduction
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world. The NFL was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself the National Football League for the 1922 season.
Television contracts with CBS, NBC, and FOXare worth a combined $3.73 billion per year through 2022. ABC entered into a five-year contract with the NFL in 2019 worth $1.9 billion per year, to televise Monday Night Football games nationally. ESPN pays $2.25 billion per year to air 15 regular-season primetime games on Monday nights (along with one wild card playoff game), as well as various other post-season games; ESPN2 airs a Tuesday night game during the first half of the season, while ESPN airs a Saturday night game during the NFL’s preseason. Amazon Prime Video has acquired global digital rights (excluding U.S., Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands) to Thursday Night Football for four seasons starting from 2022 for an undisclosed amount; these games are simulcast on over-the-air channels in each respective market of each team involved in each particular Thursday night game if any such local over-the-air broadcast partner exists at that time for that market, which Amazon then produces special digital content around each simulcast game telecast on its Prime Video service related to that particular Thursday night game’s local market team(s).
