NFL Plans to Choose a New Sunday Ticket Partner by Fall
The National Football League plans to select a streaming service as its new Sunday Ticket partner and will choose a winner by the fall, Commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday.
“I clearly believe we’ll be moving to a streaming service,” Goodell told CNBC’s Julia Boorstin in an exclusive interview at the Allen & Co. Sun Valley conference in Idaho. “I think that’s best for consumers at this stage.”
Apple, Amazon and Disney, which owns ESPN+, have all submitted bids to be the league’s exclusive Sunday Ticket distributor, CNBC reported last month. Goodell confirmed discussions have been going on for more than a year to find a new partner to replace DirecTV, whose contract with the league ends after this season.
