The league announced their new broadcast contracts last week – a mind-boggling 11-year, $113 billion agreement that includes streaming rights for Amazon. Starting in 2023 (and possibly before that depending on whether Fox agrees to terminate their agreement before then) Jeff Bezos' Amazon company will be streaming the entire 15-game Thursday night package of NFL games for $1.2 billion per season.
A couple other interesting nuggets from the record-setting rights deals include plans for Week 18 Saturday doubleheader on ESPN/ABC that will be determined following the completion of Week 17 action. That arrangement might not start until 2023, but it could be sooner as well. There also will be a mechanism for flex scheduling for Monday night games coming soon.
Also, the games will no longer be aired by conference. Instead of the traditional AFC/CBS and NFC/Fox marriages that have been in place for almost three decades, starting in 2023 the games will be aired solely with the idea of generating the best ratings possible. If that means AFC games are shown on both Fox and CBS on a given Sunday, so be it.
