Amazon To Get Exclusive NFL Games as Part of New Streaming Deal
The National Football League is giving Amazon exclusive rights to live games for the first time, marking a deeper push by streaming services into sports. From a report: The league announced Wednesday that it would select a Saturday game in the coming season and give Amazon the sole rights to show it outside of the two teams' home markets. The NFL schedules a handful of Saturday games late in its season, when college football's regular season is over. Amazon will also have an exclusive game in 2021 and 2022. It's part of a new three-year extension of the Thursday-night partnership between the tech giant and the world's richest sports league. Amazon and its Twitch platform will continue to have nonexclusive rights to 11 Thursday-night games a season through 2022. Those games, which are also televised on Fox and the NFL Network, will be available to Amazon Prime subscribers in more than 200 countries and territories.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
