NFL closing in on new TV, streaming deals, paving way for 17-game season Mark Maske, Ben Strauss and Jay Greene, The Washington Post March 4, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail The NFL is working toward completing lucrative new television contracts with CBS, Fox, NBC and Disney-owned ESPN and ABC while also negotiating a streaming deal with Amazon that could include some Thursday night games that would not be carried on national TV, according to people with knowledge of the negotiations. The new broadcasting and streaming deals, if completed, would reinforce the NFL's position as the nation's most prosperous pro sport and keep the coffers of its 32 teams filled for the foreseeable future. Teams share equally in the media revenue, estimated to be about $10 billion per year. That figure would increase significantly with the completion of these deals.
