For the second straight season, the NFL’s opening weekend will feature a Friday night game in Brazil. The TV rights for the game have not yet been awarded.
Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal reports that YouTube, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Amazon are interested in the game. YouTube, per Fischer, is regarded by some to be the favorite.
Last year, the game streamed on Peacock. This year’s deal could include a Week 17 game.
The NFL is able to play on the opening Friday of the season when it lands on the first Friday in September.
