NFL deals Red Zone, NFL Media assets to ESPN in billion-dollar agreement, the Athletic reports
(Reuters) -The NFL and Disney's ESPN have reached a deal, potentially worth billions, placing many of the league's media holdings with the sports network in exchange for equity in ESPN, the Athletic reported on Friday. ESPN is expected to have access to RedZone, NFL Network, seven more regular-season games and the NFL's fantasy football business, the report said, citing sources briefed on the agreement. There is also a possibility of integrating special features, including betting, and potentially more assets too. The four-year on-and-off discussions have led to what is said to be a complicated agreement, the Athletic report said. An official announcement is expected next week. Disney is set to report results on Wednesday. ESPN declined to comment while the NFL did not immediately respond when contacted by Reuters. The news of the deal comes as Disney is set to launch its new streaming service, named ESPN, this fall, providing access to ESPN networks, including professional and college football and basketball games. The new service will cost $29.99 per month and is part of the media company's effort to tap sports fans who have never subscribed to traditional television.

ESPN obtains RedZone, other media assets from NFL in blockbuster deal, per report
In one of the biggest media deals this century, ESPN and the National Football League agreed to a deal that will send popular entities such as RedZone over to the network, according to The Athletic. The deal, according to the report, could be worth billions and is expected to be formally announced next week. ESPN is gearing to start its direct-to-consumer service within weeks, which consumers are expected to pay nearly $30 a month, allowing buyers to cut cable subscriptions even further as people have more choices than ever in how they consume content featuring the nation's most popular and attended spectator sport. The network is expected to absorb the aforementioned RedZone, NFL Network, headquartered in Culver City, California, and to take on its slate of games this season as well as the league's popular fantasy football franchises. It is not expected that NFL Films is part of the deal, but the league is likely to take a 10% stake in the majority Disney-owned ESPN. The league is currently in an 11-year, $111 billion media rights deal with Amazon, CBS, ESPN, Fox, and NBC, which is set to expire in 2033. The deal still needs to be approved by government regulators, but is expected to be done in plenty of time for the network to gear up for its Super Bowl 61 coverage. The game is set for February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The game is to be aired by ABC, another Disney-owned property.

Your NFL Sundays are about to change — ESPN is reportedly acquiring RedZone and NFL Network
The NFL is one of the most lucrative properties in the entertainment space, regularly garnering millions of views for a single game. In a deal reported by The New York Times, the Disney-owned sports network would relinquish equity potentially worth billions to the NFL in exchange for the NFL Network and RedZone (the channel that allows you to watch all live games simultaneously). And while the two properties are the meat of the deal, the side dishes are some pretty substantial content for ESPN to sink its teeth into. When all is said in done, NYT is reporting that ESPN will get NFL Network, RedZone, seven additional regular season game broadcasts (a fairly sizable number when you consider how short the NFL season is relative to other sports), the NFL's fantasy football business, special feature integration (like bettering) and possibly other assets. That's a huge chunk of the NFL's in-house content. However, it also shifts the workload of managing all that content to ESPN, allowing the NFL to focus on football. The NFL gets money. Well, not cash in this case, but equity in ESPN. According to a previous CNBC report, the NFL could get as much as 10% ownership of ESPN. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. With significant developments on the horizon for ESPN, including the reported launch of its standalone streaming service and app, this is an ideal time for a business entity like the NFL to take ownership of the largest sports broadcaster on the market. Big companies are exchanging billions of dollars. It happens all the time. What does it mean for you, the consumer who just wants to watch their favorite NFL teams every week? That's where things become a little murkier. We've heard that ESPN intends to launch its standalone streaming service and app for around $30 per month. Rumors have also said it'll launch over the next couple of weeks, which is conveniently before the start of the NFL regular season. If you're a cable holdout still paying for traditional cable services, you'll have access to the new ESPN App and all the goodies that come with it. That means nothing should change for you regardless of where the NFL Network and RedZone land. For everyone else, this deal might force football fans to join ESPN, as it could be the only way to watch several football games throughout the season and the beloved RedZone, which allows fans to watch all the games during those peak Sunday times. That is, of course, exactly why Disney is willing to part with up to 10% of its ESPN equity — your viewing attention (and $30 per month) is far more valuable to Disney. The big question is when this will happen. Will the deal be finalized and implemented before the start of this NFL season? Will it happen at some point during the season, potentially confusing fans, or will it have to wait until next season? We should find out in the coming weeks when Disney, ESPN and the NFL end the speculation.
