NFL game scheduling for TV is changing for the 2025 season, and as I am paywalled as might be you, here’s also the free copy.

Of course whatever happens to the feed on US TV carries over to your options in Canada.

  • The league is entering the third season of 11-year, $110 billion media-rights deals that didn’t include traditional requirements for CBS and Fox airing a certain number of AFC and NFC games, respectively.

In the last part of the article are more tea leaves for what we already know - more games as streaming exclusives, including Netflix and of course what we already have via Amazon on Thursday nights.

Oh well, I am not fan of streaming-only options, but at least we can hope they don’t regress to the trash that is Peacock or ESPN+, which the NFL did move away from in 2024 after a game in week one on Peacock aired from Brazil, so as to throw for the road I figure to those bojacks at Comcast and their homers here in Philadelphia, where they still operate the regional sports network NBC Sports Network that has always sucked even when people did pay for cable.
