The NFL and YouTube are finalizing a deal to air five regular-season games per year on the streaming service, Front Office Sports reported Thursday.
The league had extra inventory to sell with the elimination of 'Monday Night Football' doubleheaders, announced earlier this month.
Details about the cost and the duration of the YouTube deal were not immediately available, nor are the dates or any specifics about the games involved.
YouTube, which is owned by Google, signed a seven-year, $2 billion contract in 2023 to secure the rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket package.
Last season, YouTube aired the season-opening, prime-time matchup in Brazil between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs. The game averaged 19.7 million global viewers and 18.5 million in the United States, according to Nielsen.
The NFL declined to comment on the report and representatives from Google did not immediately respond to Front Office Sports.
