An official announcement of this partnership is expected for the coming week, especially since the so -called “Upfronts” will take place in the USA. In the week, the TV stations present their program highlights of the upcoming TV season. Accordingly, all networks will announce their highlight NFL games of the year in the course of the week before the official schedule of the schedule on Thursday (2 a.m. CET).
What Google will pay for the Brazil game is still unclear. However, there is already a collaboration between the NFL and Google via the TV platform “YouTube TV”, through which you can move into the “Sunday Ticket” in the USA, with which all games can be seen in the two early Sunday-time slots.
This deal costs Google around $ 14 billion over seven years. Last year the game in São Paulo ran between the Eagles and Packers (34:29) at the streamer “Peacock” from NBC Universal. This service paid for around $ 105 million for this one game, which was only shown there in the United States.
