National Football League
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football association based in New York City. The NFL comprises 32 clubs divided among two conferences, which itself is split among eight divisions.
Telecast rights to NFL games are held by the Walt Disney Company (ESPN, ABC), Comcast Corporation (NBC), Paramount Global (CBS), Fox Corporation and Amazon’s Prime Video. National radio broadcasts are offered by Cumulus Radio’s Westwood One.
The NFL also distributes games through its own standalone streaming app called NFL Plus, with out-of-market games aired on CBS and Fox affiliates available through YouTube’s NFL Sunday Ticket package.
