The National Football Leagueis in “advanced talks” with ESPN to gain an equity stake in the cable network, according to media reports. In return, ESPN would control NFL Media, including the NFL Network, RedZone, NFL.com, NFL Films and NFL+. ESPN and NFL representatives declined to comment.

While the NFL has been publicly searching for a strategic partner for the last two years to help with distribution of its programming, they are not believed to be looking to sell the NFL Network. The NFL has had talks with multiple potential partners.
