Never understood why the nfl doesn’t stream Sunday ticket themselves
Offer a team pkg for your favorite team that’s reasonable. A pkg of a handful of teams and a league pkg
Cut out the middle man, open it up to more viewers
The only downside is the loss of tv contracts but having everyone available would surely out weigh what you’d lose in tv contracts
I don't think they want to get into the broadcast business.
They can barely manage to NFL Game Pass.
- The interface is not good.
Also, the networks are like a bank in that they pay money upfront and well in advance.
Making money direct selling via streaming would require waiting until people purchase the games.
Check my math/logic on the following:
16 total games per week when no teams have byes.
Most weeks:
1 Monday Night game
1 Thursday Night game
1 Sunday Night Game
That leaves about 13 games per week that air on Sunday during the day.
There are only 2 networks each airing 2 games during the day on Sunday for a total of 4.
That leaves 9 (13 minus 4) games that any fan can't see in his local area for free.
Side Note: The 2019 NFL schedule shows week 17 to have ALL 16 games to be on Fox or CBS.
The Bye Weeks help a little by spreading it out over 17 weeks:
- 16 weeks x 2 networks x 2 times slots = 64 games aired per market per season
- 17 weeks x 2 networks x 2 times slots = 68 games aired per market per season
