Netflix reaches multiyear deal for commercial NFL game distribution

Netflix has signed a multiyear agreement with EverPass Media to distribute its expanding slate of NFL programming to commercial establishments. The deal ensures that bars, restaurants, and other commercial venues can show the streaming service’s games, which include the 49ers-Rams matchup in Australia and holiday broadcasts. The package covers the NFL Honors awards program, Thanksgiving Eve programming, and a late-season game with playoff implications. DirecTV for Business will continue to facilitate the marketing and distribution of this content alongside EverPass. As part of a separate transaction, DAZN is in the process of acquiring EverPass, with plans to rebrand the platform as DAZN for Business pending regulatory approval. This arrangement mirrors existing partnerships between EverPass and other major sports streaming providers.
