The NFL's opening weekend will feature a Friday night game in Brazil for the second consecutive season, with TV rights still pending. YouTube, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Amazon have shown interest in broadcasting the game, with YouTube being considered a top contender according to Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal. Last year, the game was streamed on Peacock, and this year's agreement may involve a Week 17 game.
The NFL is permitted to play on the opening Friday of the season when it falls on the first Friday of September due to the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1960. This act prohibits broadcasting games on Friday night or Saturday from the second weekend of September through the second weekend of December. The Chargers will host this year's game in Brazil, but the opposing team has not yet been revealed. The event is part of NBCUniversal.
