Amazon has taken possession of the NFL ball and, for the first time, will exclusively stream a Wild Card playoff game next season via its Prime Video service, according to The Wall Street Journal.

There's several more articles out there, but none that I've seen give any details on what Amazon paid.

Team exclusive PPV packages are coming. Don’t know when and where but it’s just a matter of time. 
 

“Subscribe to the 2028 Panthers exclusively broadcasted on Hulu. Only $75 for access.”

I am all for a team exclusive package. Team splits would be interesting with Cowboys and Steelers probably dominating in subs.

I bet you a permaban that it doesn’t happen in the next 3 years.

It won’t happen.  It’s been covered with quotes from the NFL here in the past as to why

Not gonna happen. Not with how league revenue sharing is setup. It wouldn't take long at all for the owners of the more popular teams to start demanding their fair share of the revenue split and the league knows it. The least popular teams might honestly struggle to remain profitable.

For those curious: this is not an additional streaming playoff game for the schedule.

Amazon is taking the one streaming game that was on Peacock this year as their own next year due to a clause in their contract (per WSJ)

Current tv contracts expire in 2033.

If anything were to happen for a per-team package, that's when it would be reviewed/considered

The only way the $ would work would be for all teams to get an even cut of the individual packages. So if the Cowboys have 99 subs and the Chargers just 1 sub, they both would split the rev share amount 50/50.  Can't see the cowboys agreeing to that dilution

I just canceled Prime because they added commercials and it doesn’t really seem to matter for shipping anymore. Unless it’s a Panthers game, I’ll just miss it.

If you live in the panthers viewing area, it will be aired locally

Same. I can order $35 for the free shipping if I need anything.
