Roger Goodell Says NFL Could Look to Rengotiate Broadcast Contracts as Soon as 2026

Even though the NFL’s current media rights deals don’t expire until after the 2029 season at the earliest, commissioner Roger Goodell says the league could go back to the negotiating table at some point next year.

Speaking to CNBC’s Alex Sherman, Goodell said a renegotiation with its media partners “could happen as early as” 2026.

“I think our partners would want to sit down and talk to us at any time, and we continue to dialogue with them. I like that opportunity,” Goodell said. “Obviously it’s not going to happen this year. But it could happen as early as next year. That could happen.”
