Overview
- Fox, which disclosed Monday on its earnings call, bought two 2026 regular-season games: a Week 10 international matchup in Munich and a Week 15 Saturday game.
- The Munich kickoff will air in the U.S. morning before Fox’s usual early and late Sunday windows, creating the first NFL tripleheader on broadcast TV.
- CEO Lachlan Murdoch said there is no tension with the NFL and that Fox has had no substantive talks to renegotiate its rights, which have four years remaining.
- Industry reporting indicates these games come from a five‑game slate the NFL re‑marketed after reclaiming ESPN inventory, with Netflix taking three after YouTube balked at sharing.
- The move comes as the DOJ and FCC review paywalled sports deals, with President Trump criticizing added fan costs and the NFL noting that most games still air free over broadcast.
