NFL ‘Sunday Ticket’ Streaming is Coming to Bars and Restaurants This Season
The NFL is taking a major step forward in its streaming capabilities, as EverPass Media, the joint venture between the NFL and RedBird Capital Partners, has acquired UPshow, a marketing platform that allows live sports to be streamed at commercial establishments. This means that bars, restaurants, casinos, and other businesses will be able to stream ‘Sunday Ticket’ games, a package that provides all out-of-market NFL games.

In recent years, we’ve seen a trend towards exclusive streaming deals, with platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Google’s YouTube TV acquiring rights to live sports.
