(Kamil Krzaczynski | AP)Ever since the NFL announced it was looking to sell NFL Network and other media assets, ESPN had been seen as one of the favorites to make a deal. Along with the sale of NFL Network, the NFL and ESPN will have a second nonbinding agreement where the NFL will license to ESPN certain NFL content and other intellectual property that can be used by NFL Network and other assets that have been purchased. NFL Fantasy Football would merge with ESPN Fantasy Football, giving ESPN the official fantasy football game of the league. Four of ESPN’s games, including some that are in overlapping windows on Monday nights, would move to NFL Network. NFL Network moved to a broadcast facility across the street from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in 2021.
