Developments
In August 2025, ESPN and the National Football League (NFL) reached a non-binding agreement for ESPN to acquire the NFL Network and certain other media assets owned and controlled by the NFL, including NFL’s RedZone Channel pay TV distribution and NFL Fantasy, in exchange for a 10% noncontrolling interest of ESPN. This planned transaction is subject to the parties entering into definitive agreements, regulatory and other approvals and other customary closing conditions. Upon consummation of this planned transaction, the Company would have an effective 72% interest in ESPN and retain majority board control, with Hearst and the NFL holding 18% and 10%, respectively.
