    6 days ago | nytimes.com | Andrew Marchand

    Google YouTube has emerged as the heavy favorite to stream its first exclusive NFL game on Friday of the opening week, sources briefed on the discussions told The Athletic on Thursday. The deal would represent another landmark agreement between the league and a behemoth digital platform that is redefining how fans watch games. However, this partnership would be different from the agreements with Amazon and Netflix, as it is anticipated not to be tied to any paid subscription.
