ESPN has been working toward a deal with the league for months, though it’s still unclear what NFL Media content will continue if a pact is reached.
It looks like ESPN is ready for even more football. The channel has been home to “Monday Night Football” since 2006, but it appears that ESPN is about to add a much greater selection of NFL content. A report from Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk indicates that the league is drawing close to an agreement with ESPN that will see the league gain an equity stake in the family of networks, and in exchange, ESPN will take over operations of NFL Network.
Key Details: ESPN and the NFL were reported to be in “advanced talks” for a deal in January. Disney has been seeking minority partners for ESPN, partially to help fund its future streaming ambitions. Having more NFL content could help...

NFL Network has canceled NFL Total Access after 21 years on the air, Deadline has learned.
Amid the major changes at the network, the football news show, which premiered in 2003 and airs on weeknights, was canceled.
“Like any successful organization, the NFL regularly evaluates its workforce to ensure the proper support of strategic priorities including international expansion, the growth of flag football, and the evolution of digital and media platforms,” an NFL spokesperson said in a statement. “We have made the difficult decision to part ways with some employees to allow us to further invest in these growth areas and ensure the continued strength of our game and the business.”
NFL Total Access’s most recent roster included Mike Yam, Kimmi Chex, David Carr, Michael Robinson and Chase Daniel. According to a report from The Athletic, the last show for NFL Total Access is set for May 17.

NFL Network is cutting ties with commentator Michal Irvin after 15 years, Deadline has learned. Irvin’s exit comes amid a major shakeup at the network.
The former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver had been at the network since 2009. Irvin made headlines when he was booted from NFL Network’s Super Bowl coverage in 2023 following a complaint from a woman as he checked into his hotel. Irvin denied wrongdoing and filed a defamation lawsuit alleging he was falsely accused.
After being taken off the air, Irvin returned to the network later that year at the start of the NFL season.

For the second straight summer, the NBCUniversal service will increase its subscription prices.
Since its launch on July 15, 2020, NBCUniversal’s Peacock has slowly, but steadily built itself into a solid streaming service, in part, by keeping its prices low. Over the course of its nearly four years, it has only increased its subscription price once, when it raised its monthly rates $1 and $2 respectively in honor of its third anniversary last July. Now, it appears that NBCU is making something of an annual tradition of the practice as on Monday, the company announced that it would again be raising prices in July.
Key Details: For the second straight July, Peacock is set to increase its prices on both subscription tiers. Over the course of one year, the price for the service’s ad-supported tier will increase from $4.99 to $7.99 and its ad-free option from $9.99 to $13.99. The platform will also stream every single event from the 2024 Paris Olympics,...

Veteran names like Palmer, Selva, Siciliano and Stark are out at NFL Media, which could soon fall under ESPN’s purview.
NFL players who get cut often cite the fact that the league is a business, first and foremost. This week, some high-profile NFL Network personalities found the same hard truth staring them in the face, as the league decided it was time to move on from Andrew Siciliano, Melissa Stark, James Palmer, and Will Selva. Normally these personnel cuts wouldn’t attract much more than well-wishes for the departing talent, but in this case, there is room to speculate that the moves are designed to help the NFL streamline its media operations in preparation for a big deal with Disney and ESPN.

The NFL is continuing its takeover of TV screens during the fall, and has announced a new game in Brazil that fans will only be able to stream on Peacock.
The NFL is no longer satisfied with dominating linear TV ratings. Streaming viewership is the next frontier for the league, and this week the NFL announced that it would be showing another game exclusively on Peacock in the 2024-25 season. The league also confirmed its Prime Video-exclusive NFL Wild Card game for the upcoming season, and took a shot across the NBA’s bow by announcing that it would schedule a Christmas game again this year, despite the holiday falling on a Wednesday.
Peacock will stream a Friday night game from São Paulo, Brazil during the opening week of the NFL season. The channel/platform that will be awarded this year’s Christmas game has not yet been announced. NBCUniversal...

A source recently told Et that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer are not officially dating.
Mum’s the word for Travis Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end kept tight-lipped and dodged questions about Taylor Swift during an NFL+ interview after he previously admitted to trying to give her his phone number on a friendship bracelet during her The Eras Tour stop in Kansas City, Missouri, earlier this year.
“The only thing anyone really wants to talk about is Taylor Swift,” host Andrew Siciliano asked Travis in a clip shared on TikTok. “Did you really have your phone number ready on a friendship bracelet to give to Taylor?”
Travis kept it coy in his response, playful replying: “I said what I said. And I meant what I said when I said it. And you know what, it is what it is. I’m not gonna talk about my personal life.
