News Summary:

On August 6, 2026, Fox affirmed it will maintain its current NFL media rights agreement unchanged, resisting the league's push for higher fees and declining to reopen existing contracts before the 2030 opt-out window. CEO Lachlan Murdoch stated during an earnings conference call that Fox will not renegotiate its deal with the league prior to the 2030 opt-out clause, despite preliminary discussions where the NFL had explored eliminating the clause and raising live rights costs. Previously, on August 5, Jameson entered a multi-year partnership with the NFL, becoming the league's official spirits sponsor. The agreement positions the Pernod Ricard whiskey brand as the official spirits partner for the most-watched sport in the U.S. On the same day, the UFL announced that wide receivers Elijah Cooks and Roc Taylor signed with the Carolina Panthers following tryouts, raising the total number of UFL alumni signed to NFL contracts in 2026 to 35 players.
