今年2月，美国联邦通信委员会表示，正在审查体育赛事直播从广播电视网络转向付费电视和订阅服务的日益增长的趋势。
美国国家橄榄球联盟曾表示，其87%以上的比赛通过免费广播电视播出，且所有参赛球队所在市场的比赛均通过免费广播电视播出。
据Semafor记者在社交媒体平台X上透露，司法部一直在调查美国国家橄榄球联盟将电视转播权转向流媒体平台是否违反反垄断法。
美国联邦通信委员会称，去年美国国家橄榄球联盟的比赛在10个不同平台播出，并援引估算数据称，观众若想观看所有比赛，需花费超过1500美元。

In February, the Federal Communications Commission said it was reviewing the growing shift of live sports to pay TV and subscription services away from broadcast networks.
The NFL has said more than 87% of its games are aired on free broadcast TV and that all games are aired on free broadcast television in markets of participating teams.
The DOJ has been probing whether the NFL is violating antitrust law by moving TV rights behind streamers, a Semafor reporter said on social media platform X.
The FCC said that last year, NFL games aired on 10 different services and cited estimates that it could cost a consumer more than $1,500 to watch all games.
