消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，美国联邦政府正在调查美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL），原因是该联盟将赛事同时授权给多个平台——包括付费流媒体平台、付费有线电视网络等——的做法被指损害消费者权益。
一位了解此事的政府官员表示，此次调查旨在保障消费者的负担能力，并为行业提供商打造“公平竞争环境”。《华尔街日报》率先报道了美国司法部对NFL展开调查的消息。
NFL在一份声明中表示，其媒体分发模式是“整个体育和娱乐行业中最有利于球迷和转播商的模式”，并指出其87%的赛事都在广播电视平台播出，“包括对阵球队所在市场的全部赛事”。
“2025赛季是我们自1989年以来收视人数最多的赛季，这体现了NFL分发模式的实力以及所有球迷都能广泛收看赛事的特点，”NFL说道。
此次调查开展之际，NFL正与哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的母公司派拉蒙天空动画（Paramount Skydance）重启谈判。根据现有电视转播合同中的条款，如果合作转播商被新东家收购，联盟有权重新商谈媒体转播权协议。据CNBC报道，NFL正寻求从派拉蒙天空动画处每个赛季多获得10亿美元，以便该电视台能持续转播赛事至2033-34赛季。
NFL的转播商，尤以福克斯广播公司最为突出，此前已表达担忧，称NFL将赛事分散到过多流媒体平台，可能会让球迷观看比赛的成本过高，且令人困惑。《华尔街日报》近期的一篇社论（该报同样为福克斯母公司鲁珀特·默多克所有）也指出，联盟将赛事内容分散到如此多平台的做法，可能违反了其反垄断豁免权。
参议院司法委员会反垄断、竞争政策与消费者权利小组委员会主席、共和党参议员迈克·李表示，他“很高兴他们着手处理此事”。
“1961年，国会通过了《体育广播法》，授予有限的反垄断豁免权，允许职业橄榄球队集体将赛事的‘赞助转播’授权给全国广播电视网络，”李说道。“……如果集体授权的赛事转播套餐被置于订阅付费墙之后，这些安排可能就不再符合法定的‘赞助转播’概念，也不再符合反垄断豁免权背后的消费者可及性初衷。”
Justice Department investigating NFL over games on paid platforms, sources say

The National Football League is being investigated by the federal government for practices that allegedly harm consumers for licensing games simultaneously to multiple platforms — paid streaming platforms, paid cable networks, and others, sources told CBS News.
A government official familiar with the matter said the probe is about affordability for consumers and creating an “even playing field for providers.” The Wall Street Journal first reported that the DOJ opened an investigation into the NFL.
The NFL said in a statement that its media distribution model is the “most fan and broadcaster-friendly in the entire sports and entertainment industry,” and noted that 87% of its games are available on broadcast television, “including 100% of games in the markets of the competing teams.”
“The 2025 season was our most viewed since 1989 and reflects the strength of the NFL distribution model and its wide availability to all fans,” the NFL said.
The investigation comes as the NFL has reopened negotiations with Paramount Skydance, the parent company of CBS News, which owns the rights to broadcast NFL games on Sunday afternoons during the season. Exercising a clause in the existing TV rights contracts that allows the league to reopen a media rights deal if a partner broadcaster is purchased by a new owner, CNBC reports the NFL is seeking as much as $1 billion more per season from Paramount Skydance so the network can continue broadcasting games through the 2033-34 season.
NFL broadcasters, most notably Fox, have voiced concerns the NFL is spreading its games across too many streaming services and could make watching games prohibitively expensive — and confusing — for football fans. A recent editorial by The Wall Street Journal, also owned by Fox’s owner Rupert Murdoch, argued the league might be violating its antitrust exemptions by spreading out its content across so many platforms.
Republican Sen. Mike Lee, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights, said he’s “glad they’re tackling this.”
“In 1961, Congress enacted the Sports Broadcasting Act, granting limited antitrust immunity to allow professional football teams to collectively license the ‘sponsored telecasts’ of their games to national broadcast networks,” Lee said. “… To the extent collectively licensed game packages are placed behind subscription paywalls, these arrangements may no longer align with the statutory concept of sponsored telecasting or the consumer-access rationale underlying the antitrust exemption.”
