Fox NFL rights deal Lachlan Murdoch 2029 contract media partnership

Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch told investors that the network will not amend its existing contract with the National Football League before the 2030 season, keeping the agreement in place through the end of the 2029 season. He said the decision follows recent discussions with the league but offered no details on the talks. Murdoch also noted that Fox has recently added NFL rights for Mexico and highlighted the company's success in broadcasting events such as the World Cup.
