NFL extends with Austrian broadcast partner

Austrian commercial broadcaster Puls 4 has agreed a three-year extension to its rights deal with American football league the NFL.

The agreement, spanning the 2015-16 to 2017-18 NFL seasons, will result in an increase in live games on Puls 4.

From the forthcoming campaign, Puls 4 will broadcast 30 games per season live.

New features of the rights deal include two of the NFL’s International Series games at Wembley Stadium in London, as well as an additional six playoff games. This means that Puls 4 will broadcast the entire post-season schedule in Austria.
