Ready to watch the calendar of the season released by NFL Network? Not if you have AT & T DirecTV Now or U-Verse | Technology

But in addition to the announcement of the program on NFL Network, the chain, which belongs to the league, has a non-exclusive coverage of the NFL project scheduled for April 25 to 27.

Even if DirecTV's satellite viewers with NFL Network (available for those with the Choice and higher package) and RedZone (included with NFL Sunday Ticket Max) will not be affected, it is possible that this disruption is a collateral damage to a battle much more potential between AT & T and the NFL.

In an interview with Bloomberg on March 22, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said DirecTV's long-standing rights over the Sunday Ticket bouquet of television broadcasts of games outside the city may well end after this season.

"We have good discussions with DirecTV and AT & T," Goodell told Bloomberg. "We have a 25-year partnership and we want to continue this partnership, but we're also looking at how we can change delivery, and we want it to be delivered on several different platforms."

This suggested that the NFL would be splitting its Sunday Ticket rights between, for example, a traditional point of sale like DirecTV and an online service.
