History

Historical Context

On October 22 1939 NBC aired the NFL’s first televised game, the Brooklyn Dodgers beating the Philadelphia Eagles to roughly 1,000 New York homes. After World II regular broadcasts began and later multi-network contracts expanded coverage, the league’s early TV experiment evolved into today’s multi-platform streams, such as the Eagles’ preseason finale on Paramount+ and Sirius XM.
