“New Media Contracts”: The contracts (or portions thereof) for television rights entered into after the 2020 League Year for the 2020 League Year or beyond sold or licensed either nationally or packaged on a regional basis for the telecast or broadcast of live or near-live transmission of entire or near-entire NFL games (but not highlights) on broadcast, cable, satellite, internet, or other media (but not for up to seventeen regular season games telecast or broadcast by the NFL Network) substantially similar in scope to such rights for up to a 17-game season in the contracts from which the Current Average described above is derived. The same allocations from the parties’ February 8, 2018 side letter agreement will apply to the determination of the value of the New Media Contracts. The NFL has committed to negotiate at least one New Media Contract for the 2021 League Year should the NFL elect to have a seventeen-game regular season in the 2021 League Year.
