News Summary:

On July 9, 2026, data from S&P Global Market Intelligence indicated that NFL viewership continues to heavily rely on traditional broadcast television, casual viewing habits, and physical game attendance, rather than streaming, even as World Cup football concludes. Earlier, on July 7, Extreme Networks, the NFL, and Oakley launched "Bond's Extreme Journey," a 10,000-mile cycling expedition to all 30 NFL stadiums, celebrating America's 250th birthday and the power of connection. The NFL also announced a major change to its offseason schedule, impacting the free agency period, a traditionally significant news-making stretch between the NFL Combine and the start of free agency. This followed the July 6 announcement by Disney, the NFL, and Champion of a "Disney Fan Draft" event at this year’s Fanatics Fest in New York City, which included Commissioner Roger Goodell in a promotional video with Mickey Mouse.
