National Football League, also known as NFL, is a privately owned entity headquartered in the US. Founded in 1920, the league has approximately 4,060 employees and reported $23.0B in revenue as of 2024. Functioning primarily in spectator sports, the National Football League operates as a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams. These teams are divided equally between the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). The NFL is positioned as a major professional sports league in the United States and Canada and represents the highest professional level of American football globally.
On March 21, 2026, sports agent Leigh Steinberg, who has represented over 300 professional athletes, advocated for NFL teams to adopt a more "forward-thinking" approach to ticket distribution, considering the growing impact of streaming on the home viewing experience for games. Previously, on March 20, NFL owners were reportedly scheduled to vote the following week on a succession plan for the Las Vegas Raiders. This plan would grant Silver Lake co-chief executive officer Egon Durban the option to acquire a majority stake from longtime owner Mark Davis. Earlier the same day, the Cleveland Browns submitted a proposal to the league to allow franchises to trade draft picks up to five years in advance, an expansion from the current three-year limitation.
