\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to continue our long-term partnership with the NFL to broadcast the most popular sport in the US to passionate Australians, live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport,\u201d Seven\u2019s commercial director of sport Renee Quirk said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we first brought the NFL to Australian free-to-air audiences in 2014, it\u2019s been a key pillar of our sport offering, and we\u2019re excited to take it even further.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership reaffirms our strategy to deliver live coverage of the world\u2019s biggest sporting events across the screens of Seven and 7plus Sport and the NFL continues to be a huge part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
