By GlobalDataEverPass has worked through 2025 to expand its offering, and earlier in September, agreed a digital-only deal with American football’s elite NFL before the start of the 2025 campaign.
These tie-ups include agreements with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Peacock, while the existing EverPass library of NFL rights also includes exclusive rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket game slot (featuring all Sunday afternoon out-of-market games shown by CBS or Fox).
Additional EverPass sports offerings – outside the NFL – include Peacock Sports Pass (featuring English soccer’s Premier League, Big Ten football, and basketball), and the UEFA Champions League via the Paramount+ streaming service.
Kaplan continued: “As we expand our lineup and continue building the most comprehensive sports offering in the market, EverPass is quickly becoming the go-to partner for commercial venues looking to create energy, drive foot traffic, and grow revenue through live sports.”
