Amazon is also said to have made a bid for NFL Sunday Ticket rights. DirecTV has owned these rights for nearly 30 years, and the final football season of streaming has been difficult for fans. On opening weekend, the company’s website and app crashed, and subscribers reported problems in the weeks that followed. Disney, ESPN’s parent company, has also made a bid for Sunday Ticket, as has Apple, which has begun airing Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV Plus.
