National Football League

The National Football League (NFL) is the governing body of professional American football in the United States, comprising 32 member teams. Its operations span professional sports operations, digital media, media distribution and broadcasting, and player development programmes. For creative professionals, the league's principal output is content: national and international distribution and media partnerships, together with a substantial digital media presence, carry NFL programming to audiences across the United States and abroad.

Alongside live competition, the league produces NFL media and digital content, distributed through those national and international partnerships and its own digital channels, reaching audiences on both a national and international scale. Games are played in venues such as Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, as part of the NFL season. The league is also active in community programmes and in efforts to extend its reach internationally.

Geographic presence covers the United States through NFL distribution and international markets via the league's international expansion and distribution activities. Industry verticals include professional sports, American football, sports entertainment, and media and broadcasting. The organisation describes its culture in terms of a passionate fan base, a legacy of competitive play, participation in community programmes, a commitment to player development, and engagement in international expansion.
