NFL Network (occasionally abbreviated on-air as NFLN) is an American sports-oriented pay television network owned by NFL Media, a joint venture of ESPN (via ABC Inc.) and the NFL. Dedicated to American football, the network features game telecasts from the NFL, as well as NFL-related content including analysis programs, specials and documentaries.

The network is headquartered in the NFL Los Angeles building located next to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and broadcasts its worldwide feed from Encompass Digital Media (formerly Crawford Communications, and Broadcast Facilities Inc.) in Atlanta, Georgia. It has secondary East Coast facilities in the NFL Films building in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.

As of June 2023, NFL Network was available in 51.5 million television households in the United States, which was down from approximately 71.1 million households as of February 2015, as cord cutting continues to affect the industry.

In 2026, it was announced that the network was one of the NFL media assets whose acquisition by ESPN, Inc. was completed following regulatory approval in the U.S.
