The NFL's move into streaming is continuing.
Amazon Prime airs a Thursday Night Football game every week during the regular season. Netflix, meanwhile, has added games on Christmas. Peacock has even gotten a playoff game.
More games are moving to streaming.
According to a report, four NFL regular season games are likely going to be moved to YouTube TV. The streaming giant is the favorite to land the four-game NFL regular season package.

According to a report from Austin Karp and Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, YouTube is the favorite to land a four-game package.
"YouTube is negotiating with the NFL to acquire rights to the four games the league kept as part of its ESPN equity deal, but a number of parties remain interested in the package, sources tell SBJ. It's unknown what that mix of games would be. Sources added that there have been "lots of inbound" to the NFL on the four-game package, which could come with a short-term shelf life as the league figures out its broader, long-term media strategy," the outlet reported.
"Both YouTube and the NFL declined to comment."
YouTube has aired NFL games in the past, including last season's opener between the Chiefs and the Packers, which drew nearly 20 million viewers.
While the NFL Network will remain the home of most international games, YouTube could be an ideal partner for several.
It sounds like YouTube will be getting more NFL games moving forward.
