JAY-Z and Roc Nation have officially extended their deal with the NFL.

Bloomberg reported that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed the extended partnership during the league’s annual owners meeting in Atlanta.

Goodell detailed the working relationship with Hov and Roc Nation as “mutually positive”.

As for the finer details regarding the contract, the money and its worth are currently unknown.

ESPN reported that the first deal between Roc Nation and the NFL struck in 2019 was worth $25 million.

The initial deal was built on boosting “the NFL’s efforts around social justice” and to leading “the league’s endeavours in music and entertainment.”

Since Roc Nation began handling the Super Bowl Halftime Show, the show has seen quite a bit of success.

For example, the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show, which featured Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J. Blige, pulled in 103.4 million viewers.

The number drastically increased from the 96.7 million viewers who watched the product last year. Rihanna headlined the show in 2023, becoming one of the most-watched halftime shows of all time, with 118.7 million viewers.
