NFL Antitrust Class Action Results in $4.8 Billion Jury Verdict

Central District of California

DRC supported plaintiffs’ counsel in a landmark antitrust class action against the National Football League and its member teams. The plaintiffs alleged that longstanding league agreements limited competition and suppressed viewership options for millions of fans nationwide. After a multi‑week federal trial, a jury found that the defendants had violated antitrust laws by restricting access to out‑of‑market games through a single subscription package sold at a premium price. The jury returned a verdict that awarded the largest damages amount ever in an antitrust trial, representing a sweeping win for the class and a significant rebuke of the challenged market structure. DRC assisted the trial team with jury focus group research, jury selection, demonstrative aids, and at-trial strategic guidance.
