The NFL/ESPN (Disney) deal announced Aug 5, 2025 was described as a non-binding agreement that still required definitive documents + approvals/closing conditions.

Even after NFL owners approved the deal (Oct 22, 2025), reporting emphasized a potentially lengthy antitrust review with no close date given.

Reuters reported the deal was likely to face DOJ antitrust scrutiny and that review could take up to about a year.

The Washington Post explicitly said the deal was nonbinding and was expected to be finalized by late 2026.https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/08/05/nfl-espn-deal-redzone-equity-stake/

@10thOfficial Could you confirm whether regulatory approval for the deal is necessary for this market to resolve yes?
