Microsoft and the NFL announced a multiyear extension of their partnership to bring real-time analysis to the sidelines using Microsoft Copilot and Azure AI.

Microsoft is extending its longtime partnership with the National Football League, integrating AI and cloud tools into assorted workflows from the sidelines to front offices to stadium operations.

As part of a multiyear extension of their longstanding sponsorship -- which was formally signed months ago -- the NFL will layer artificial intelligence solutions from Microsoft into multiple league workflows this season.
