The deal marks the first time the NFL has partnered with a social media platform, and the partnership includes an exclusive sponsorship for Super Bowl XLVIII.

“Having access to this type of highly coveted content on Twitter will not only offer our users a unique programming schedule which will deepen their engagement with our platform but will also provide our sponsors with a value proposition that few other partners can bring to the table,” said Adam Bain, president of Global Revenue for Twitter.
