Recently, the largest digital video service platform in China Iqiyi has announced a partnership with CAFL. Iqiyi will exclusively broadcast all the 18 games for six weeks. This is the first time for Iqiyi to sign a strategic partnership deal with the first and only American Football team in China. It will play a significant role in promoting American football in the country.
