The Detroit Lions open their season on Sunday, Sept. 7, with a matchup against the Green Bay Packers that airs on CBS, but their following game (Sunday, Sept. 14 against the Chicago Bears) is scheduled to be on Fox. Those with YouTube TV would not be able to watch the game if a deal was not agreed to.

At 5:02 p.m. ET on Wednesday, just minutes after the deadline, YouTube TV confirmed via social media that a “short-term extension” had been reached with FOX. The update assured customers there would be no immediate loss of service.
