Now the NFL has a Plus subscription streaming package. For just under $5 per month, you can pay to watch live local or national broadcast games on a mobile ...

Last November, Amazon struck a deal with the NFL for the exclusive rights to Thursday Night Football, beginning with the 2023 season. DirecTV currently has the rights to Sunday Ticket, but this will expire at the end of this year’s football season. The NFL has long partnered with Verizon to allow its customers to stream live games from their mobile devices and later extended those rights to any mobile carrier. This means that you’ll still need an NFL Sunday Ticket subscription if you want to get all of the out-of-market games on your TV or mobile device. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Goodell says the NFL doesn’t have any solid predictions as to how many subscribers the service will rake in during its first year. NFL Premium comes with a few extra perks, including ad-free full and condensed game replays, as well as access to Coaches Film.

NFL Plus just launched for $4.99 per month — and it has a big ... (Tom's Guide)

The NFL Plus service will only let you stream games to your mobile device — a big minus.

The NFL is touting that you'll be able to watch every preseason game on NFL Plus, but preseason football is some of the worst sports you'll ever see. Now that the contract with DirecTV has ended, the NFL is shopping for a suitor, with Apple, Amazon, and Disney all interested. In addition, subscribers will be able to listen to audio streams for every NFL game, and let you choose between the home, away, or national audio broadcast. If you pay monthly, you'd only be spending a total of $25. The basic tier of the service will cost $4.99/month, or $39.99 per year. And the news has left me a bit ... deflated.

The length of its new Sunday Ticket deal is still to be determined, but the league wants to give a new partner "the right runway to be successful," said Schroeder in an interview. The NFL is in the process of renewing its Sunday Ticket package and will choose a streaming partner, possibly Apple or Amazon, by the fall. Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association already both sell subscriptions to their own streaming services that include out-of-market games.

NFL Plus to Stream Games On a Phone or Tablet for $5 a Month (CNET)

You can watch football on a new streaming service, this time from the NFL.

In the past, the league has had Verizon as a sponsor for mobile streaming but has recently given up the live streaming rights for mobile broadcasts. Both Apple and Amazon have been heavily rumored to be the landing spot for NFL Sunday Ticket after an exclusive with DirecTV expires after the upcoming 2022 NFL season. In addition to the base NFL Plus offering, the league is also adding a second tier it calls "NFL Plus Premium," which brings in additional features such as ad-free full and condensed game replays for $10 a month ($80 per year).

The NFL launched its own subscription streaming service on Monday, offering live games, replays, and on-demand content. But NFL+ is far from a one-stop ...

And the New York Times reported on Sunday that Alphabet (fka Google) is also now in the running; it wants to offer the package on YouTube. The biggest NFL fans will continue to need a subscription to Sunday Ticket, which offers out-of-market games that don’t air nationally in primetime. The pricey sports-on-streaming invasion all comes down to the fact that the NFL is still the surest bet on linear TV and a big advertising moneymaker: Viewership last season was up about 10 percent. To watch them on a TV, you’ll need separate access to ABC, Amazon Prime Video, CBS, ESPN, Fox, NBC, and NFL Network, depending on the game. The package replaces features previously available on NFL Game Pass, which as of now is no longer offered in the U.S. The NFL launched its own subscription streaming service on Monday, offering live games, replays, and on-demand content.
