NFL Digital Media Upgrades Fan Engagement With Free Live Streaming, New Programming

NFL Digital Media announces a complete lineup of products, features, and series that not only ensure fans never miss a game wherever they are, but also provides a deeper connection to the conversations, players, and teams they love to follow.

For the first time, live local and most primetime games are available on phones and tablets across all wireless carriers at no charge through the NFL app, Yahoo Sports, and other Verizon-owned mobile properties. NFL Network exclusive games are available for OTT streaming on phones and require authentication on tablets and other devices. Fans can access live games on desktop and connected TV devices by logging in with their TV provider on NFL.com, the NFL app, or the applicable TV network or provider’s digital platform. NFL Sunday Ticket customers will also be able to stream through NFL and DirecTV apps and sites.

NFL RedZone and NFL Network are available across devices on an authenticated basis through the NFL app and NFL.com.

In addition to accessing live games, the redesigned NFL app includes an all-new Game Center that provides up-to-the-minute scoring, in-game highlights, statistical insights, and animated drive charts. On phones, fans can also access NFL Network live, as well as subscribe to NFL RedZone.

“From the redesigned NFL app to new live shows, our digital team is driven to develop products, platforms, and content franchises that keep a highly engaged NFL fan base connected to the game, teams, and players they love,” says David Jurenka, NFL Senior Vice President of Digital Media. “We’re excited to unveil more content across our digital and social channels that bring fans even closer to all the moments that make every NFL season special.”

Complementing the live game viewing experience is a host of digital-first programming that engages a social media-savvy NFL audience.

With more than 10 billion minutes of video watched across the NFL’s digital and social properties last year, the NFL Digital Media team has introduced new brands that will continue to deliver compelling content for fans:
