National Football League launches new streaming service: NFL+
NFL+ – the National Football League’s exclusive video streaming subscription service – has officially launched.
This new sports-oriented streaming service allow us to take our games with us “on the go.” NFL+ offers access to live out-of-market preseason games, live local and primetime regular season and postseason games (phone and tablet only), live local and national audio for every game, NFL Network shows on-demand, NFL Films archives – and more.
Yesterday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said that the day marked, “an important day in the history of the National Football League with the launch of NFL+.”
“The passionate and dedicated football fans are the lifeblood of the NFL, and being able to reach and interact with them across multiple platforms is incredibly important to us. We look forward to continuing to grow NFL+ and deepening our relationship with fans across all ages and demographics, providing them access to a tremendous amount of NFL content, including the most valuable content in the media industry: live NFL games.”
One of the key takeaways for NFL+ is that the service only provides access to its content on your cell phone and/or tablet.
The service is being touted as the next evolution of the NFL’s direct-to-consumer offering, building upon what the league developed with NFL Game Pass, the service that for about $100 annually, allowed you allowed you to stream every regular season game on demand, along with some NFL Films Library and NFL Network content. With the growth of OTT, NFL+ is the NFL’s commitment to bringing fans the content they want and delivering a marquee direct-to-consumer experience.
Note that with the launch of NFL+, NFL Game Pass will no longer be offered in the United States.
NFL+ is available in the NFL App across all app stores for $4.99/month or $39.99/year. Fans can upgrade to NFL+ Premium for $9.99/month or $79.99/year, which offers all of the features of NFL+ as well as full and condensed game replays and the All-22 Coaches Film.
