Verizon strikes extensive live-streaming deal with NFL
Verizon on Monday announced it has signed an unprecedented deal with the NFL that allows it to live-stream all in-market and national NFL games on Verizon-owned media properties like Yahoo Sports and AOL, on mobile phones—regardless of mobile network.
Previously, Verizon live-streamed NFL games only to Verizon subscribers, over the NFL Mobile app. Now football fans can stream games using the smartphone apps of Verizon media properties, for free, whether their mobile carrier is Verizon or not.
The games Verizon can stream will include national preseason games, in-market regular season games, playoffs, and the Super Bowl.
The new deal lasts through 2022 and begins in January 2018, in time to stream this season’s NFL playoffs on Yahoo, Yahoo Sports, Verizon’s video platform go90, and the NFL Mobile app. (Verizon is the parent company of Yahoo.)
As part of this deal, Verizon will offer mobile access to NFL highlights, and create jointly developed original NFL content.
