The National Football League has launched its highly-anticipated streaming service called NFL+, which to start will only be available on mobile devices.
Of course, the app is being released ahead of the upcoming NFL 2022/23 season and will provide users with access to all local and primetime games once the season kicks off. However, for those who sign up now, the platform will also offer them access to out-of-market preseason games. NFL+ will replace NFL Game Pass, which offered similar features.
“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," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
