Starting in 2014, Verizon will be streaming all NFL games to mobile phone users via their NFL Mobile app in a deal worth $1 Billion. The app, available for Apple iOS, Google Android and Microsoft Windows Phone devices, can already be used to stream?NBC?s?Sunday Night Football?games, ESPN?s?Monday Night Football?matches, the NFL Network?s?Thursday Night Football?contests and content from the NFL RedZone network. Verizon first stepped into the role of being the NFL?s exclusive content provider in 2010, succeeding Sprint.
The new content will not be available until the start of the 2014 season and will include games broadcast on Fox and CBS all the way through to the Super Bowl. For the 2013 season, Verizon and the NFL have committed to making some improvements to the current NFL Mobile app. It is not clear whether any of the forthcoming changes will take advantage of Verizon?s 4G LTE network and Verizon declined to comment on the question.
The networks only sold the exclusive rights to broadcast games on mobile phones to Verizon. They retained the right to stream games on tablets and computers. With the changing landscape of computing devices, the NFL and other partners to the deal will have to work out how the new deal may or may not apply to ?phablet? devices or other form factors that cross or stretch the boundaries of conventional devices.
