The NFL has decided that the best company to take a crack at streaming its games is itself. On Monday, the league launched its new streaming service, NFL+ (great name, no notes), for $4.99/month, or $39.99/year.
NFL+ does have one challenge flag—games on the app will only be viewable on mobile devices or tablets, not TVs. But, according to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, it’s just the start of a long-term strategy of incorporating streaming into the NFL content playbook.
And the NFL is sifting through bids for the rights to its lucrative Sunday Ticket package, which DirecTV has held since 1994 (their deal expires after this season). Apple is reportedly the front-runner.
