All of the games you’d be able to watch on your TV already but not on your TV

The National Football League (NFL) has finally launched its mobile streaming service, NFL Plus. The service is available in two different tiers: NFL Plus and NFL Plus Premium, for $4.99 / month ($39.99 / year) or $9.99 / month ($79.99 / year), respectively.

Both NFL Plus and Premium offer the ability to stream live local or nationally broadcast regular and postseason games (including the playoffs, Pro Bowl, and Super Bowl) but only on a mobile phone or tablet screen — not on your TV. There’s also live game audio for all games (with your choice of home, away, or national broadcasters), the entire slate of preseason games, and ad-free access to NFL’s on-demand programming. NFL Premium comes with a few extra perks, including ad-free full and condensed game replays, as well as access to Coaches Film.

NFL Plus has been rumored since at least March and was confirmed by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell earlier this month. The NFL has long partnered with Verizon to allow its customers to stream live games from their mobile devices and later extended those rights to any mobile carrier. These deals didn’t include out-of-market games, however.

With the launch of the new subscription, NFL says it’s doing away with Game Pass. The service offered some of the same features, such as the ability to stream live and on-demand games, but also gave users the option to stream from their TV or console. This means that you’ll still need an NFL Sunday Ticket subscription if you want to get all of the out-of-market games on your TV or mobile device.

Football on the phone? Might be worth the experiment for $5.00. Heck, you'd blow that on glass of craft beer at the local bar (at least).

Will you try it?

1. Lots of people can cast from their phone or laptop to the rv

Don't know if there's a way for them to stop that or not.

2. I guess, though I've run into a few instances when I can't

3. I wouldn't have any interest in it.

I'm fortunate in that I can almost always be at home come 1:00 Sunday (I have an understanding wife), and my favorite team is just 50 miles down the road, so they're in my broadcast area and I can watch all games on tv. If I lived far away, then that might change my mind and consider it.
