NFL Becomes Latest League To Launch Streaming Platform

The National Football League (NFL) have launched their over-the-top (OTT) streaming platform, NFL+, where standard and premium plans are available at a monthly or yearly rate.

The service will give fans access to NFL network shows, archival films, preseason games, primetime regular and postseason games for all 32 teams and will be accessible on any device.

This will also move the organisation into a direct-to-consumer offering model by providing OTT content, which provides fans with engaging content involving different teams to enjoy.

Commenting on launch, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, said: “Today marks an important day in the history of the National Football League with the launch of NFL+.”

“The passionate and dedicated football fans are the lifeblood of the NFL and being able to reach and interact with them across multiple platforms is incredibly important to us.

“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,” he said.

Additionally, a standard subscription will cost US$4.99 (AUD$5.76) a month or US$39.99 (AUD$57.76) annually, while a premium plan will double to US$9.99 (AUD $14.42) per month or US $79.99 (AUD$115) a year.
