The National Football League (NFL) will proceed with its oft-rumored streaming service, NFL Plus, Sports Business Journal‘s Ben Fischer reports from the NFL owners meetings in Atlanta. Apple and Amazon are the front runners for streaming of NFL games.
Live games on mobile phones and tablets will be the content centerpiece of NFL Plus, which will sell for about $5 monthly, though a source cautioned the pricing structure may change. It will likely include other content as well; possibilities include radio, podcasts and miscellaneous team-created content.
The live mobile/tablet games will be limited to what fans could otherwise see in their local TV markets.
NFL Plus comes to the front as talks continue over possibly selling an equity stake in NFL Media properties, with Apple and Amazon the front runners. If one of those deals comes to fruition, NFL Plus could be folded into that package.
