Verizon Making NFL Games Available For Free To Mobile Customers

Verizon is now making live NFL games available to all its current mobile customers for free after previously restricting the premium content to certain price tiers. Games available exclusively to all Verizon wireless subscribers as part of its ongoing partnership with the league will include local Sunday afternoon games, “SNF,” “MNF” and “TNF.” Live streaming of NFL Network will also now be available for free to all Verizon mobile subscribers. The live games and NFL Network stream will be available through a newly rebuilt NFL Mobile app. However, cellular data use charges will still apply.

The expanded availability of the live NFL games to Verizon subscribers mirrors a similar liberalization DirecTV recently implemented for college students and apartment dwellers to gain digital access to NFL Sunday Ticket.
