There are a few caveats to this announcement. Those scheduled streams include 97 regular-season games and four playoff games that will take place over the course of the 2014 season. This year, the network will be streaming 101 NFL Games on its website and tablet app. And the last three Super Bowls have all been streamed - first by NBC Sports, then by CBS, and last season by Fox Sports.Īpparently that last live broadcast was successful enough for Fox Sports to decide to do it some more. ESPN has made its Monday Night Football games available online and through its WatchESPN app for tablets. Over time, the appetite for streaming has expanded to other networks when available. Part of the reason for that is that it had exclusive rights to those streams, and well, they provided a reason for NFL fans to sign up - whether or not they had a satellite dish. Streaming is nothing entirely new: After all, DirecTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket service has provided streaming access to all out-of-market games over the last several years. The latest is Fox Sports, which will stream 101 NFL games it has rights to this season. As more and more audiences are turning to their laptops, mobile phones and tablets to watch streams of their favorite sports teams, broadcasters are increasingly making those matches available on those devices. Once upon a time, it was rare to see sports streamed online, but that’s no longer true.
