The National Football League (NFL) has just launched its first-ever streaming service this month. Among the highlights of the service is its low starting price of just $4.99 per month, which includes all out-of-market preseason games, access to live local/ prime-time regular NFL season and postseason games on mobile devices, and live game audio. We dive deeper into this fresh new streaming service and discuss its subscription plans, what they offer, and much more.
NFL+
Fans of football are all excited to get their hands on NFL+ mobile app, the first-ever streaming service from the National Football League. Subscriptions start at a very low price of $4.99 per month, or $39.99 per year, and feature complete preseason games.
This is incredible news because you would previously have to pay a whopping $99.99 to subscribe to the service for a year for out-of-market preseason games. Despite being launched just ahead of the preseason kick-off of the Jaguars-Raiders game, NFL+ did not stream it because it was a nationally televised event.
Subscribers also get to watch the live local and prime-time regular season and post-season games on their mobile devices. Yahoo Sports no longer offers these games for free, so football fans can access them via the NFL+ subscriptions.
The main benefit of the National Football League operating its own streaming service and the app is that it can potentially give access to exclusive games on the platform in the future. Such a streaming service is not new in the sports world since the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Major League Baseball (MLB) already offer subscriptions to their own streaming services. These existing services also include access to out-of-market games.
SUBSCRIPTION PLANS
There are currently two subscription plans being offered with NFL+. One is the NFL+ plan and the other is the more expensive NFL+ Premium plan, which is $9.99 per month or $79.99 for one year. Here is a breakdown of what each plan offers.
NFL+ ($4.99 MONTHLY OR $39.99 YEARLY
- Live local and prime-time games.

The National Football League has expressed its desire to make deeper and more meaningful connections with football fans and this new subscription service is its way of making it happen. It will allow them to engage and interact with fans across multiple platforms and provide more NFL content.
FINAL THOUGHTS

Starting at a very reasonable price, you get to experience live local games, prime-time games, out-of-market preseason games, and more.
