There’s good news for NFL fans today, as live mobile streaming of games will now be available on all carriers, not just Verizon. The new arrangement begins in January.
There is one catch, however …
In addition to the expanded availability of live games, the new agreement will provide fans mobile access to NFL highlights [and] coverage of NFL throughout the week and year.
Clarification on the announcement to The Verge indicates that availability varies by location.
While Verizon is losing the exclusivity of its NFL partnership, the carrier was keen to stress that it remains strongly involved.
The NFL said that the new deal would bring mobile streaming to millions more fans.
Both the NFL Mobile and Yahoo Sports apps are free downloads from the App Store, the former with in-app purchases for some content.
