How To Watch Live Nfl Games Online?

Where can i watch live nfl games online?

  • Answer:

    NFL gives Internet a butt-pat, offers live streaming games Webcasting has officially made its way to the beer-and-football mainstream, thanks to the National Football League, which has announced plans to stream live broadcasts of Sunday night football games this fall. These streams will be the first time the NFL's content is made widely available online, and the news means that the patented Madden "Boom!" will soon be coming to a laptop near you. Both the NFL and its broadcast partner, NBC, will provide sites dedicated to the webcasts. In addition to the live TV feed that features commentary from Al Michaels and John Madden, both sites will feature a variety of extra content. These include highlight clips, views from multiple cameras, live statistics, and blog content. True fanatics may find the site worth visiting even if they have access to the TV broadcast. The move is surprisingly forward-looking, given the NFL's historic anti-online stance when it comes to its games. As many Internet-using NFL fans know by now, the league keeps an extremely tight leash on even the tiniest of clips from its games. The organization even made headlines last March when it sent a series of DMCA takedown notices to Brooklyn Law School professor Wendy Seltzer because she posted a clip on YouTube that showed the NFL's own copyright notice. In August, however, the NFL took its first baby steps into the big, bad online world by signing a deal with DIRECTV that would allow some satellite subscribers to watch games streamed live to their PCs. Still, the DIRECTV deal was pretty restrictive, making this new offering even more noteworthy. "We are taking a big leap here," NFL Network's Steve Bornstein told the LA Times. "We are looking at this as a learning opportunity to see what applications work online. We are trying to be innovative and creative to make the viewing experience better for our fans."

The NFL does not allow the games to be legally streamed online To "officially" follow NFL games, you either have to subscribe to an audio stream from the NFL, follow on Sirius (although that doesn't work overseas via the Internet), or subscribe to DirecTV's NFL package and pay an additional fee for laptop/iPhone streaming via DirecTV Supercast, which costs $380. The DirecTV iPhone app, Supercast Mobile, is technically free, but it's useless without the subscription. You could also set up a Slingbox to your home television and watch on your PC or smartphone, but that would only enable one broadcast game in a local market, and requires both a good TV feed at home and the purchase of a Slingbox. Unofficially, a number of peer-to-peer streaming sites have spotty feeds set up from personal TV sets, which come and go as they're shut down. Unfortunately, the illegal means are the best way for international travelers to get an NFL fix, since the only regular-season games that are streamed over the Internet at this point are NBC's Sunday Night broadcasts, and that's inside the U.S. I had to resort to scanning streaming sites while hunched over a Lenovo IdeaPad S12 when I was vacationing in Bavarian Germany, hoping to grab the Jets-Colts game. What's absurd is that the NFL doesn't have a pay-per-view system set up on the Internet for individual broadcasts--rather than charge the whole hog, a fee per game could draw in a whole new audience of fans who would otherwise be forced to seek out the nearest sports bar with a satellite dish. Every other U.S. sport has been more open and democratic about its access, but the NFL gets large chunks of money from entities that pay big for the exclusivity of their content (Sirius, DirecTV, EA, Sprint). Now, in all fairness, the NFL is also the only American sport you can watch nearly every local game of on TV without an extra cable subscription. But, beyond over-the-air, the NFL is an absurdly tight ship. My open request to the NFL: make your games available to stream and view individually. I have no idea if the result will be any more profitable than the deals that are already set up, but I don't care. Give me easy access. Grant me my wish by CES 2011, so I don't resort to terrible hacks when I'm in England. Source: http://ces.cnet.com/8301-31045_1-10434850-269.html
