NBC will stream 'Sunday Night Football' to your phone in 2018
The end to Verizon's NFL streaming exclusive is already paying dividends. NBCUniversal has cut a deal with the NFL that gives it the rights to stream Sunday Night Footbal through TV Everywhere on smartphones, not just bigger-screened devices like PCs, tablets and TVs. The deal takes effect starting with the 2018 season, so you might not get to watch the Super Bowl on your handset in February. So long as you have TV service, though, you'll at least get to tune into regular season games throughout 2018.
NFL is first to stream live sports on a key Chinese social network
If you enjoy Twitter's live NFL games, you might just feel jealous very shortly. The NFL has struck a deal that will make it the first sports league to livestream on Sina Weibo, one of China's largest social networks. The service has already streamed six regular games so far, but the pact will also have it provide the last Sunday Night Football game, a trio of playoff games and even the Super Bowl. Yes, you read that correctly -- in one way, Chinese fans will have easier access to the biggest football game of the year than their American counterparts.
NFL flex schedule demystified
File this under, why are some things so complicated? The NFL is a funny league, there's just no way to tell in advanced, who's going to be good each season. This makes it very difficult to schedule great match-ups for national games and since the networks pay big money for the rights to carry these games, it's a big deal. So the NFL decided that this season they'd be a little flexible for the last six weeks of the regular season, but man could they've made it any more complicated? Lucky for us HD Sports Guide tackles the challenge, and even goes as far as to speculate which games will be televised nationally each week. So if you love football and you can't wait to see if your team will be selected for the Sunday Night game, head on over and check it out.
