Viewers will be able to stream games from the regular season
and playoff of the National Football League on the CBS Sports
website and on television via select connected TV, including
Xbox One, Apple TV, Chromecast and Roku players, CBS said on its
website. (http://cbsprt.co/1Xdsjst)
Streaming coverage of the games, including this year's Super
Bowl, will also be available on phone to Verizon users.
CBS will stream the national broadcast of New York Jets versus
Miami Dolphins in London on Oct. 4. The second game will be the
Carolina Panthers versus Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day,
Nov. 26.
Online streaming services are becoming increasingly popular as
it pulls in viewers who do not want to pay for costly cable TV
bundles.
