The NFL's new in-house streaming service called NFL+ for mobile phones and tabletslaunched Monday for $4.99 a month or $9.99 a month.
Since previous deals with Verizon and Yahoo have expired, the league's new NFL+ will offer live out-of-market preseason games, live local and primetime regular season and postseason games (only on phones and tablets) and live local and national audio for every game and other content, according to the NFL announcement.
"NFL+ marks the next evolution of the NFL’s direct-to-consumer offering, building upon what the league developed with NFL Game Pass," the announcement said. "With the launch of NFL+, NFL Game Pass will no longer be offered in the United States."
The NFL+ Premium tier – which includes content from the former NFL Game Pass – will be available for $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year. The premium service includes all of the NFL+ content programs, plus full and condensed game replays and the All-22 Coaches Film.
Owners approved the NFL+ plan during their meetings in Atlanta in May.
