Football fans in situations where they do not have access to a Television, will rejoice at this news. For the first time ever, NBC and the NFL will be streaming the Superbowl directly on the internet, but mobile viewers were not left out either. The stream will also be available exclusively for Verizon Wireless mobile customers as well. You will have to have one of the supported phones, plus NFL Mobile installed to get the stream. Streaming viewers will also get treated to some extra features. Rick Cordella, vice president of NBC Sports Digital Media, had this to add,

“We are especially excited to now bring our unique and innovative SNF Extra video experience to the NFL playoffs, Pro Bowl, and Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl will be held in Indianapolis on Feb. 5 next year. You will also be able to stream the Pro Bowl and Wild Card Saturday on NBC's website, the NFL’s website, or Verizon’s mobile app.

With NFL and NBC both offering it online at their websites, I am betting they will also stream it to their iOS Apps.

However, over one hundred million individuals watch the Super Bowl each year. Some of them, Verizon consumers will be able to stream the football game live as Verizon has reached an agreement with NBC and the National Football League to stream the game for the very first time.
