Football fans will be happy to know that NFL Now will reportedly be launching on the Apple TV as soon as this week, according to 9to5mac. NFL Now was originally announced back in January, and provides fans with the NFL news, analysis and highlights.
An NFL employee leaked a shot of the alleged app running on the Apple TV, and says the app will contain many of the same features as the service does on other platforms:
● Original Content Created for NFL Now: From the NFL Media studios in Los Angeles, NFL Now will create original content — news updates, shows, features, and more — designed specifically for digital platforms.
● Highlights of NFL Action:NFL Now will have extensive highlights of the best plays from NFL games, including a premium instant highlights service during the game window. Subscribers will be able to follow along with the action so they never miss a big play by their favorite team or fantasy players. After games end, relive the highlights from every game.
● Content Produced by NFL Clubs: Each of the NFL clubs is constantly producing content for their team-specific platforms from practice updates to locker room interviews and players features. The NFL Now stream provides a next-generation platform to deliver this team content to fans.
● NFL Films Content: With more than 100 million feet of film in its library and more than 110 Emmy Awards, NFL Films programming, including America’s Game, The Top 100, and the two-time Emmy-nominated series “A Football Life,” will be part of NFL Now.
● NFL.com & NFL Network Content: NFL Now will utilize select NFL.com and NFL Network video content to augment each fan’s NFL Now content stream.
● Live Events, Press Conferences, and Shows: From league and team press conferences, to the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction weekend and the yearly release of the NFL schedule, NFL Now will share important moments from across the NFL calendar.
There is no word yet on whether or not NFL Sunday Ticket will be coming to the Apple TV, but earlier this month DirecTV announced it would be available on iOS without the need for a satellite subscription. Sources say the launch is planned this month, and it could even be as soon as this week.
