Verizon and the NFL have expanded their streaming rights agreement to allow fans to watch live NFL games within the Yahoo Fantasy Football mobile app for the first time during the upcoming NFL season. Verizon Media made the announcement at the company’s NewFront event in New York City on Tuesday.
Yahoo fantasy football users will be able to watch all local and primetime games for free, and unauthenticated, within the Yahoo Fantasy Football app on smartphones and tablets. Games will continue to also stream on the Yahoo Sports mobile app as part of the five-year, $2 billion deal Verizon and the NFL agreed to in December 2017.
