Source-derived summary

NFL+ is an over-the-top subscription service operated by the National Football League (NFL) in the United States. The service offers live-streaming of the radio broadcasts of all NFL games, streaming of the television broadcasts of in-market games on mobile devices, streaming of out-of-market preseason games, live access to NFL Network, and library content from NFL Films. The service's premium tier offers on-demand replays of NFL games, including alternate "All-22" and "Coaches Film" presentations, and live access to NFL RedZone.

Outside the United States, NFL Game Pass International is distributed by the over-the-top streaming service DAZN, either a standalone subscription or an add-on to an existing DAZN package. The primary differences between the domestic NFL+ service and the international Game Pass version are that the latter is generally sold as a single combined tier, and also includes live streaming of regular season and postseason games regardless of device.

The services are an amalgamation of several streaming services previously offered by the NFL. NFL Audio Pass (formerly NFL Field Pass) originally launched in 2003 in partnership with RealNetworks to stream radio broadcasts of NFL games. In 2006, the league launched NFL Game Pass as its streaming service for international markets, offering both live and on-demand replays of game for those outside the United States. The league then launched NFL Game Rewind in 2008 to offer on-demand replays to U.S. customers before merging it with NFL Audio Pass in 2015 to form a U.S. version of NFL Game Pass. In turn, the U.S. version of Game Pass was merged with the NFL's in-market mobile streaming rights (formerly held by Verizon Media) in 2022 to form NFL+. DAZN then signed a ten-year deal in 2023 to distribute the international version of NFL Game Pass.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“NFL+” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, American, subscription and sports provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6953709. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2003, 2006, 2008 and 2015.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
