NFL Shifts Preseason Games to Streaming

0:00On March 30, baseball fans got a wake-up call last week when opening day games when streaming only, leaving folks hunting for access. Now the NFL is doubling down on that shift, putting more games on platforms like Amazon Prime and Netflix to chase bigger crowds. League owners are hashing it out at their meetings in Phoenix this week, eyeing a big move for preseason games. The plan floats letting teams sell those match-up straight to streaming services, ditching traditional TV spots. Fans are feeling the pinch already, especially with court-cutting on the rise millions ditching cable for apps. Local viewers might lose easy access, hitting markets like New York where teams draw national eyes, but broadcasts limited. Details are still fuzzy, like whether streams get exclusive rights or share with local channels. For squads like the Giants who air preseason on network TV lately, this could mean nationwide fans tuning in easier while locals adapt. The streaming rules the game, expect the NFL to keep evolving, blending old school football with new tech to keep everyone watching.
