The NFL forayed into exclusive streaming with Amazon Prime last season. Now, the league is diving deeper.
Peacock will air the first exclusive live streamed NFL playoff game, NBCUniversal and the NFL announced Monday. It will be a prime-time wild-card matchup Saturday, Jan. 13, 2024.
Luckily for those who don't intend on subscribing to Peacock, fans in the markets of the two teams playing will be able to watch on local stations.
The exclusive game will be streamed immediately after another wild-card game that will air on NBC and stream on Peacock.

(10,002 posts)I've not seen an NCAA Football Championship game since they stopped broadcast coverage several years ago. Broadcast coverage of college bowl games are now limited to only a few games as well.
Which is actually working out personally because I'm rediscovering lost time spent much more wisely.
Soon enough, programming on public airwaves might devolve into something totally unwatchable rather than just mostly.
There's a lesson here.
