NFL Plus lets you stream live games to your phone or mobile device, and watch on-demand content from NFL Films and the NFL Network.
If you’re looking for an even greater sports streaming experience that will also help you save some money, then you might be interested in the NFL Plus Premium and ESPN Unlimited bundle. The two services are available to bundle for $40 a month, compared to the $45 you’d pay each month if you subscribed to them separately.
