On Sunday, the NFC Wild Card game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers will be available to authenticated cable subscribers through the Fox Sports Go app. That means the game will be streamed, but only to those customers whose cable providers have agreements with Fox.
As it stands now, AT&T U-Verse, Cablevision Optimum, Comcast Xfinity, MidContinent, Suddenlink and WOW cable systems have access to the app. Bright House, Cox, DirecTV, Dish, Time Warner and other providers have yet to make agreements for Fox Sports Go.
This will be the case for the NFC Divisional Playoffs and NFC Championship on Fox, however, the Super Bowl in February will be accessible to everyone with no authentication involved.
Here’s the Fox press release.
