The National Football League and Verizon announced a multi-year extension of their agreement that allows streaming on mobile phones. Verizon currently has the rights to stream NBC’s Sunday Night Football, ESPN’s Monday Night Football and NFL Network’s Thursday Night Football games over its wireless network to smartphones. NFL Network and NFL RedZone are also part of the current agreement.

Beginning in 2014, those rights will expand to in-market CBS and Fox Sunday afternoon games. Mobile customers will not have the ability to watch games out-of-market. The rights will also include all postseason games and the Super Bowl.

This is for mobile phones only. Tablet rights are held by the individual networks.
