Sports Leagues Offer Free Streaming of Older Games Amid Coronavirus Shutdown - News Summed Up

Sports Leagues Offer Free Streaming of Older Games Amid Coronavirus Shutdown


The NFL said it’s making every game since 2009 available for free streaming on its direct-to-consumer service NFL Game Pass. The NBA and Turner Sports on Wednesday also removed the paywall for the League Pass subscription service until April 22. “It did not need to be overanalyzed.”In the U.S., Game Pass offers full broadcast replays of preseason, regular-season and playoff games without commercials. Mr. Jurenka said he doesn’t believe making games available for free through Game Pass would affect discussions with league partners, or prevent audiences from watching older games on other networks and platforms. Users will need to sign up for Game Pass using their email addresses.
