If you watch football, pick up your phone and download the 'NFL Now' app this instant.
The app, which was first announced in January, is now available just in time for the coming season to begin.
It's essentially the best video library of NFL film all in one place, according to The Verge.
Users can watch highlights, interviews, Hard Knocks, fantasy football advice and the decades of NFL Films content and all of it is free. An impressive 6300 minutes of original NFL Now content per week will be produced by the league.
The Verge heard when users can download NFL Now for Android, iOS, Windows, Firefox, Roku, Xbox, Apple TV, so everywhere. As of this article, there are no plans to add Sony Playstation, according to USA Today.
When you sign in, users select which teams and or players they are interested in following and the app populates a stream of personalized videos for you.
For $1.99 a month you get access to NFL Now Plus, which offers more game-day highlights, more archive footage, and a totally ad-free experience - which you'll want to do because the ads are frequent.
The one thing NFL doesn't have? Live games. David Pierce at The Verge explained why that might eventually change:
The NFL's ridiculously lucrative deals - including a huge new digital deal with Microsoft - don't allow it. But they'll expire eventually, and this is clearly the place the NFL will someday stream its games. (If you're outside the US, the league's Game Pass package already allows you to do so.) Whenever access does become widespread NFL Now is going to become a must-have for every football fan in America. Even now, it's an awesome way to catch up on your team (the Giants, duh), watch a few highlights, and stay busy during the baseball doldrums until the season starts. There's a lot of Hard Knocks waiting for me.
