dude i hope that nba league pass plays commercials...i hate the be right back page with the repetitive beat always going
I always said the same thing.. I have 2 friends though who have to work on Sundays and DVR the games they can and watch after work.Why would I want to watch old regular season games?
That's false. I use my US credit card without any issues.
Who cares if it's not live regular season game. Yarn!
The Apple TV's existing NFL Now channel was today revamped, changing the name to "NFL" and adding support for Game Pass subscriptions. Through the updated channel, NFL fans who have a Game Pass subscription can watch on-demand NFL games and live out-of-market preseason games on the Apple TV for the first time.
In late July, the NFL did away with its existing NFL Game Rewind program, which previously gave customers in the United States access to on-demand NFL games after they aired on broadcast television. Game Rewind was replaced with Game Pass, with access being added to the Apple TV and the NFL Mobile app on the iPhone and the iPad.

The prior NFL Now channel that was on the Apple TV was limited to historic videos, breaking news, and game highlights rather than complete games as the NFL's contracts with television providers have previously prevented it from showing full game content on the television through the Apple TV.
Game Pass includes live access to most out-of-market preseason games, aside from those that are nationally broadcast, plus on-demand regular season, playoff, and Super Bowl games that are available after they air on broadcast television.
Game Pass is available in the United States, Bermuda, Antigua, the Bahamas, any U.S. territories, possessions and commonwealths (including American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands), and Mexico. An NFL Game Pass subscription is priced at $99.99 and access to content will last until July 31, 2016.

NFL fans outside of the United States also have access to an international "Game Pass" service that offers up live games and on-demand content, which confusingly shares the same name as the new service available in the United States.
(Thanks, Dale!)

I'm in the same boat; fortunately my girlfriend is still in college, so we just used her email address to sign up for it. They just opened up streaming-only services to college students at any school, so if you know anyone in college, make friends and go for it.I would totally pay directv, but since it is offered where I live I would have to have their TV service to get just sunday ticket.
Live out of market games is only for preseason.wait... did that say live out of market games? can I drop the $400 nfl package on directv then and watch live games in other states?
well that sucks... I'm sure apple is prepping a nice package with nfl as the directv sole source expires at the end of this year.
YAWN! How about adding Apple Music to Apple TV or another free Movie/TV Streaming service there are many for free and Amazon Prime not sure anymore who Apple TV Streaming is for. It least add SHUDDER Horror Movie streaming to Apple TV.
Apple TV has long way to go compared to ROKU as a hardware and the streaming service.
Just the Apple way. Give you part of something, call it ground breaking, charge the heck out of you and then next year give a little more so they can do it all over again....all the while never providing what others have provided for years at a lower price.
Agreed. I settled on Netherlands as it was the cheapest at the time. It's $30 less than I paid last year.
Really wish the NFL would just let us do it without having to be creative. Then again, they'd probably charge us $300 to do so.
Someone give me the $100 and i'll tell you the score.
