NFL RedZone, the popular cable channel that shows every scoring play of the league’s Sunday afternoon games, is coming to a streaming device near you.
The NFL announced Thursday it will make the RedZone channel available in the higher priced version of NFL+, the subscription-based streaming service it introduced last year. The league’s NFL Network channel will be available to stream on the lower-priced NFL+ offering.
The new features come with a significant price hikes, which take effect for the upcoming season.
The NFL introduced NFL+ last year for $4.99 a month. The price will now be $6.99, as NFL Network joins the service that includes streaming of local market games and nationally televised prime time contests. A full season will cost $49, up from $39 a year ago.
RedZone will be added to NFL+ Premium, which is increasing from $9.99 a month to $14.99, a 50% surge. The price for a full season will go up from $79.99 to $99.99. NFL+ Premium includes the features of NFL+ along with commercial-free game replays and Coaches Film.
Two years ago, the NFL local games and national telecasts were streamed at no cost to consumers on Yahoo Sports and the NFL mobile app.
Media companies are increasingly turning to price hikes for the streaming platforms in an effort to make them profitable.
