CBS will make an Oct. 4 matchup in London between the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins available to stream for free without the need for a subscription or cable provider. The same will apply to a Thanksgiving Day game between the Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys.
The Super Bowl has been available for free streaming since 2012 and all postseason games were made available in 2014. However, Yahoo was the first to announce a plan to stream a regular season game for free when it announced in June that it had secured the rights to a London game on Oct. 25 between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills.
FOX Sports first brought the NFL regular season to the Internet in 2014 with 101 games made available online, but those were not free to the public.
CBS and FOX currently have rights to NFL games through the 2022 season and the NFL agreed to a multi-billion dollar extension with DirecTV to extend the provider’s NFL Sunday Ticket service, so don’t expect to see the entire regular season online for free any time soon.
