NFL Notes: 2016 Live-Stream Games, Colts, Giants, Jaguars, & Seahawks

2016 Live-Stream Games

Jessica Toonkel of Reuters reports that the NFL is planning to live-stream all three of the 2016 London games online.

According to Toonkel, Apple and Google are among the technology companies in talks to buy the rights to conduct the stream.

The NFL reportedly deemed the first ever live-stream on Yahoo a success and now wants to live-stream all of the London games.

As of now, it remains to be seen whether or not the NFL will look to sell the three games as a package or as three separate games.

Next year’s games scheduled to be played in London include: Colts vs. Jaguars on Oct. 2, Giants vs. Rams on Oct. 23, and Redskins vs. Bengals on Oct. 30.
