Fox to Offer Super Bowl Stream For Free

Fox Sports today announced it will offer a live, non-authenticated (no pay TV subscription required) stream of the 2017 Super Bowl, which will be played Sunday, February 5th in Houston’s NRG Stadium.

The online broadcast will be available on the Fox Sports Go app using iOS, Android, Windows, and Amazon tablets or though Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV and XBox One. (No PlayStation evidently.)

And for the first time, the live Super Bowl stream will include local advertisements with more than 170 Fox affiliates participating. The stream will also include the often-entertaining national spots that the Super Bowl has become famous for.

The last several Super Bowls have been streamed live by the networks so this is not a particularly stunning announcement. But the addition of local ads shows that the networks are looking for more ways to generate revenue from such online events.

But not smartphones. Verizon still has the monopoly on NFL games on phones, and those can only be watched via their NFL app. The other carriers' phones are SOL.

It also doesn't matter if you're not using their data network. I couldn't watch Monday Night Football via WatchESPN on my Verizon smartphone, even when connected to my WiFi instead of their network. My tablet worked fine, but the phone was blocked.
