NBC will air the Super Bowl on Feb. 5, but the game will also stream on NFL.com and NBCSports.com, the network announced Tuesday. Verizon users will be able to watch from their devices via NFL Mobile. NBC's broadcasts of wild card Saturday and the Pro Bowl will also be streamed online.
"We are pleased to work with our partners NBC and Verizon to bring our fans more ways to watch their favorite sport during their favorite time of the year," Hans Schroeder, NFL Senior Vice President of Media Strategy and Development, said in a statement.
