Streaming coverage begins with the national broadcast of New York Jets-Miami in London (Oct. 4, 9:30 AM, ET), which will mark the first NFL ON CBS regular season game to be streamed live. CBS Sports will also stream Carolina-Dallas (Nov. 26, 4:30 PM, ET), which will mark the first time the CBS Sports broadcast of a Thanksgiving Day game is streamed live.

All AFC playoff coverage will again be streamed this year, including the Wild Card, Divisional, and Championship games. On Sunday, Feb. 7, CBS Sports will live stream the CBS Television Network’s exclusive broadcast of Super Bowl 50.

“We’re very excited to offer more NFL ON CBS streaming coverage across more digital platforms than ever before,” said Jeffrey Gerttula, Senior Vice President and General Manager of CBS Sports Digital. “All NFL fans will have access through their computers, tablets and now Connected TVs to two regular season games for the first time in addition to all of the AFC playoff action, culminating with a truly historic Super Bowl.”

From the press release, only two regular season games will be streamed. Sorry - I was excited for a minute there...

"NEW YORK, N.Y. – Sept. 1, 2015 – CBS Sports will stream more NFL ON CBS game coverage than ever this season, including two regular season games, four playoff games and Super Bowl 50 from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif".

You dashed my hopes.

May the Blue Bird of Paradise fly up your nose.

It's a start, though.. it really is.

It's the future, so they need to get with it.

I am missing something. If these are already nationally televised games, what's the big deal? Overseas?

The very first tweet in this thread stated that CBS was going to stream ALL of its game this season.

Some of us were quick to hope FOX, home of most Dallas Cowboys games, would soon do likewise.

The initial tweet was misinformed, CBS is only going to stream 2 games during the season before streaming all of its playoff games.

But even if it stream ALL of its games, aren't they all nationally televised anyway?

Big.

 

[btcutter]

but only the one in local stations and not every game around the country I suspect.

No.

There is only one national game in the afternoon, usually the second game in the line up when the other station doesn't have a game. The national telecast alternates back and forth each week between FOX and CBS.

All of the other games that are on are regional telecasts, which is why the TV maps get posted every week during the regular season to show which markets will carry the Cowboys game.

Streaming all those regional games would allow fans outside the home markets of teams to watch the games they want to see.
