DIRECTV users will be treated to seven hours of commercial-free football for the first time ever this upcoming NFL season.
The programming distributor announced Tuesday that it has agreed to a multiyear renewal with NFL Media that will allow DIRECTV to carry NFL RedZone across all platforms as well as continue carriage of NFL Network.
The statement read in part:
"NFL Network will be available to Choice subscribers on DIRECTV (via satellite and on an authenticated streaming basis) and DIRECTV STREAM, and to U200 subscribers on U-Verse. This agreement marks the first time that DIRECTV and DIRECTV STREAM customers will have access to NFL RedZone.
