Yahoo will be first to live stream an NFL game

This is quite a coup for Yahoo…

The NFL and Yahoo! Inc. announced Wednesday a first-ever partnership that will exclusively digitally deliver the NFL’s International Series game in London between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars on October 25 to fans around the world for free on any device.

The BillsJaguars game will be made available across multiple properties, including Yahoo, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Screen, and Tumblr, collectively with over one billion monthly visitors. The deal represents the first time the NFL has partnered with a company to live stream a regular season game over-the-top globally.

In keeping with the NFL’s long-standing commitment to make its games available on free, over-the-air television, the game will also be televised in the both the Buffalo (WIVB-TV) and Jacksonville (WTEV-TV) markets at 9:30 a.m. ET.
