NFL fans were furious that a playoff game will be a streaming exclusively on Peacock
The streaming era is fast approaching in the sports world, and we've seen some of the top events become a bit less accessible to viewers in recent years.
Now, NFL fans will have to buy a subscription to NBC's Peacock streaming platform to watch one of the Wild Card playoff games beginning this coming season with the debut on January 13, 2024.
It's far from an unprecedented move. Currently, Thursday Night Football is exclusively aired on Amazon Prime Video — another subscription-based streaming platform — and other sports have seen similar changes. The English Premier League, for example, has some games that are only available on Peacock.
But this will be the first time that an NFL playoff game has been exclusive to a streaming platform, and naturally, a lot of fans were not pleased to hear the news.
