Are you ready for some football?
CBS will let you stream the NFL 2018 season live from your phone or tablet. (Disclosure: CBS is CNET's parent company.)
On Monday, CBS announced that it will stream all NFL On CBS games, which includes football games produced by CBS Sports, to mobile devices starting this year and through the 2022 season. The network will stream the games across all CBS All Access platforms including CBS.com, the CBS mobile app and through its smart TV apps.
CBS All Access subscribers will be able to stream the games broadcast in their local areas.
Streaming NFL games to mobile devices used to be reserved for Verizon customers, but in December 2017, Verizon lost its exclusive streaming rights for mobile devices. ESPN and NBC have since gained mobile streaming rights.
