“The NFL will be launching a new NFL Now service later this month, and it will be coming to the Apple TV with a dedicated application, according to an image of the app in testing taken by an NFL employee,” Mark Gurman reports for 9to5Mac.
“NFL Now was introduced in January, and it is a personalized NFL content application with on-demand highlights, extensive archives, and news broadcasts,” Gurman reports. “The launch will occur later this month in order for fans to prepare for the 2014-2015 NFL season, and a source says that the debut may even occur later this week… NFL Now will also launch on the iOS App Store for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and it will be available on the web and Apple TV competitors.”
Gurman reports, “The NFL will also be conducting a digital push for NFL Sunday Ticket this fall, but there have been no indications that Sunday Ticket will, too, arrive on the Apple TV.”

As long as it doesn’t require a cable subscription to use it, I’m in. What’s the point if it does?

Thank goodness for this. Where else could I possibly get NFL highlights and news? :rolleyes:

As long Apple didn’t pay them money up front. Cool.
I’d be more than happy if Apple TV could get NFL redzone without a cable sub.
This could tip the scales towards Apple with out the new hardware.
There will be NO LIVE STREAMING OF GAMES on this service.
Fail. NFL needs to get out from under Directtv. At least offer their Game Rewind via this AppleTV app.
