AFN Will Stream All NFL Games

View Online IMMEDIATE RELEASE AFN Will Stream All NFL Games Sept. 3, 2024 The Defense Media Activity (DMA) and the American Forces Network (AFN) invites its overseas audiences to enjoy the military network's full coverage of the 2024 NFL season, beginning this Thursday, September 5. With the generous support of the National Football League (NFL), AFN will stream all NFL games on its free television app, AFN Now. The availability of every kick-off through to the Super Bowl is a first for the AFN streaming app. Complete season coverage of the NFL season on AFN will now be a combination of traditional television coverage and live streaming on the AFN Now app, with the convenience of video-on-demand for later viewing. "The NFL's continued partnership and support of U.S. military audiences overseas has been tremendous," says Jim Alexander, Director of the AFN Broadcast Center. "The game access the NFL has provided U.S. service members and their families this year is beyond measure and so appreciated by our military forces serving overseas." The video-on-demand service now allows viewers to not miss a moment of this Fall's NFL action. With additional content from the NFL channel, fans on AFN Now will be able to continuously stream highlights, replays, and exclusive NFL content 24/7. "This is our second full season covering the NFL on AFN Now and die-hard military football fans are going to be thrilled," says Kim Antos, Chief of AFN Digital Media. "In addition to all 272 regular-season matchups and the post season playoffs, this year's coverage on AFN Now includes access to the NFL Network's own content, archived games, highlights and analysis, all available anytime." The 2024 NFL season begins Sept. 5, when the Baltimore Ravens take on the Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday Night Football. AFN television will air the game live and simultaneously stream it through the AFN Now app. Viewers are encouraged to download the AFN Now app from the Google Play or Apple App store and register before kickoff. The AFN Now app will make available those NFL games not shown on regular AFN television. Those games will be available as video-on-demand, usually 24 to 48 hours after the game ends, and available for seven days. AFN's overseas audiences can stream those games on up to four devices, including smartphones, tablets, or streaming devices like Roku, Apple TV, or Amazon's Fire Stick. "AFN is a service all overseas military members and their families are able to access." says Antos. "AFN Now offers audiences the ability to stream a wide variety of news, sports, movies and entertainment on their favorite devices for free." NFL fans stationed overseas simply need to download the AFN's free app, AFN Now, and register. Recent coverage of the Paris Summer Olympics on AFN Now far exceeded the apps expectations, notes Antos. In the first week of Olympics coverage more than 25 thousand hours were streamed. AFN Now currently streams 23 linear channels and offers a wide range of sports programming, to include NBA and MLB games, WWE, and the U.S. Open. Launched just two years ago, the app is now on more than 71 thousand mobile devices worldwide and has proven highly popular with military audiences. AFN Now is available to service members, families, and retirees living overseas. For the app to work, registrants must be verified by the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). The app is easy to download, and users can register at AFN Now. The AFN Now Help Desk is manned around the clock to provide support. They can be reached at DMA.AFNnow.Help@mail.mil.
