The move also allows CBS Sports’ broadcast coverage of Super Bowl LIII to stream live via the CBS All Access subscription service to connected TV devices, tablets and mobile phones.

“We’re looking forward to bringing this season’s biggest game to the biggest possible digital audience and building on the record-breaking Super Bowl streams we’ve delivered in the past,” said Jeff Gerttula, EVP and GM, CBS Sports Digital. “Streaming Super Bowl LIII across CBS Sports Digital and CBS All Access platforms is a win for NFL fans.”

Meanwhile, the entire 2018 NFL ON CBS schedule will be streamed live on all CBS All Access platforms, online at CBS.com and on various connected devices including Roku Players, Apple TV and Chromecast. CBS All Access subscribers will receive the NFL ON CBS games that are broadcast in their local market.

NFL ON CBS authenticated streaming rights will also extend to mobile for its cable, satellite, telco and vMVPD partners beginning this season.

CBS Sports Digital streamed Super Bowl 50 in 2016 and Super Bowl XLVII in 2013.
