Streaming is making it harder to watch sports

Published



The streaming revolution is making it harder (and more expensive) to watch the sports that you love.

The NFL announced that Netflix will be exclusively airing the league’s Christmas games for the next three years, adding another service that fans will have to subscribe to if they want to watch games.

There are also now four separate streaming services that carry exclusive games, including prime-time and playoff games: Amazon Prime Video, ESPN+, NBC’s Peacock, and now Netflix.
