For the first time, the Super Bowl will be streamed live in the U.S., according to an announcement just made by the NFL and NBC.

The league and the network said the Super Bowl, as well as other key NFL post-season events including the Pro Bowl and NBC’s Wild Card Saturday doubleheader, will be available to fans on television, online and on select mobile phones.

NBC’s post-season games will be broadcast on NBC as well as streamed live on NFL.com and NBCSports.com, and will be available on NFL Mobile only from Verizon. This marks the first time postseason games will be available in the U.S. via live online streaming and via a mobile app.
