How to Listen to NFL Games Live
The National Football League offers three audio packages for fans to listen to out-of-market games using an internet connection or satellite radio. One plan is accessible to all NFL fans, while the other two plans are exclusive to either Verizon mobile or Sirius Satellite Radio customers. The audio packages allow fans, who otherwise could not listen to NFL broadcasts, to follow their favorite team or other games of interest. As a feature of the audio packages, fans are able to select from either team's hometown broadcast announcers, putting displaced NFL fans right back at home.

Tips & Warnings
The NFL Mobile package used to belong to Sprint, but the NFL came to terms with Verizon in the spring of 2010. The NFL Mobile page on the official website of the NFL may still read Sprint, but that information should update.
XM Radio customers who subscribe to the "Best of Sirius" radio package have access to the Sirius NFL Radio channel, but not to NFL games.
