During its Xbox One reveal event this past May, Microsoft announced a
major deal with the NFL — reportedly worth
$400 million over the next five years — that makes the company an official partner of the league for endeavors that will put an NFL app on Xbox One and Surface tablets on NFL sidelines.
The centerpiece of the NFL on Xbox One app is a live feed of NFL Network, the league's all-football, all-the-time cable television channel. That includes NFL RedZone, the channel that goes from game to game as teams enter the region inside the 20-yard line. In addition, the app brings in content from the NFL website, such as live scores and highlights. And finally, people who play
fantasy football on the NFL site will be able to track their teams and leagues.
