Sprint and the National Football League (NFL) are giving Sprint wireless subscribers access to live NFL game coverage on their mobile phones. Coverage will include red zone drives and other key moments of all games televised on NFL Network in 2007.

The coverage will be provided by NFL Network which will produce a three-hour studio-based show that will be streamed live on NFL.com and via wireless exclusively to Sprint subscribers. Highlights of that coverage include live game action when a team enters the red zone, during scheduled time slots at the :15 and :45 marks, and at other critical moments in a game. The show also features replays, in-game highlights and analysis from that night's action, and the halftime show featuring host Rich Eisen and analysts Steve Mariucci, Marshall Faulk and Deion Sanders.

"Sprint continues to drive innovation with NFL fans," said Steve Gaffney, Sprint's director of sports sponsorships. "Fans tell us they want to have the ability to watch live NFL game broadcasts on their phones and we're enabling them to do that."

The live telecast of NFL Network is available to Sprint subscribers round the clock via NFL Mobile and Sprint TV. Unlimited access to NFL Mobile is available with any Sprint Power Vision pack at no additional cost. To access NFL Mobile, Sprint customers can text "NFL" to 7777.

More than 1 million Sprint customers have downloaded NFL Mobile, and NFL Network continues to be the most popular channel on Sprint TV. NFL Mobile delivers stats and scores, official play-by-play, video highlights and customizable text alerts to Sprint subscribers faster than any other carrier with information updated every 10 seconds on game days.
