Most users won’t want to watch the entire game on their smartphone or tablet, and thankfully we don’t have to. There’s a new Twitter app for Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and the Xbox One that will feature any and all live-streaming video content from Twitter.

These same apps will stream even more later this year from the NBA, PAC12 Networks, Campus Insider and others. Fans can also watch this content on smartphones and tablets with the CBS App, NBC Sports Live Extra, or the NFL Network app. Not to mention the games will be airing on Television like usual. Basically this gives us more ways to watch Football, and cord-cutters benefit the most. Users can also stream it from a computer to their HDTV over HDMI.
