Nearly a month ago, Sony revealed that PlayStation Vue, their streaming TV service had surpassed 100,000 subscribers in the US with most insiders believing that the actual number being actually closer to 120k. Now with the NFL season nearly upon us, Sony is looking at new ways to entice users and make their service more complete.

Dwayne Benefield, Vice President, head of PlayStation Vue writes on the PS Blog:

 As NFL training camps get underway, we’re excited to announce that football fans will soon have access to NFL Network and NFL RedZone on PlayStation Vue. With both channels launching in time for the NFL regular season this fall, fans can enjoy watching their favorite gridiron matchups using PlayStation Vue’s unique TV streaming features, including cloud DVR, powerful search and discovery tools, and simultaneous streaming, which allows users on the same account to watch the networks on multiple devices at the same time. 

Dwayne, not The Rock, Benefield went on:

 Fans can catch NFL Network’s Thursday Night Football games, along with popular shows such as NFL GameDay Morning, A Football Life, Timeline, wall-to-wall news and fantasy coverage from around the NFL, and much more. With NFL RedZone, fans can watch the big moments from NFL games on Sunday afternoons, featuring cuts from stadium to stadium and delivering the most exciting plays as they happen. 

PlayStation Vue is sure getting more and more enticing. While there was a long lull period where seemingly nothing was happening with the service, it’s clear that Sony was hard at work behind the scenes with negotiations and we’re finally seeing the results of it the past few months.

It’s worth noting that while the deal has been announced, no specific launch date has yet to be revealed for the NFL Network to arrive on Vue – though it’s been guaranteed to be here by the season opener in September so you won’t have to wait long.
