Genius Sports Limited (“Genius Sports”) (NYSE:GENI) has expanded its partnership with the National Football League (“NFL”) to power NFL+, the NFL’s video streaming subscription service, with data-driven on-screen graphic overlays and visualizations that bring the live action to life in real time. These live stream enhancements draw fans into the game by presenting viewers with a unique opportunity to interact with split-second game developments and eye-popping metrics.
Available across devices in the United States, NFL+ provides fans with access to live local and primetime regular season and postseason games (phone and tablet only) as well as a live stream of NFL Network and NFL RedZone.
Starting this weekend, Genius Sports will provide two new customized viewing modes for every NFL+ game this season.

Genius Sports’ technology will enable fans with a passion for strategy and insights to dive more deeply into the game than ever before, personalizing their viewing experience by selecting between:
- NFL+ Stats Stream featuring player names, player location, player speeds, and box score player stats.
- NFL+ Vision Stream including ground-breaking open receiver identification and player trails as well as player names, player location and player speeds.
