Verizon customers with NFL Mobile can watch the Super Bowl on their handset for free

It's Super Bowl Sunday and Verizon has some great news for those with the NFL Mobile app on their phone. As long as you are a Verizon customer and installed the app, you will be able to watch Sunday's contest between the Patriots and the Giants for free from your smartphone. During the regular season, Verizon streamed NFL Network for free to those using the NFL Mobile app over Big Red's 4G LTE pipeline. Those with 3G phones could subscribe to VCAST Video and also have NFL Networks streamed over their handset.

We just got off the phone with Verizon and can confirm that it doesn't matter whether or not you are a VCAST subscriber or have an LTE enabled phone. Just as long as you have NFL Mobile on your phone, you will be able to view Super Bowl 46 on your Verizon phone without paying a cent. Verizon took over control of the NFL Mobile app from Sprint before the NFL Draft in 2010 and just completed its second regular season with the exclusive rights to the application.

Super Bowl 46 is expected to kickoff at 6:29pm Eastern time on Sunday.
