The NFL schedule release essentially took TV news writers hostage this week. That’s not surprising considering how the NFL stands head-and-shoulders above other programming in terms of drawing ratings in the United States, but it leaves room for other key stories in streaming to be lost in the shuffle.

We’ve assembled a list of the most important stories in streaming you may not have caught this week, including the return of an NBA legend to TV, improving capabilities on a popular streaming device, and yes, more NFL news.

What are the stories in streaming you may have missed this week?

DAZN strikes deal to stream Club World Cup games commercially

The global sports streaming service DAZN made headlines in December when it announced that it would not only be streaming all games from the new FIFA Club World Cup in 2025; it will provide them for free. This week, the streamer announced that it had struck a deal with EverPass Media, which will help DAZN distribute Club World Cup matches in bars, restaurants, and other commercial establishments.

NFL, YouTube confirm plans to stream game free

On Monday, The Streamable joined other outlets in reporting that YouTube was close to a deal with the NFL to stream an opening-week game live for free. That arrangement was confirmed on Wednesday, when the NFL officially announced that the game scheduled for Friday, Sept. 5, between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil would be available to stream for free for all audiences on YouTube. It’s the latest example of the league finding a new streaming partner, but hey, at least this game will be free to watch.

Fubo agrees to deal with European League of Football

The European League of Football aims to bring American football to a new audience, and now it has a new TV partner to help further that goal. The ELF has agreed to a deal with Fubo to stream one game per week on the Fubo Sports free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel between May 17 and the end of the regular season, plus five playoff games. The Fubo Sports channel can be found on Prime Video, Plex, The Roku Channel, Sling Freestream, Tubi, and other FAST platforms.

Michael Jordan joins NBC’s NBA coverage

The NBA returns to NBC this fall and will also stream games on Peacock. When it debuts there, basketball fans will see a familiar face join the coverage: Michael Jordan. Jordan is coming to NBC as a special contributor, joining Jamal Crawford, Reggie Miller, and Carmelo Anthony as former NBA players who have agreed to join the NBC team for game broadcasts.

Apple TV update unlocks new Dolby Atmos feature

The Apple TV 4K is one of the most popular streaming devices on the market. The player has unleashed a new software update called tvOS version 18.5, and it comes with a great new feature that enhances surround sound: Wireless Audio Sync that supports Dolby Atmos. Now, viewers can use Dolby Atmos with their favorite content on Apple TV if they have speakers connected to the TV wirelessly, or via AirPlay.
