NFL to Offer Blacked-Out Games Free (But Delayed) on NFL.com

National Football League ticket sales haven’t been immune to the effects of the sluggish economy and, as a result, several games are in danger of being blacked out in their home markets due to not selling out. However, the league reached a partial solution.

Starting at midnight the day the game is played and extending for 72 hours, fans will be able to view blacked-out games free-of-charge on NFL.com, The Washington Post‘s The League reported.

Under NFL rules, games can be blacked out in the local market if they are not sold out within 72 hours of kickoff.
