NBC Sports Live Extra is a web-based online television service operated by NBC Sports that broadcasts live events from the NBC television network, NBCSN, Golf Channel, and the company's regional networks (currently only available for NBA on Comcast SportsNet).[1] The application originally launched during the 2012 Summer Olympics, as NBC Olympics Live Extra, and later re-launched that summer under its present name (but re-converts to the "Olympics Live Extra" branding during coverage of each Games). Much like with chief competitors ESPN and Fox Sports, the Live Extra app requires authentication from participating television providers in order to access live programming. Live Extra is currently available only on Android, iOS, and Windows Phone smartphone and tablet devices, and the Amazon Fire, Apple TV and Roku streaming media players.

Due to exclusive rights held by Verizon Wireless, the service cannot stream National Football League games on smartphones.[2]

In the summer of 2016, NBC Sports launched a companion pay streaming application, NBC Sports Gold, which solely features live and on-demand cycling events, including extended coverage of Tour de France.
