This feature is customizable to a fantasy football player's roster or for specific teams. With information updated every two seconds, NFL Mobile allows users to claim bragging rights when it comes to real-time NFL player stats and scores.

NFL Mobile users can create customizable text message alerts to ensure delivery of the kind of information they want, when they want it. Alerts will be sent at selected times such as when a player or team scores, when specific teams enter the red zone, at the end of each quarter or game, or as official NFL injury reports are issued. When fans receive a text alert, the information emanates directly from the NFL's database making NFL Mobile a powerful fantasy football tool. Sprint subscribers must opt-in to receive the text alerts, and standard text messaging charges apply.

NFL Mobile users will also receive game video and audio highlights. Only NFL Mobile delivers wireless video highlights of NFL games, which will be available at the conclusion of every game (excluding video for games played on Monday nights). Audio highlights will be available for both the home and road teams' radio broadcasts during every game of the season with highlights posted at the end of each quarter and shortly after the conclusion of each game.

The NFL Mobile application, developed by mSpot, features simple navigation, real-time Gamecenter, team and player statistics, drive charts, scoreboard, and a multitude of NFL Network-produced video segments.

- Navigation - Icon-based side-bar menu enables quick navigation through NFL Mobile's content and can be "skinned" to a particular team's logo/colors.
- Gamecenter - A real-time graphical representation of the most current drive for each game including each play of the drive, the quarter and time remaining in the quarter, current score, down and distance, score board by quarter, and last-play description. Gamecenter will also provide a written narrative of the play-by-play for each sequential drive, starting from the current drive back to the first drive of the game.
- Team/Player Statistics - Sorted and presented by team, category and player (in that order), statistical categories will include all relative information including passing, receiving, rushing, two-point conversions, kicking, punting, kickoff returns, fumbles, interceptions, sacks and blocked kicks.
- Drive Charts - Graphic summaries for each drive of each game, including time of possession, yards gained, number of plays and result of each drive.
- Scores - Real-time scores for all games will be displayed on a single scoreboard in the following order: live games, completed games, upcoming games. Features include when a team is about to score ("Red-Zone Alert"), when a team scores, which team has possession of the ball, and direct links to a respective game's live play-by-play.
- NFL Video On-Demand - Video segments from popular NFL Network-produced pieces such as Super Bowl highlights, greatest players and rivalries, sounds of the game, and interviews and features of current former coaches and players.
- NFL Network - Sprint will continue to offer live, round-the-clock audio/video streaming of NFL Network's broadcast as well as a multitude of on-demand programming such as Total Access, Game of the Week and Player/Coach Interviews. NFL Network's live stream will be free to those who download the NFL Mobile application, marking the first time Sprint will offer live streaming of any television channel at no cost.

Additionally, NFL Mobile users will have easy access to the following content: NFL.com Fantasy Companion, ring tones, graphics, photos and logos, and the ability to personalize their service with their favorite team colors. Some of this content may be offered for a fee. NFL Mobile from Sprint can be downloaded by texting NFL to 7777 or via the Vision or Power Vision home deck.
