Verizon on Wednesday announced early access to its new “+play” in beta and is offering a free year of Netflix’s premium plan with the purchase of select subscription services through the exclusive content hub.
The 12-months of Netflix – worth $240 — comes with a 12-month or seasonal subscription from +play partners including NFL+, NBA League Pass, AMC+, the Peloton App and others, Verizon said. It’s available for a limited time during early access.
“The platform reflects Verizon’s core commitment to serve the changing needs of consumers, who are empowered – more than ever – to choose the kinds of content and experiences they want, and the platform is a marketplace for content partners to leverage even broader direct-to-consumer reach and engagement,” said Verizon chief content officer Erin McPherson.

NFL+, NBA League Pass, HBO Max, Netflix, Peloton, A+E Networks (Lifetime Movie Club, History Vault, and A&E Crime Central), The Athletic, Calm and Duolingo are new partners. It said more will come in 2023.
