DirecTV, which supplies signal to five flat screens in my house, has just announced the NFL Mobile app. It doesn’t go live until September 13th, but you can download it now.

Once working, the app will let you watch live streams of all NFL Sunday Ticket football games, including the Red Zone channel. The Red Zone channel changes from game to game as the ball gets inside an opponent’s 20 yard line while a narrator explains just what’s going on.

The app also will display scores, statistics for players and teams, as well as video clips and highlights from each game. So far there has been no word as to whether video streaming will be available on 3G as well as Wi-Fi, but we’ll know soon enough.

For the privilege of using this free app, you need to plunk down $379.95 for programming. The NFL Season Ticket will run you $299.95 but that’s not good enough to run the app. Additionally you’ll need to toss in another $80 to buy the SuperFan package which gives you games in high-definition, stats and the Red Zone Channel, making the NFL Mobile app the most expensive free app in the world.

If you have DirecTV and an iPhone or iPod touch, you need to go and download the DirecTV app. With all the added functionality, you’ll feel much better about paying your monthly bill.

Download the DirecTV NFL Mobile app for Free from the AppStore. Compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch. Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later.
