NFL and Cosm To Offer Games in ‘Shared Reality’

As a seasoned gamer and football enthusiast with countless hours spent cheering for my favorite teams, I must say the prospect of experiencing NFL games in “Shared Reality” is nothing short of mind-blowing! I’ve always yearned for the thrill of being at the stadium amidst the roaring crowd, the electric atmosphere, and the palpable tension that comes with every play.


The National Football League (NFL) is collaborating with the innovative entertainment firm, Cosm, to present matches in an interactive reality format known as “Shared Reality.” Currently, Cosm manages dome-shaped facilities in Los Angeles and Dallas, where they provide immersive virtual experiences for their patrons.

Through its collaboration with the NFL, fans will enhance their game viewing experience beyond just watching at home on a television screen. The term “Shared Reality” refers to an immersive experience that blends advanced visuals with the excitement of the audience and premium food and beverage offerings, essentially merging the virtual and physical worlds for a crowd-focused mixed reality setup.

As a gamer, I’d say, “To immerse myself fully, the gaming arenas are equipped with massive 12K+ LED screens, stretching a whopping 87 feet (27 meters) across, and seating arrangements are structured like a stadium, so I can feel like part of the action.

Jeb Terry, ex-NFL player and Cosm CEO, expressed that there’s simply no substitute for attending an NFL game live – the excitement, grandeur, and electric atmosphere of the stadium are unparalleled. At Cosm, our mission is to create an environment where fans who can’t make it to the stadium can still join in on the fun, connecting with fellow enthusiasts, cheering, and celebrating football together.

From the rest of the 2024-25 NFL season, live broadcasts of Monday, Thursday, and Sunday evening games will be streamed by Cosm. To enhance viewer experience, Cosm will deploy its own camera crew and production team at every NFL stadium, creating Shared Reality experiences.

Those interested in watching a Shared Reality NFL game can buy tickets on Cosm’s website.
