The app is free and users do not have to create a Twitter account and will feature all the live streaming video available on the network.

"NFL's Thursday Night Football games will all be streamed free via the app as well as content from MLB, the NBA, and media organisations including Bloomberg News," technology website The Verge reported on Wednesday.

For the Xbox One, the app will be available in the US, Britain, Australia, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico.

For Amazon's Fire TV and the Fire TV Stick the app will be available only in the US and Britain.
