The NFL has created a Snapchat AR lens in order to mark its 100th season of football. Users will also be able to scan an NFL 100 logo to access historic footage. Underneath the footage of old NFL games, there is a count down to the start of the season. The NFL themed Snapchat AR Lens was created using the Marker system, which Snap developed in 2018. The Marker system is what allows users to scan images to access video content.
The company has indicated the NFL 100-themed lens will be accessible in Chicago. United States users can also access the lens by scanning the NFL 100 logo.
The NFL and Snap partnered in 2015, and the collaboration has been mutually beneficial. The NFL can promote its content on the platform, and Snap attracts more users who want to access NFL content.
