There is no single U.S. streaming subscription that carries every NFL game live. For local Sunday games, check CBS and FOX in your market; national games are split across networks and services. NFL+ is for live local and primetime games on phones or tablets, while NFL+ Premium adds replays. For live out-of-market Sunday afternoon games, the NFL identifies Sunday Ticket as the route—and it is separate from NFL+.

How can you watch NFL games live?

The right outlet depends on the game window, your location, and the channels or services you have. NFL support’s live-game guide assigns games by broadcast window as follows; individual matchups and availability can change:

  • Sunday afternoon in your local market: CBS or FOX.
  • Sunday Night Football: NBC.
  • Monday Night Football: ESPN or ABC.
  • Thursday Night Football and the Black Friday game: Amazon Prime Video.
  • Selected exclusive games: NFL Network.
  • Other designated games: The NFL guide lists YouTube for the São Paulo Week 1 game and Netflix for exclusive Christmas Day games.

For local broadcast games, an over-the-air antenna may be an option if the relevant station is available at your location and reception is adequate. It does not provide out-of-market games. On connected-TV apps or NFL.com in a desktop browser, a live broadcast may require you to sign in through a supported cable or streaming provider; having NFL+ alone does not unlock every game on a television.

What do NFL+ and NFL+ Premium include?

NFL+ is primarily a mobile live-viewing option. NFL+ Premium adds the NFL’s described replay formats, as well as RedZone and NFL Pro; neither tier is a substitute for Sunday Ticket.

These are dated prices from NFL support, not a guarantee of current pricing. Confirm the price and terms before subscribing.

Can NFL+ show out-of-market Sunday afternoon games?

No. NFL support identifies NFL Sunday Ticket as the option for Sunday afternoon games outside your designated broadcast region. It is available through YouTube and YouTube TV, and is separate from both NFL+ tiers. This is the relevant option if you want to follow a team whose Sunday afternoon games are outside your local market. Check YouTube or YouTube TV for current package terms.

How can you watch NFL games on demand?

For replays, NFL+ Premium is the NFL support-described option that includes full-game, condensed-game, and All-22 coaches-film versions. NFL+ includes NFL library programming, but the support description does not assign it Premium’s three replay formats. Sunday Ticket’s replay terms are not established in the NFL support information summarized here, so confirm those directly with the current provider package before choosing it for on-demand viewing.

How do you find the channel for a game in your area?

Use the NFL’s Ways to Watch guide to personalize the schedule for your ZIP code and the services you already have. It lists TV and cable, over-the-air broadcasts, and streaming options including NFL+, Sunday Ticket, FOX One, Peacock, Paramount+, ESPN, Amazon Prime, and Netflix.

  1. Open the NFL Ways to Watch guide and enter your ZIP code.
  2. Select the TV, cable, or streaming services you have.
  3. Find the matchup and check the listed channel or service, then confirm that the provider’s current channel lineup includes it.
  4. Check again near game day if a matchup is flex-scheduled. The guide notes that flexed games are tentative and some Week 17 and Week 18 time slots are assigned later.

Broadcast rights, blackout restrictions, market boundaries, and schedule changes can affect availability. Confirm the specific matchup in the guide rather than assuming that a service carries every game in a listed window.
