How to watch NFL games in 2025:<\/p>\n

Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV<\/a> (or setting up a digital TV antenna<\/a>) or finding a live TV streaming service that carries the correct RSN (Regional Sports Network). If you want to watch out-of-market games, a $7 monthly subscription to NFL+<\/a> will let you watch every out-of-market local and primetime game in the season on your phone \u2014 but only a select few regular-season games on your TV. You could also spring for the uber-expensive NFL Sunday Ticket package to get every out-of-market Sunday game of the season.<\/p>\n

When it comes to nationally broadcast games, NFL games typically air across ESPN, NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC and NFL Network. Thursday Night Football games stream exclusively on Prime Video<\/a>, select football games will stream exclusively on Peacock, games on CBS will stream live on Paramount+, and Monday Night Football games will air on ESPN or ABC and stream on the newly revamped ESPN+ this season. That’s six channels and four streaming platforms to keep up with this season \u2014 and that’s not counting your local RSN’s for in-market games and an NFL+ or NFL Sunday Ticket subscription for out-of-market games. Plus, Netflix<\/a> is once again hosting at least two Christmas Day matches, so add that subscription into the mix. And we can’t forget about Fox One<\/a>, Fox’s first streaming service, a place where you can also stream games airing on FOX (if you don’t already have access to it).<\/p>\n

Confused? You’re not alone. Here’s a breakdown of the platforms we recommend checking out ahead of the 2025 NFL season, so that come game time, tuning into your favorite team’s games will be as easy as simply turning on the TV.<\/p>\n

Fubo’s new skinny sports bundle, Fubo Sports, includes local broadcast stations owned-and-operated by ABC, CBS and FOX, plus additional affiliates in select markets, as well as ACC Network, Big 10 Network, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, Fox News, FS1, FS2, Fubo Sports Network, ION, NFL Network, SEC Network and Tennis Channel. It also includes free access to ESPN’s new ESPN+ unlimited plan. Fubo subscribers get unlimited cloud DVR storage too.<\/p>\n

The new Fubo Sports tier will be available starting September 2. You can get $10 off your first month, which brings the cost to $45.99; after that, it goes up to $55.99\/month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This new Fubo package has you covered for most nationally broadcast or in-market NFL games, and still leaves you with major savings compared to a traditional cable package.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The platform offers a free trial period, so you can check it out for a few days of the 2025 NFL season and decide if it’s right for you this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ProsFree trial availableUnlimited cloud DVR storageFree ESPN unlimited$45.99 for your first month at Fubo<\/a>\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

YouTube TV gets you nearly every channel you’ll need for the 2025 NFL season, including Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, ESPN and NFL Network.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Plus, YouTube is once again the home of NFL Sunday Ticket! The Sunday Ticket package, while pricey on its own (currently $276\/season for new subscribers), gets you ALL the Sunday out-of-market games (160+ games per season). You can also break the payment for this package down into $34.50\/month for 8 months, or add NFL RedZone to that package, which brings the total to $39.75\/month or $318 for the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you choose to bundle Sunday Ticket with YouTube TV, which gets you all the primetime games and every out-of-market Sunday game, the monthly cost for new users will start at $84.49 for the first three months, then shoot up to $117.50\/month. You can try YouTube TV (but not Sunday Ticket!) free for 10 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One thing to note: YouTube TV livestreams have a tendency to run on a slight delay, which isn’t great if you’re trying to keep up with the game live down to the exact second. This is a fantastic package for a football superfan, but you’ll still need access to Prime Video, Peacock, ESPN+ and Netflix for those streaming exclusive games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DirecTV Stream is currently offering its Choice tier (typically $108+\/month with fees) for just $72.98 (after fees) for your first month.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

DirecTV Stream’s Choice tier gets you access to all the usual football suspects: NFL Network, ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox, plus ACC Network, Big Ten Network, SEC Network and plenty more local Regional Sports Networks. (If you want to avoid paying the RSN fees, the Entertainment Tier has plenty of channels you can catch NFL games on, too.)<\/p>\n

Whichever package you choose, you’ll get unlimited Cloud DVR storage and access to ESPN+’s new streaming tier, ESPN unlimited.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The best part is, currently, you can try all this out free for 5 days. So if you’re interested in trying out a live TV streaming service for football season, but aren’t ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV Stream.\u00a0<\/p>\n
