To watch NFL games in 2025, there are several ways depending on the game type and platform preference:
- Use a TV antenna to access local CBS, FOX, NBC, and ABC broadcasts for Sunday afternoon games, Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football (some games), and special games on these networks.
- Stream Thursday Night Football mostly on Amazon Prime Video (also available for free on Twitch).
- Subscribe to NFL+ for mobile streaming of live local and primetime games, NFL RedZone, and NFL Network content.
- Use streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, or Fubo that offer live TV packages including all necessary channels (CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, ABC).
- Alternatively, subscribe separately to ESPN's new direct-to-consumer streaming service, Fox One, Paramount+, and Peacock to cover NFL games across networks without cable.
- Netflix will stream some Christmas Day games in 2025.
- Amazon Prime Video will stream Thursday Night Football games (except Week 1 and Thanksgiving).
YouTube TV is especially noted as a good single subscription choice covering all major football channels and NFL Sunday Ticket, with multi-view support. Costs and access vary by region and service combination. Using a combination of an antenna and streaming subscriptions provides the most comprehensive coverage of all NFL games live.
