There are several ways to watch NFL games for free in 2025, depending on location and access to certain services:
- In the UK, Channel 5 (rebranded as 5) streams two NFL Sunday games live every week for free. Using a VPN can allow watching these streams outside the UK by connecting to a UK server.
- In the US, using an antenna to access local CBS, FOX, ABC, and NBC channels allows free viewing of NFL games broadcast on these networks.
- Twitch streams Thursday Night Football games for free, so viewers can watch some games without a paid subscription.
- The NFL app and NFL Channel offer free game day coverage, replays, and game highlights, though not all live games.
- Some streaming services offer free trials lasting from 3 to 5 days, such as Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV, and fuboTV, allowing temporary access to NFL games without payment.
- Sports bars and restaurants with NFL Sunday Ticket subscriptions can be visited to watch games for free in a social setting, using DirecTV's Sports Bar Finder app to locate such venues.
- Using a VPN to access international versions of NFL Game Pass or streaming services can also grant access to live games and replays, as some content is geographically restricted.
Therefore, watching NFL games for free can be done mainly through free over- the-air broadcasts, free streaming options like Twitch, free trials on streaming platforms, and free-to-air channels in some regions. For full access, paid subscriptions are generally required. If interested in specific methods based on a region or device, more detailed guidance can be provided.
