To stream NFL games in 2025, there are several options depending on the type of games and channels:
- Sunday afternoon games are broadcast on CBS and Fox.
- Sunday night games air on NBC.

- YouTube TV ($83/month) offers all major NFL channels including local ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN, and NFL Network and supports multi-view and NFL Sunday Ticket (though Sunday Ticket does not include local games).
- Fubo ($85/month) and Hulu with Live TV ($83/month) also offer all major NFL channels including the NFL Network.
- Direct-to-consumer streaming services include Paramount Plus (CBS games), Fox One (Fox games), Peacock (NBC games), and ESPN DTC (ESPN and ABC games) which together cost less but require switching between services.

- NFL+ subscription offers mobile streaming of live local and prime games, NFL Network, and NFL RedZone.

The most comprehensive and user-friendly way to stream NFL games live is YouTube TV, which provides all key channels and features for $83 per month, plus optional add-ons for RedZone and Sunday Ticket. However, for the absolute lowest monthly cost covering all games, subscribing to the four direct-to- consumer services (ESPN DTC, Fox One, Paramount Plus, and Peacock) is possible but less seamless.
