To watch any NFL game in the 2025 season, there are several options depending on the type of game, location, and platforms available:
- Local and National Broadcasts: Major national NFL games air on channels such as NBC, CBS, Fox, ESPN, and ABC. These can often be accessed over the air with a digital antenna or via cable TV subscriptions.
- Streaming Services: NFL games stream on multiple platforms including NFL+, Peacock, Paramount+ (for CBS games), ESPN+, Amazon Prime Video (for Thursday Night Football), and Netflix (for select games like Christmas Day). The NFL+ subscription allows streaming of local and primetime games on mobile devices and access to NFL Network live and exclusive games.
- NFL Sunday Ticket: For watching out-of-market Sunday games that are not available locally, the NFL Sunday Ticket package is available as an add-on through certain streaming services like YouTube TV.
- Antenna: A cost-effective way to watch all local games on the main broadcast networks (NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC) is to use a digital antenna to receive over-the-air broadcasts, which are free.
In summary, combining a digital antenna for local games with subscriptions to streaming services such as NFL+, Peacock, Paramount+, ESPN+, and Amazon Prime, or NFL Sunday Ticket for out-of-market games, will allow watching any NFL game in 2025. If preferred, some games can also be streamed for free on platforms like Twitch for Thursday Night Football and on YouTube for some special games. However, full coverage requires paid subscriptions. This multi-platform broadcast and streaming ecosystem means that watching every NFL game often requires multiple subscriptions or broadcasts combined.
