The Best NFL Streaming Services for 2025

Hulu + Live TV features all the channels you need to watch NFL games, including CBS, ESPN, FOX, and NBC. Hulu added the NFL Network channel, and offers a Sports add-on ($10 per month) that includes NFL RedZone. Other sports channels on the service include BTN and the Golf Channel. You can also subscribe to the Español add-on ($4.99 per month) to get international sports coverage from ESPN Deportes.

Hulu + Live TV is an excellent choice for general audiences, with many popular news and entertainment channels. A subscription unlocks Hulu's expansive library of on-demand shows and movies, too. All subscribers now enjoy unlimited Cloud DVR. You can also add the Unlimited Screens package (it allows an unlimited number of concurrent device streams in your home, and up to three outside of it) to your plan for $9.99 per month. Although Hulu's on-demand content is available in 1080p, a few on-demand originals support 4K streaming on select platforms. The service supports 1080p/60fps live streams on some platforms, too.

If you subscribe to Peacock's Premium or Premium Plus plans, you can watch every Sunday Night Football game and the Super Bowl. Anyone can watch the season's first game between the Cowboys and the Buccaneers for free, too.

Aside from its NFL coverage, Peacock has streaming rights to Indy Car events, Premier League soccer matches, PGA Tour golf, and WWE content (including PPV events). Peacock is also home to a substantial library of popular on-demand shows and movies, including some original titles. You won't get any additional sports coverage by paying for the $13.99-per-month Premium Plus tier, but you will gain the ability to download titles for offline viewing on mobile platforms and to watch most on-demand content without ads.

For NFL coverage, YouTube TV offers CBS, ESPN, FOX, and NBC in its lineup. It even includes the NFL Network, which is great for die-hard NFL fans. If you want the NFL RedZone channel, you can pay for YouTube's $10.99-per-month Sports Plus add-on.

As for other national sports, the service includes the Golf Channel, MLB Network, NBA TV, Olympic Channel, and Tennis Channel. You can pay an extra monthly fee for the FOX Soccer Plus ($15 per month) and NBA League Pass ($39.99 per month) add-ons. YouTube TV also includes top news and entertainment channels.

YouTube TV is for viewers who want to record football action for later. With YouTube TV, you get unlimited cloud DVR storage (recordings are kept for up to nine months), up to three simultaneous device streams, and support for six user accounts. All those features are useful for when family members want to watch different programs that are set to air at the same time. YouTube TV is notably one of the few services that streams live channels in 1080p. A new 4K Plus add-on lets you stream select live channels in 4K, watch DVR recordings offline, and stream from an unlimited number of devices on your home network.

Amazon Prime Video now holds exclusive rights to Thursday Night NFL games, making it an essential streaming platform for NFL fans. Prime Video also added other live sports to its lineup, most notably WNBA games and select MLB games.

Amazon is for people who want to pay for sports-focused channels on the platform, including Paramount+ (and its Sunday NFL coverage), NBA League Pass, and PGA Tour Live. Amazon also produces the All or Nothing series, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at various professional sports teams. Amazon Prime's on-demand library of TV shows and movies (and especially its originals) make it an excellent choice for your on-demand streaming needs, as well.

Amazon Prime works on the web, mobile platforms (Android and iOS), media streaming devices (Apple TV 4K, Chromecast, Fire TV, and Roku), game consoles (PlayStation, Wii, and Xbox), and smart TVs. With Prime Video, you can stream content on up to three devices at the same time.

Fubo is an excellent option for NFL fans; it includes CBS, FOX, NBC, and the NFL Network. Fubo added Disney channels (including ESPN) to its channel lineups, which considerably improves the service's NFL coverage. You can also get the NFL RedZone channel via the $10.99 per month Sports Plus with NFL RedZone add-on.

Fubo is for all sports fans. It excels in its other sports coverage though with the Golf Channel, MLB Network, and NBA TV. International sports channels on the service include beIN Sports, GOL TV, and TUDN. Fubo's news and entertainment offerings are strong especially with the addition of Discovery and Viacom, even though it no longer has A&E or Turner channels.

Fubo's plans let you record unlimited hours of DVR content, which it keeps forever. All packages let you stream on three screens at once, but the Unlimited Screens add-on ($9.99 per month) increases that limit to 10 devices on your home network and two off of it. Other cool features of Fubo are Lookback, which lets you watch select sports programs up to 72 hours after they aired, and Startover, which enables you to restart certain live events from the beginning.

Fubo is available on the web or via dedicated apps for Android, iOS, Apple TV, Fire TV, Chromecast, and Roku devices. Note that while most of Fubo's live streams are limited to 720p, it airs select live programming in 4K, including NFL games. Most of its on-demand content can be streamed in at least 1080p.

ESPN+'s value to NFL fans is that it includes simulcasts of ESPN2's Monday Night Football broadcast with Eli and Peyton Manning this season. Otherwise, ESPN+ has a few NFL commentary shows in its lineup, including NFL PrimeTime and The Fantasy Show. As for other live sports, ESPN+ includes tons of out-of-market NHL games, select MLB games; national and international soccer league matches, and various NCAA events. UFC fans must also go through ESPN+ for PPV events.

ESPN+ is for viewers who the polished experience they expect from such a big name. ESPN+'s live streams appeared to hit the 1080/60fps mark, which is great for sports fans. A higher streaming resolution means a more detailed picture, while higher refresh rates help smooth out fast action. It supports up to three simultaneous streams per account, but it does not offer DVR storage. ESPN+ is available on the web, but you can download a dedicated app on mobile platforms (Android and iOS), media streaming devices (Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV, and Roku), and gaming consoles (PlayStation 4 and 5; Xbox One, Series S|X; and Oculus Go).

NFL+ (previously NFL Game Pass) gives NFL fans access to replays of every NFL game (including playoff matchups and the Super Bowl) each season regardless of their location. No other streaming service offers that capability. Game replays are typically available shortly after the live broadcast concludes. The service also includes live audio feeds of games and in-market preseason games, and live local and primetime games on mobile devices.

NFL+ one of the best options for people who do not live in their favorite team's local market. Although some football fans might not like the prospect of watching games after they air. NFL+ supports streams of up to 1080p/60fps depending on the broadcast, but it no longer offers some of the genuinely useful playback features that it previously did. The condensed replay mode is still available, but the options to watch multiple replays simultaneously and listen to audio replays are gone. The service should also let subscribers download game replays on mobile devices for offline viewing.

NFL Sunday Ticket is the only service we've reviewed that lets you watch every out-of-market regular-season game live on Sunday. It's the best option for football fans who don't live in their favorite team's broadcast market. However, NFL Sunday Ticket is very expensive and does not include live Thursday night, in-market Sunday afternoon, Sunday night, or Monday night football games by default.

If you want to watch out-of-market Sunday football games legally, NFL Sunday Ticket is your only option. Fortunately, the move from creaky cable to online YouTube has given the service a nice boost. We like features such as customizable closed captions, unlimited simultaneous streams, and the ability to watch multiple games at once through the intuitive interface. You can access NFL Sunday Ticket on any mobile or streaming platform that supports YouTube TV.

Paramount+ enables Premium subscribers ($12.99 per month) to stream a live feed of local CBS broadcast channels, which means you can watch live NFL games. You can also watch on-demand episodes of NFL Slimetime. Other sports on this service include the NCAA March Madness tournament, select PGA Tour events, and lots of national and international soccer (Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Concacaf, Liga Profesional de Fútbol, National Women’s Soccer League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Europa Conference League).

As the streaming hub for CBS, Paramount+ has more to watch for viewers who care about content beyond football. Paramount+ includes access to a decent library of on-demand network TV shows and original too, such as The Good Fight, Star Trek: Discovery, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. In addition to watching Paramount+ on the web, you can download apps for mobile platforms (Android and iOS), media streaming devices (Android TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV, and Roku), gaming consoles (Xbox and PlayStation 4), and smart TVs (LG, Samsung, and Vizio). The service supports up to three simultaneous streams per account on all plans, but the ability to download titles for offline viewing and access 4K content is restricted to the more expensive ad-free plan.

Sling TV splits its sports coverage across its Orange and Blue plan, with ESPN channels on the former, and NFL Network and NBC on the latter. You have to pay for the combined Orange + Blue Package ($60 per month) to get its complete NFL coverage. NBC and FOX affiliates are available in select markets for those with at least a Sling Blue plan, but if you want to watch games that air on ABC, you need to set up an antenna, which partially defeats the purpose of getting a video streaming service in the first place. Sling also lacks CBS affiliate channels.

Sling TV empowers viewers who want to customize their streaming packages. Sports fans may want to subscribe to the Sports Extra add-on ($10 per month) to get beIN Sports, ESPN U, Golf Channel, MLB Network, NBA TV, and NHL Network.

Sling TV doesn't let you simultaneously stream Orange channels on multiple devices, but you can stream Blue channels on up to three devices at the same time. Sling includes 50 hours of DVR storage for free, with an optional upgrade to 200 hours for an extra $5 per month. You can watch Sling TV on your mobile phone, streaming device, Xbox console (but not PlayStation), and the web.

NFL fans should consider DirecTV Stream's Entertainment plan, which includes the channels needed to watch big games: CBS, FOX, and NBC. However, you must pay more (the Choice Plan is $114.99 per month) to get the Golf Channel and RSNs. DirecTV Stream lacks the NFL Network.

With its local and national channels, DirecTV Stream helps you track the tricky world of regional sports networks. It offers 20 hours of DVR storage and keeps recordings for up to 90 days. Most other services let users save more hours of programming and for longer. Sports fans will appreciate DirecTV Stream's Lookback and Rewind capabilities, which let you watch previously aired content (up to 72 hours in the past) and restart live streams from the beginning of the broadcast, respectively. Note, however, that these features are only available for select channels and programs.

DirecTV Stream supports an impressive 20 simultaneous streams per account on your home network and up to three outside it. The service is available on media streaming devices, mobile platforms, and the web, but not gaming consoles.
