The 2024 NFL season is in full swing. There are 285 NFL games needed to crown a Super Bowl winner this year but we've already played most of them. The regular season wraps up this month and only the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl will remain by the time the month is over.
But even with a good chunk of those 285 games already played, there is still a lot left to go. And if you look at our guide on how to watch every NFL live stream, you'll notice that you need a lot of streaming services to watch all of them.
Further complicating things, this season has plenty of games that are exclusive to certain streaming services, like Prime Video and Netflix. Thankfully, while Paramount Plus also offers NFL games, you can at least watch those games on CBS or NFL Sunday Ticket, so you don't need to subscribe to Paramount Plus to watch the NFL this year.
So if you need to know how much it costs to watch every second of football remaining, here’s a quick guide to the streaming services you’ll need to subscribe to each month to watch every game remaining in the 2024 season. We also tell you how much these services all cost if you want to watch every single game this season.
Season-long subscriptions
If you want to watch every game during the day on Sunday, you'll need NFL Sunday Ticket. Sunday Ticket offers every out-of-market NFL game that kicks off on Sunday afternoons (Eastern time zone).
Normally, Sunday Ticket through YouTube TV is $479, though you can save an additional $100 if you subscribe through YouTube TV. That does require having a YouTube TV subscription, which costs $72.99 a month. But since Sunday Ticket doesn't cover your local games, it's good to just combine it with YouTube TV to make sure you don't miss a second of the Sunday afternoon games.
Alternatively, you can check out our best antennas to get games from Fox, CBS, ABC and NBC over the air, provided your local station is showing them. But you will miss out on some ESPN-exclusive Monday Night Football games. So we still lean towards combining a Sunday Ticket subscription with YouTube TV.
Update (January 2): For Week 18 only, NFL Sunday Ticket will cost just $4.99.
So, to recap, if you want to watch every single game of the 2024-25 NFL season for the least amount of money possible, you'll want to get Sunday Ticket and YouTube TV together.
Based on the current subscription costs, it'll cost you $124.97 to watch the remaining Sunday afternoon games this NFL season. That includes a season-long subscription to Sunday Ticket ($4.99) through YouTube TV and two months (Jan.-Feb.) of YouTube TV ($119.98).
NFL Sunday Ticket + YouTube TV cost: $124.97
January
Okay, so with NFL Sunday Ticket and YouTube TV, you have access to every NFL game on Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC, ESPN and NFL Network. Thankfully, that covers a lot of football.
Unfortunately, though, it doesn't cover every single game. You'll still need Prime Video to get an exclusive Wild Card playoff game the weekend of January 11-12. The exact date, time and matchup is still TBD, but once it's scheduled, we'll update this section accordingly.
Now, here's the good news. While you can sign up for Prime Video a la carte, you can also get it included in your Amazon Prime subscription. Normally, that will set you back $139 per year, but with a 30-day free trial, you can sign up, watch the exclusive playoff game for free and then cancel your Prime subscription without spending a dime.

TBD: NFL Wild Card game
January streaming subscriptions cost: $0
February
Don't worry. Your YouTube TV subscription is enough to watch Super Bowl 2025 on Fox.
In fact, you could cancel your subscription to the cable alternative this month and use an antenna. However, that might ultimately not save you much money if you opt for a quality antenna.
How much it'll cost
Okay, let's recap.
For the rest of the 2024-2025 NFL season, you’ll need to sign up for NFL Sunday Ticket. With just Week 18 of the regular season remaining, that's now just $4.99 for the rest of the Sunday Ticket games.
To get local market games, as well as many playoff games, you'll also need YouTube TV. This gets you Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC and ESPN and is normally $82.99/month. Right now though, you can get the remaining two months of the season for $119.98 thanks to a promotional intro rate.
NFL Sunday Ticket: $4.99
YouTube TV: $119.98 (two months)
To watch this year's exclusive Wild Card playoff game you’ll need a subscription to Prime Video. You can get Prime Video with an Amazon Prime membership for $15/month or $139/year; but if you cancel Prime before your 30-day free trial is up, you get to watch Prime's remaining NFL game for free.
Prime Video: $0 (with a 30-day free trial that you then cancel)
TOTAL: $124.97
With the 2024 NFL season entering the home stretch, it's finally relatively affordable to watch every single remaining game.
Discounts
At this stage in the season, there isn't really a good way to save more than what we've already laid out in this article. The biggest way to save would be opting for one of the best TV antennas we've reviewed for as little as $17. It won't get you every game, but any games in your local market on NBC, ABC, Fox and CBS would become available to you free over the air.
