How to watch NFL games in 2025:
Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna) or finding a live TV streaming service that carries the correct RSN (Regional Sports Network). If you want to watch out-of-market games, a $7 monthly subscription to NFL+ will let you watch every out-of-market local and primetime game in the season on your phone — but only a select few regular-season games on your TV. You could also spring for the uber-expensive NFL Sunday Ticket package to get every out-of-market Sunday game of the season.

When it comes to nationally broadcast games, NFL games typically air across ESPN, NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC and NFL Network. Thursday Night Football games stream exclusively on Prime Video, select football games will stream exclusively on Peacock, games on CBS will stream live on Paramount+ and Monday Night Football games will air on ESPN or ABC and stream on the newly revamped ESPN+ this season. That’s six channels and four streaming platforms to keep up with this season — and that’s not counting your local RSN’s for in-market games and an NFL+ or NFL Sunday Ticket subscription for out-of-market games. Plus, Netflix is once again hosting at least two Christmas Day matches, so add that subscription to the mix. And we can’t forget about Fox One, Fox’s first streaming service, a place where you can also stream games airing on FOX (if you don’t already have access to it).
Confused? You’re not alone. Here’s a breakdown of the platforms we recommend checking out ahead of the 2025 NFL season, so that come game time, tuning into your favorite team’s games will be as easy as simply turning on the TV.
Fubo’s new skinny sports bundle, Fubo Sports, includes local broadcast stations owned-and-operated by ABC, CBS and FOX, plus additional affiliates in select markets, as well as ACC Network, Big 10 Network, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, Fox News, FS1, FS2, Fubo Sports Network, ION, NFL Network, SEC Network and Tennis Channel. It also includes free access to ESPN’s new ESPN+ Unlimited plan. Fubo subscribers get unlimited cloud DVR storage too.
The new Fubo Sports tier will be available starting Sept. 2. You can get $10 off your first month, which brings the cost to $45.99; after that, it goes up to $55.99/month.
This new Fubo package has you covered for most nationally broadcast or in-market NFL games, and still leaves you with major savings compared to a traditional cable package.
The platform offers a free trial period, so you can check it out for a few days of the 2025 NFL season and decide if it’s right for you this year.
- Free trial available
- Unlimited cloud DVR storage
- Free ESPN Unlimited
- Entirely sports-focused
YouTube TV gets you nearly every channel you’ll need for the 2025 NFL season, including Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, ESPN and NFL Network.
Plus, YouTube is once again the home of NFL Sunday Ticket! The Sunday Ticket package, while pricey on its own (currently $276/season for new subscribers), gets you ALL the Sunday out-of-market games (160+ games per season). You can also break the payment for this package down into $34.50/month for 8 months, or add NFL RedZone to that package, which brings the total to $39.75/month or $318 for the season.
If you choose to bundle Sunday Ticket with YouTube TV, which gets you all the primetime games and every out-of-market Sunday game, the monthly cost for new users will start at $84.49 for the first three months, then shoot up to $117.50/month. You can try YouTube TV (but not Sunday Ticket!) free for 10 days.
One thing to note: YouTube TV livestreams have a tendency to run on a slight delay, which isn’t great if you’re trying to keep up with the game live down to the exact second. This is a fantastic package for a football superfan, but you’ll still need access to Prime Video, Peacock, ESPN+ and Netflix for those streaming exclusive games.
- Offers NFL Sunday Ticket bundle
- Offers almost every channel you need for NFL games
- High cost
- Locked into YouTube TV Base Plan with the Sunday Ticket bundle
- Known for broadcast delays

Packers WR Christian Watson returns to practice for first time since ACL injury in January
Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are close to returning one of their key offensive weapons. Wide receiver Christian Watson practiced Monday for the first time since tearing his ACL in the 2024 regular-season finale. He now has 21 days to be activated from the reserve/physically unable to perform list to the 53-man roster.Watson suffered the torn ACL vs. the Chicago Bears on Jan. 5, so he's just nine months removed from the injury. The fact that he feels good enough to practice is certainly a step in the right direction. The former No. 34 overall pick out of North Dakota State signed a new contract while sidelined; the Packers gave him a one-year, $13.25 million deal last month. In 2024, Watson caught 29 passes for a career-high 620 yards and two touchdowns, while averaging a whopping 21.4 yards per reception.Watson […]
Kyler Murray laments Cardinals’ mistakes in stunning loss to Titans: ‘How to Lose a Game 101’
The Arizona Cardinals seemingly pulled a loss out of thin air on Sunday when they blew a 21-3 lead, fell on the wrong side of two astonishing plays and ultimately lost to the Tennessee Titans in a 22-21 stunner. Quarterback Kyler Murray said that game "might be No. 1" in terms of how frustrated he has ever felt after a loss. Considering the meltdown it took to squander a three-possession lead, his displeasure was warranted. Heartbreaking losses have become the norm for the Cardinals, who in Week 5 became the first team in NFL history to lose three consecutive games on walk-off field goals. "I don't really know what to think about that," Murray said. "I don't even know. I really don't even know. That's 'How to Lose a Game 101.' I don't know. That was crazy." The misfortunes began […]
Dak Prescott Playing Like an MVP While Carrying the Depleted Cowboys
<!--> [--> Ralph Vacchiano NFL Reporter <!--> --> EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Meadowlands had all but emptied out by the time the Dallas Cowboys were done with the New York Jets on Sunday, but a loud group waited around to send a message to their hero. And as Dak Prescott left the field and headed toward the locker room, he smiled when he heard what they were chanting:"M-V-P!""I mean, my ears work, so I heard it," the Cowboys quarterback said. "But I didn’t hear it. It’s Week 5."It may only be five weeks into the NFL season, but it’s OK for him to listen, at least for a moment. Because those fans are right. Nearly one third of the way through the season, Prescott is the MVP of the league. Dak Prescott heads off the field Sunday after another […]
Why Amen Thompson is in prime position to turn into the player Ben Simmons could have become
When news broke that Fred VanVleet tore his ACL during a summer workout, which will likely cost him the entire 2025-26 season, two names immediately came to mind for Rockets fans. The first was Reed Sheppard, the 2024 No. 3 overall pick who didn't do much as a rookie but suddenly finds himself in position to potentially play a vital role on a possible championship contender. The second was Amen Thompson, who, unlike Sheppard, has already declared himself one of the league's most unique weapons and fastest rising stars entering his third season. Barring a trade for an established point guard, both Sheppard and Thompson are going to get their chance to run the show. What Sheppard does with this opportunity will be interesting, but what Thompson does with it will be fascinating. It feels like it could be the start to […]
‘These fans are phenomenal’: Mariners Cap Off Epic Seattle Sports Weekend
<!--> [--> Rowan Kavner MLB Writer <!--> --> SEATTLE - When a weekend of sports heaven in Seattle threatened to devolve into a living hell for the local fans, Jorge Polanco and Julio Rodriguez offered salvation. Entering Game 2 of the American League Division Series, the Mariners had gone nearly a quarter of a century since their last home playoff win. They hadn’t won a postseason game in Seattle since Oct. 15, 2001, when Dan Wilson was their catcher. Twenty-four years later, now the manager of the club he played for, Wilson insisted the weight of that drought did not add any more pressure to a Mariners season that was supposed to break the mold. But the reality was obvious in a 3-2 win on Sunday that exorcised the demons of a long-suffering fanbase. <!-->It was obvious in the home clubhouse before the […]
