Do you know you can watch NFL games even if you’ve cut off your cable network? You’ll need a live television streaming subscription rather than an on-demand service like Disney+ or Netflix to watch the big game online.
Here’s a list of the top NFL game streaming services, including specialized providers and more generic ones offering access to various other sports, TV shows, and movies. Watching this will allow you to be informed about how the NFL picks are changing and also know which team would be a better option.

Hulu
CBS, ESPN, FOX, and NBC are just some networks available through Hulu + Live TV for anyone looking to catch a live NFL game. Hulu now provides NFL Network as a standalone channel and NFL RedZone as part of a $10 monthly Sports add-on. The subscription also includes access to BTN and the Golf Channel, among other sports-related media. ESPN Deportes’ international sports coverage is available to subscribers of the Espaol add-on (for an additional $4.99 monthly).
You can upgrade Hulu’s technical capabilities by purchasing either the Enhanced Cloud DVR, which doubles the amount of DVR storage to 200 hours (from 50), or the Infinite Screens, which lets you watch on an unlimited number of screens at home (and up to three screens elsewhere) at once. Each service would cost $9.99 per month, but you can have both for just $14.98. While most of Hulu’s on-demand library can be viewed in 1080p, the service’s original productions are now available in 4K on some devices. Live streaming in 1080p at 60 frames per second is also supported.
Peacock
All Sunday Night Football games and the big game are available to subscribers of Peacock’s Premium and Premium Plus packages. Peacock also broadcasts the National Football League’s games and holds the streaming rights to the IndyCar series, the Premier League’s soccer matches, the PGA Tour’s golf tournaments, and WWE’s programming (including PPV events). An extensive collection of popular on-demand series and movies is available on Peacock, some of which are original productions. Premium Plus subscribers can watch most on-demand programming without commercial interruptions and download items for offline playback on mobile devices for $9.99 per month.
YouTube TV
YouTube TV includes CBS, ESPN, FOX, and NBC, all broadcasting NFL games. There’s even the NFL Network, perfect for true football fans. Those interested in the NFL RedZone channel can subscribe to YouTube’s Sports Plus plan for an additional $10.99 monthly.
For fans of other popular American sports, Golf Channel, MLB Network, NBA TV, Olympic Channel, and Tennis Channel are also available. Add-on services, such as FOX Soccer Plus ($15/mo) and NBA League Pass ($39.99/mo), are available for a monthly cost. Besides the best music videos and shows, YouTube TV has the latest news and events.
If you wish to save the football action for later, you can use YouTube TV. Up to three devices can watch content simultaneously, and six accounts can be used with YouTube TV’s unlimited cloud DVR storage (up to nine months of content). That’s a lot of helpful options for families with multiple viewers interested in different shows airing simultaneously. Only a few other providers offer live streaming of networks in 1080p quality, but YouTube TV is one of them. With the new 4K Plus upgrade, you can watch live TV from chosen channels in 4K, access DVR recordings without an internet connection, and stream to an endless number of devices in your house.
However, not all live TV streaming services are created equal, and some lack critical stations that NFL fans need to watch the game. Remember to include additional features and streaming services in your package as you compare prices. It would help if you went with the alternatives we’ve provided.
