To watch NFL games in 2025, there are multiple options depending on the type of games and preferred viewing method:

• Thursday Night Football is exclusively streamed on Prime Video starting from the second week.
• Sunday afternoon games for AFC teams air on CBS (streamed on Paramount+), and for NFC teams on FOX (streamed on Fox One).
• Sunday Night Football is broadcast on NBC and streamed on Peacock.
• Monday Night Football is on ESPN, ABC, and ESPN+, available via ESPN Unlimited subscription.
• NFL Network airs select games and can be streamed via the NFL app on devices.
• Netflix streams two special Christmas Day games.
• YouTube will broadcast a special international game this season.

For watching without cable, digital TV antennas can pick up local broadcasts (ABC, CBS, FOX). Alternatively, live TV streaming services such as YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, or Fubo offer access to most channels including local NBC, CBS, ESPN, and NFL Network. There are also bundles and subscriptions that combine several streaming services for broader coverage:

• ESPN Unlimited + Fox One for Monday Night Football and NFC games on Sunday.
• Peacock for Sunday Night Football.
• Paramount+ for AFC games on Sunday afternoons.
• Prime Video for Thursday Night Football.
• Netflix for special holiday games.

For out-of-market games, which might be blacked out locally, NFL Sunday Ticket is the main legal streaming option but can be costly. Summary of popular streaming services for NFL in 2025:
