You can watch NFL games for free in some countries and through certain platforms:

• In the US, all Thursday Night Football games are streamed for free on Twitch. Also, the very first game of the season between the LA Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs was streamed free on YouTube. For other games, free viewing options are more limited and often require trials or subscriptions.
• In the UK, Channel 5 (streaming on their 5 website and app) broadcasts two games every Sunday and Monday Night Football for free.
• In Australia, the Seven Network and 7plus streaming service broadcast Thursday night games, two Sunday afternoon games, playoffs, and the Super Bowl for free.
• In New Zealand, three matches per week are shown free on the Duke channel and TVNZ+ streaming platform, including playoff and Super Bowl games.
• Other countries also have some free streams, such as M6 in France, Movistar Plus+ in Spain, and Azteca 7 in Mexico.
• Using a VPN can help to access these free streams from outside their regions.

These are the best options to watch NFL games for free legally in 2025 without cable or paid subscriptions.
