How to watch NFL games in 2024:

Many NFL preseason games are broadcast on local channels. So if you want to watch a game in the market, all you need to do is turn on your TV (or set up a digital TV antenna) or find a live TV streaming service that carries the correct RSN (Regional Sports Network). If you want to watch out-of-market games, a $5 monthly subscription to NFL+ lets you watch all of the out-of-market local and primetime games of the season (and preseason) on your phone – but just some few games on your TV. You could also opt for the overpriced NFL Sunday ticket package to see every out-of-stock Sunday game of the season.

When it comes to nationally televised games, NFL games are typically broadcast on ESPN, NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC and NFL Network. Thursday Night Football games will be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, and select football games will be streamed exclusively On Peacock, games on CBS will stream live on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME this season and select games will stream on ESPN+ this season. That’s six channels and four streaming platforms to keep up with this season – and that includes your local RSNs for games that are in market and an NFL+ or NFL Sunday Ticket subscription for games that aren’t are on the market, not yet included. Additionally, Netflix is ​​currently negotiating to become the exclusive place to watch the NFL’s Christmas games this year.
