How to watch NFL games in 2026

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). A $7 monthly subscription to NFL+ will let you watch every local and primetime game live 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, the NFL typically airs on ESPN, NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, and NFL Network. Thursday Night Football games stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video; select football games stream exclusively on Peacock; games on CBS stream live on Paramount+ Premium; and select games stream on ESPN's App this season. For those keeping count, that's six channels and four streaming platforms to keep up with this season. Plus, Netflix is once again hosting at least two Christmas Day matches, a playoff game, and the first-ever Thanksgiving Eve match, so don't forget to add that subscription into the mix. 

Confused? You're not alone. Here's a breakdown of the platforms we recommend checking out ahead of the 2026 NFL season, so that come game time, tuning into your favorite team's games will be as easy as simply turning on the TV.
