How Can You Watch NFL Games for Free?
- An antenna. CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC are broadcast networks, so a $25 to $40 indoor antenna gets every Sunday afternoon game, Sunday night, the ABC Monday nights and most playoff games in HD, free, forever. The over-the-air picture is sharper than most streams because it is not compressed twice.
- Free trials. YouTube TV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV Stream and NFL+ all offer one; Prime Video offers 30 days. Used one at a time, they cover several weeks.
- Tubi. FOX’s free service streams the Thanksgiving late game, Eagles at Cowboys on November 26 at 4:30 PM ET, in 4K with a free account.
- Twitch. Every Prime Video game, including the Wild Card game, streams free on Twitch.
- Local TV for streaming-only games. The NFL requires every exclusive streaming game (Prime Video, Netflix, Peacock, NFL Network) to air free over the air in the two teams’ home markets.
- NFL+ on game day. The 7-day trial covers a full weekend of games on your phone.
