Football fans who have decided to cut the cable cord have plenty of options for streaming NFL action this season. (Too many options, some of us might argue.) With the right streaming services, you can watch Sunday afternoon games on CBS and Fox, “Sunday Night Football” on NBC, and “Monday Night Football” on ESPN.
The regular Sunday season—with afternoon games on CBS and Fox, and night games on NBC—kicks off on Sept. 8.
A day later, the first “Monday Night Football” game on ESPN will feature the N.Y. Jets against the San Francisco 49ers. Later in the season, there will be a few Monday nights where ESPN will show one game, while another is broadcast on ABC.
This year, the Super Bowl—to be held at the Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9—returns to Fox.
In addition, CBS’ games will also be shown on the Paramount+ streaming service, while NBC’s games will also be available on the parent company’s Peacock service, as well as its Telemundo Spanish-language network. Some of ESPN’s “MNF” games will also appear on ABC, as well as the ESPN+ subscription service.
Just like last year, the trio of Thanksgiving Day games—Nov. 28 this year—will be shown across CBS, Fox, and NBC. However, Amazon gets the Black Friday game a day later, this year featuring the Las Vegas Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs.
If you’re using a cable replacement streaming service, you may already have access to a decent number of games, as well as Super Bowl LIX, which will be broadcast on Fox on Feb. 9.
However, live local channels aren’t available on all cable replacement streaming services in all markets. You’ll need these channels to watch games in your area, so review the channel lineups before subscribing to a service such as DirecTV Stream, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, or YouTube TV.
