How to Stream the 2025 Football Season

Football season is here, and for many fans, that means figuring out how to watch without a traditional cable package. The good news? There are more streaming options than ever — but each one covers different pieces of the schedule. Here’s a quick guide to help you plan.

The Big Players in NFL Streaming

• NFL+ – The league’s own service offers live local and primetime games on mobile devices, plus full replays and NFL RedZone with its premium plan.
• ESPN’s new streaming service – ESPN is launching its own standalone app in 2025, making Monday Night Football easier to access without cable.
• Amazon Prime Video – Thursday Night Football streams exclusively on Prime Video, included with a Prime membership.
• Network apps – Sunday games are split across CBS (Paramount+), NBC (Peacock for Sunday Night Football), and FOX (Fox One or live-TV bundles).
  

One-Stop Streaming Bundles

If you’d rather not juggle multiple apps, live-TV streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, fuboTV, and Sling package the big networks together — usually with sports add-ons for extras like RedZone or Sunday Ticket.

Putting It All Together

No single service covers everything, so your setup depends on how much football you want.

• Casual fans can probably stick with one or two apps for their favorite teams.
• Die-hards may want a combo of NFL+, ESPN’s new app, and Prime Video, or a live-TV bundle to cover all the bases.
  

No matter your approach, streaming makes it easier than ever to keep up with the action this season — whether you’re following your hometown team or just watching for the big matchups.
