How to watch, stream every NFL game this season, how much it costs -

Streaming your favorite NFL games is not easy, and it has been made infinitely more complicated by streaming services. Before we cut traditional cable, you were limited to the local market games and nationally televised games, which was not all of them. Unless you were a Dallas Cowboys fan, you didn’t get to watch much of your season, and unless you had DirecTV, you couldn’t purchase the Sunday Ticket.

Streaming services have given us more access to the teams we love, but it comes at a price. For the 2025 season, Forbes estimated that it would cost fans over $750 to watch every single NFL game. As more and more streaming services get into the mix with the NFL, the harder it is to just watch a game. Prime Video secured the rights to Thursday Night Football, while NBC secured Sunday Night Football with some games streaming to Peacock and now even Netflix is in play with two Christmas Day games.

It could be a long season of playing who-has-it with your remote, so here’s a breakdown of how to watch every NFL game this season (and how much it could cost you):
