If you want to be able to watch all of the NFL’s action this season, it’s going to cost you.
NFL games will be broadcast on Fox, CBS, NBC, Amazon, YouTube, Netflix and ESPN as more media companies use the league’s broad popularity to lure viewers to their direct-to-consumer streaming apps and subscriber services. And as these media companies use the nation’s most popular sports league to get people to subscribe to their streaming services, the cost of watching all the games is rising. Consumers who wish to watch every single NFL game this season will have to pay upwards of $950 to do so, according to estimates by Forbes, which noted the league’s games will air on ten different platforms during the 2025-26 season.
The most expensive of these packages is NFL Sunday Ticket, available through traditional cable providers or Google’s YouTubeTV for nearly $400 a season. Netflix plans in the U.S. range from $6.99 to $24.99 per month while a subscription to Amazon’s streaming service will run customers $14.99 per month or $139 per year. Amazon burst onto the NFL scene in 2021, signing a multi-billion-dollar media rights deal with the league to broadcast Thursday Night Football, Black Friday and other select games through the 2033 season. Netflix, which has made a major push into live streamed sports, broadcast last season’s Christmas Day games, with more than 20 million viewers tuning in to the double-header action during the holiday. The streamer will again this Christmas broadcast two NFC divisional rivalry games: the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Washington Commanders, and the Detroit Lions vs. the Minnesota Vikings.
To watch every NFL game in the U.S. this season, fans will need a mix of streaming services since rights are split across platforms: Prime Video for Thursday Night Football, NBC/Peacock for Sunday Night Football, ESPN/ABC (via Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, or ESPN Unlimited) for Monday Night Football, CBS games on Paramount+, FOX games on Fubo, Sling, or the new Fox One app, and Netflix for two exclusive Christmas Day games. Out-of-market games require NFL Sunday Ticket via YouTube TV ($82.99/month plus $276–$378 for the package), while NFL RedZone is available as an add-on through Fubo, Sling, or Hulu. Altogether, Forbes estimates it costs fans $950+ per season to stream every game across these platforms.
In the U.K., the simplest way to watch every NFL game is with DAZN’s NFL Game Pass International for about £170/year, which gives live access to all games, replays, RedZone, and NFL Network. Fans can supplement with Sky Sports (via Sky or NOW Sports, ~£15/day or monthly packages) for primetime games and expanded European coverage, while Channel 5 (My5) offers two free Sunday games plus select London matchups and the Super Bowl.
Subscribers based in other locals or seeking other alternative options could try online streaming service like Zemu.tv
