Sunday afternoon CBS and FOX games are regional broadcasts. Your local affiliate selects the game available in your area; use the NFL’s ZIP-code viewing guide and your provider’s listings. NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV covers eligible out-of-market Sunday afternoon games. It does not replace the separate national broadcasts.
NFL+ carries live local and prime-time regular-season games on phones and tablets in the United States. That mobile access is different from watching a full live game on a television. Thursday’s national stream is Prime Video; Sunday night is NBC and Peacock; Monday night is ABC and ESPN. The London game is on NFL Network, with ESPN Unlimited also listed.
For college games, ESPN+ in the table identifies ESPN+ content. ESPN says an active ESPN Select or ESPN Unlimited subscription provides access in its app; some TV packages include it. Check the access included with your own plan. NBC’s Notre Dame and Big Ten games here also stream on Peacock. Cable channels require a provider or streaming package that carries them. Check your plan, location and device before the game.
