The NFL Is Back! Here’s How to Watch Every Big Game

Summer is nearly over. The leaves will soon be changing, pumpkin is spicing our drinks, and the NFL is back to give millions of sports fans across America the hard-hitting professional football action they crave.

There are more ways than ever to watch football. You can gather friends and crowd around a television to watch a traditionally broadcast game like generations before you, or you can leverage today’s video streaming services for online convenience. Following sports can get tricky depending on your region and subscribed service, but our NFL streaming guide has everything you need to know to track your favorite teams.

When it comes to live sports, though, the most important thing to know is when and where the game appear. NFL games generally air during four time slots—across different networks—throughout the regular season: Thursday Night Football (typically on NFL Network, with most games simulcast on FOX, Prime Video, and Twitch), Sunday afternoons (CBS and FOX), Sunday Night Football (NBC), and Monday Night Football (ESPN).
