The fastest way to find tonight’s NFL game is to scroll to Games coming up below, or open the full NFL schedule. Each game lists its channel and a Watch button.
Where NFL games usually air
NFL games are split across several networks, and the night of the week is the best clue.
Window
Typical home
Thursday night
Prime Video for most games, with a few holiday games elsewhere
Sunday afternoon
CBS and FOX, depending on the matchup and your local market
Sunday night
NBC (and Peacock)
Monday night
ESPN and ABC, sometimes with alternate presentations on ESPN2
Select games
NFL Network, including some international and late-season games
Broadcast deals change and individual games can move, so treat the game page as the source of truth for any specific date.
The simplest way to stream
Find the game on this site and note the channel.
Tap Watch live to open the game.
Sign in, then press play when the broadcast goes live.
If the game is on a standalone app such as Prime Video, you will need that service directly. Game pages say when a game is listed on a streaming service rather than a TV channel.
Local channels matter
Sunday afternoon games on CBS and FOX are shown according to your local market. The same Sunday window can show a different game depending on where you live. See our guide to NFL blackouts and local games for how that works.
It depends on the night. Check the game list on this page for the exact channel listed for each game, then use the Watch button to open it with our streaming partner.
Can I watch NFL games tonight without cable?
Yes. Live TV streaming services carry the broadcast networks and cable channels that show NFL games, and some games stream on dedicated apps.
