See our 2024 NFL Viewing Guide here!

The NFL is the undisputed ruler of the broadcasting world. “Sunday Night Football” has been the highest-rated primetime show on television for each of the past 12 seasons, and the NFL’s latest media rights deal was for a total of $110 billion.

That deal extends through the end of the 2033 season, so fans can expect to find most NFL games on broadcast TV for the next decade. Despite that fact, there are more and more ways to watch NFL contests via streaming every season, and this year will the league will have its heaviest presence yet on streaming.

We have all of the information you need to stream NFL games during the 2023 season:

How to Watch 2023 NFL Season on Paramount+

CBS is one of the main broadcast networks that hosts NFL games every year, and that will continue in 2023. The channel will carry more than 100 contests spread across the 18 weeks of the season, including such highly anticipated matchups as Bengals-Chiefs, Jets-Cowboys, and Bills-Chiefs.

Fans who want to stream the NFL on CBS can do so by subscribing to the Paramount+ Premium tier. This tier carries a livestream of local CBS affiliates in every major market in the United States, so if an NFL contest is on your local CBS channel, you’ll be able to stream it with Paramount+ Premium. The monthly cost of Paramount+ Premium is $9.99 currently, but it will rise to $11.99 per month when Paramount+ Premium adds content from SHOWTIME this summer. The good news is, you can sign up for an annual plan to Paramount+ Premium, and lock in your $9.99 monthly rate until next spring.

How to Watch 2023 NFL Season on Prime Video

Thanks to a deal signed between the league and Amazon before the start of the 2022 season, Prime Video will be the exclusive national home of “Thursday Night Football” telecasts until the end of 2033. Games will still be broadcast on television in the home markets of the teams playing, but otherwise, users will have to head to Prime Video if they want to watch “TNF.”

There are some changes on the way for this “TNF” season, but nothing that will impact how viewers watch games. The NFL recently enacted a rule change that allows for teams to play on Thursdays twice during a regular season, raising the previous limit of one Thursday game per year. A proposal to allow for flexible scheduling on “TNF” games toward the end of the season is still under consideration by NFL owners.

Prime Video will get another exclusive game this year, but it won’t be on a Thursday. The NFL will play its first-ever Black Friday game in 2023, as the New York Jets square off against the Miami Dolphins the day after Thanksgiving. In a savvy move, Amazon has elected to make this game available to subscribers and non-subscribers alike.

All games on “TNF” will begin at 8 p.m. ET unless otherwise indicated.
