Can You Watch “Inside The NFL” on Showtime?

Starting in 2008, the critically-acclaimed Inside the NFL, called Showtime it’s home. But starting with the 2021 season, you will no longer be able to stream Inside The NFL on Showtime.

Instead, Paramount+ is now the home to the studio show that covers every game, every week with trademark highlights from NFL Films, special in-depth features, and debate segments on the game’s hottest topics each week. You can watch it with a 7-Day Free Trial of Paramount+.

About Inside The NFL

New to the cast this year is former New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman. Edelman joins two-time Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl XXI MVP Phil Simms in his 14th year on the show; six-time Pro Bowler Brandon Marshall; three-time Emmy Award-winner James Brown, in his 12th year as host; two-time Super Bowl champion and Hall of Famer Ray Lewis; and three-time Super Bowl champion and Hall of Famer Michael Irvin. Lewis and Irvin both will serve as contributing analysts throughout the season.

“Given the power of NFL content, combined with the audience on Paramount+, we are excited to help grow the game even more by bringing new fans the highlights and behind-the-scenes access that others have come to expect from Inside the NFL through the years,” said Sean McManus, chairman of CBS Sports.

“I’m so honored and excited to be a part of this, with the respect levels that I have for every single one of these cast members,” Edelman said. “I grew up watching this, so to be in it and to get to sit and talk football with some of the best guys in the business, I’m just so excited, and I can’t wait. It’s a very, very exciting time and a new chapter in my life that I’m looking forward to, and like I said, it’s going to be an honor to get to sit down here with you guys, talk ball, maybe a little crap talking here and there, little of this, little of that.”
