Can You Stream NFL Football with Netflix?

If you’re looking to stream NFL football, unfortunately, you cannot stream it with Netflix. If you are interested in streaming football you will need a live TV streaming service.

Which Live TV Streaming Services offer NFL Football?

Your NFL options include Hulu Live TV, Sling TV, fuboTV, YouTube TV and DIRECTV STREAM. You can get minimal NFL options with Paramount+ or Amazon Prime Video.

Which Live TV Streaming Service is Best for NFL Football?

If you want the simplest solution, simply get a subscription to Hulu Live TV, fuboTV, or YouTube TV.

Each service gets you the marquee games of ESPN and NBC and NFL Network. You’ll also get the AFC games on CBS and NFC games on FOX.

True football fans will want the fantastic NFL RedZone for commercial-free wall-to-wall live highlights on Sunday afternoons. That add-on is the cheapest with Hulu ($10/month).

Hulu Live TV now also includes an Unlimited DVR and The Disney Bundle (ESPN+ and Disney+) at no extra charge.

You can go with fuboTV or YouTube TV to access CBS, ESPN, Fox, NBC, NFL Network, and NFL RedZone at almost the same price, but Hulu’s inclusion of The Disney Bundle makes it hard to beat.

What is the Least Expensive Way to Stream Most NFL Channels?

The least expensive way to stream NFL football is a subscription to Sling TV. A subscription to Sling Blue ($35/month) gives you Fox, NBC, and NFL Network. However, you’d miss out on Monday Night Football on ESPN. Sling Blue does allow the sports add-on for $11. That’s the least expensive way possible to get NFL RedZone.

If you get Sling Orange ($35/month), you get ESPN, but not Fox, NBC, and NFL Network. The solution would be Sling Orange + Blue ($50/month) to get all of those channels. If you get Sling Orange + Blue, you can also add NFL Redzone.

Important: You cannot stream CBS with Sling TV, which would eliminate those live AFC games. If you need live access to games on CBS, Paramount+ ($4.99/month) can provide that.
