The NFL broadcast picture is the most complex in American sport, and the most stable. The current rights cycle runs through 2033, with the five major partners locked in.
CBS carries the AFC away-team package: every Sunday afternoon, the AFC team that is travelling appears on a CBS regional broadcast. CBS also holds the Super Bowl in even years (2026 confirmed) and the AFC Championship Game most years. Paramount+ streams the full CBS NFL schedule.
FOX carries the NFC away-team package: every Sunday afternoon, the NFC team that is travelling appears on a FOX regional broadcast. FOX also holds the Super Bowl in odd years and the NFC Championship Game most years.
NBC holds Sunday Night Football, the showcase prime-time fixture every Sunday at 8:20 PM ET. NBC streams the same broadcast on Peacock.
ESPN holds Monday Night Football every Monday at 8:15 PM ET. Selected weeks add a second Monday-night game on ABC.
Amazon Prime Video holds Thursday Night Football every regular-season Thursday at 8:15 PM ET, plus the Black Friday game and one wild-card playoff fixture each January.
NFL Network carries selected Thursday morning international games (London, Frankfurt) live, plus the late Sunday afternoon games on weeks when a holiday creates a third Sunday window.
NFL+ is the league-operated mobile streaming product. NFL+ is $6.99 per month for mobile-only live and replays; NFL+ Premium is $14.99 per month and adds NFL RedZone (the all-touchdown Sunday afternoon channel), every game replay on demand, and NFL Films archive.
NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV is the out-of-market package: every Sunday afternoon game not on your local CBS or FOX affiliate, every Sunday. Subscription is $378 per season for YouTube TV subscribers or $449 per season standalone. The Sunday Ticket package moved to YouTube TV in 2023 after a quarter-century on DirecTV.
The Wild Card round splits across CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC and Amazon Prime. The Divisional round is similarly split. The two Conference Championship games air on CBS and FOX in their respective conferences. The Super Bowl rotates between CBS, FOX and NBC.
A typical regular-season Sunday: early window (1:00 PM ET) on CBS and FOX in the local market; late window (4:05 or 4:25 PM ET) on CBS and FOX in the local market; NFL RedZone carries every touchdown live in both windows for NFL+ Premium subscribers; Sunday Ticket carries every out-of-market game live; the day closes with Sunday Night Football on NBC at 8:20 PM ET.
