With the 2022 NFL season upon us, cord-cutting fans will have a number of ways to stream games live each week.
Each year, the NFL continues in its expansion of streaming offerings and this season is no different. This season, the NFL has introduced its own exclusive streaming service, NFL+, which gives fans multiple viewing options for most regular season games. In addition to NFL+, the major live TV streaming services in the United States remain as an option to watch most major networks that broadcast NFL games.
The above list indicates that there are a number of options to stream NFL games this season, but can fans tune in for free? While major streaming services charge monthly fees, most come with free trials. With savvy planning, you can catch a good amount of this season’s NFL action without paying.
Most streaming services grant you access to local broadcasts of NFL games, while other live streaming options depend on the network that is broadcasting the game. It’s worth noting that this season marks the first year in which “Thursday Night Football” is available exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
We’ve got you covered with a complete breakdown of live streaming options for all NFL games on Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays.
