While the NFL continues to expand onto streaming services like Prime Video, Peacock and even Netflix, it has its own streaming platform, NFL Plus, that gives football fans a chance to watch games and additional features without a traditional cable setup.
The NFL delivered their own streaming service before the 2022 NFL season, bringing live games and special features to fans for a monthly or full-season price. But if you're looking for a way to watch football this season even if you've cut the cord, we've got everything you need to know about how NFL Plus can help you on that front, from how much it costs to how it differs from the other NFL viewing choices that are already around, like NFL Sunday Ticket.
Here's what you need to know about NFL Plus.
NFL Plus price
NFL Plus offers multiple plans for its consumers, ranging from $6.99 per month to $100 for a full year's subscription.
One option is just the standard NFL Plus package, which costs $6.99 per month or $49.99 per month if you commit for the full year.
There is also an NFL Plus Premium plan, which costs $14.99 per month or $99.99 if you sign up for the full year.
NFL Plus free trial
At this time, there does not appear to be a free trial to try NFL Plus before you are charged for the streaming service.
What games are available on NFL Plus?
NFL Plus allows subscribers to watch local and primetime games live on mobile devices. That means whatever games are playing in your area on NFL on Fox and NFL on CBS, as well as nationally televised broadcasts, including Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football.
Here are the national games that will be available to all NFL Plus subscribers for week 11, November 14-18:
- Thursday, November 14: Commanders vs Eagles, 8:15 pm ET/5:15 pm PT

Where is NFL Plus available?
The NFL Plus streaming service is exclusively available in the US at this time.
NFL fans in the UK can still rely on NFL Game Pass to watch live and on-demand replays of NFL games. NFL games are also available to watch on ITV and Sky TV in the UK.
Other NFL streaming/on-demand options
NFL Plus is just one option for fans to have access to live and on-demand NFL content throughout the season, with other services offering different levels of access.
The big one is NFL Sunday Ticket. NFL Sunday Ticket is a subscription service that gives fans access to all out-of-market NFL games live on their TVs and all other devices. NFL Sunday Ticket is now exclusively available through YouTube.
You can also add NFL RedZone as a standalone option with premium cable options or live TV streaming services like Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV. The channel follows every game and provides live look-ins to games and replays of just about every touchdown scored.
There are also ways to watch your live local NFL game on Fox and CBS online, including watching NFL on the Paramount Plus streaming service. Two of the three marquee games every week are also easily available on streaming, as Thursday Night Football is on Prime Video, while Peacock live streams NBC's broadcast of Sunday Night Football.
During the 2024 NFL season, there are also going to be a handful of games that are going to be available exclusively on streaming services. That includes the week 1 matchup in Brazil between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles on Peacock; the week 13 game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders on Prime Video; and a pair of Christmas Day games (Chiefs vs Steelers, Ravens vs Texans) that are streaming exclusively on Netflix.
