How an NFL week is laid out
The week starts on Thursday night. Thursday Night Football kicks off at 8:15 PM Eastern and streams on Prime Video in the United States. Sunday is the busy day: the early games start at 1:00 PM ET, the late games at 4:05 or 4:25 PM ET, and Sunday Night Football follows at 8:20 PM ET on NBC. Monday Night Football closes the week at 8:15 PM ET on ESPN, with some weeks adding a second Monday game or an ABC simulcast.
A few extra slots appear during the season. Games played abroad, in London, Germany and other host cities, usually start at 9:30 AM ET on Sunday. Saturday games join the schedule in December once the college regular season is over, and Netflix has carried Christmas Day games since 2024. This page lists all of them in date order, so a Saturday or a morning game is easy to spot.
Who carries which game in the US
Sunday afternoon games are split between CBS and FOX. As a rule CBS shows games where the road team is from the AFC and FOX shows games where the road team is from the NFC, and each local station picks the game its market gets. That is why the 1:00 PM game on your TV may not be the one your friend in another city is watching.
The rest of the national games are spread across NBC and Peacock (Sunday night), ESPN and ABC (Monday night), Prime Video (Thursday night) and NFL Network, which carries a handful of games itself. Out-of-market Sunday afternoon games are sold as NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube. NFL+ covers local and national games on phones and tablets, and NFL RedZone jumps between every Sunday afternoon game whenever a team gets inside the 20-yard line.
When a game page here lists more than one stream, the first is the one we expect to hold up best. The others are often a different network's feed or a backup of the same one.
The shape of the season
The regular season runs 18 weeks. Each of the 32 teams plays 17 games and has one bye week, which makes 272 games between September and early January. Fourteen teams reach the playoffs, seven from each conference, and only the top seed in each conference skips the Wild Card round. The Divisional round and the conference championships follow in January, and the Super Bowl is played in February.
Late in the season the league can move Sunday games into the night slot or out of it, a process called flexible scheduling. When that happens the start time on this page changes with it, because the listing is rebuilt from the current schedule every minute.
Using this page
The schedule above runs seven days ahead. Games in progress move to the top of their day with a LIVE marker and, when we have it, the current score. A game stays listed for a few hours after the final whistle and then drops off.
Open a game to see its stream links. Most games have links in the hour before kickoff, and games added by hand, like the big prime-time ones, often have them earlier. If a game shows no links yet, come back closer to the start: we do not post placeholders or fake buttons.
If a stream will not play
Try the next link on the list before anything else; each one is a separate player. Reloading the player page fixes most freezes, and closing other tabs that play video helps on slower connections. Some players are blocked at certain VPN exit points, so switching the VPN off for the player tab can get it working.
The links open players run by other websites. We do not host, upload or relay any video, and those sites may show their own ads. If you would rather pay for an official option, the networks named above are where each game is broadcast in the United States.
