Ways to Watch 2022 NFL Season From Anywhere

NFL live streams in the US

Looking at the NFL 2022-23 schedule, you can see that games will air on a wide range of services and channels, including old standbys like ESPN, NFL Network and your local FOX, NBC and CBS affiliates.

Just like last season, ESPN has Monday Night Football and NBC will have Sunday Night Football. CBS gets AFC games on Sunday afternoons, and FOX will have the NFC games. Amazon Prime Video has some Thursday Night Football games, while the NFL Network will continue to offer a bunch of games throughout the year.

The newest competitor for streams this season is NFL Plus, but it’s just for mobile devices and tablets. But if watching solely on your mobile device is OK, then this $4.99 per month(opens in new tab) service allows you to watch live games on your phone or tablet. During the regular season, local and primetime games will be included in NFL Plus(opens in new tab).

So, that makes it really easy to recommend where cord-cutters should turn to watch the NFL season: Fubo TV. Built for all things sports, Fubo has all three of those local broadcasters, plus ESPN and NFL Network. That’s why it’s one of the best streaming services.

NFL RedZone games air between 1 p.m. ET and the end of the late-afternoon games on Sundays during the NFL season. You can watch RedZone from your cable or satellite provider’s streaming service or on a variety of apps for smartphones, tablets and connected devices like Apple TV and PlayStation 4.
