Here’s How To Watch The 2022 NFL Season Online

There are a number of streaming services offering NFL games this season, including Amazon Prime Video, NFL+, Paramount+, FuboTV, and more. Here’s what you need to know about watching NFL games in 2022.

NFL Plus

If you want to watch NFL games exclusively on your mobile device or tablet, NFL+ is the place to be. Starting at $5 per month or $30 per year, an NFL+ subscription gives you mobile or tablet access to live local and primetime regular season and postseason games, live game audio for every game, and more. You also get live out-of-market preseason games on a wider range of devices.

NFL+, $5 and up per month

‘Thursday Night Football’ on Amazon Prime Video

This season, after being available simultaneously on up to three platforms for a few years, “Thursday Night Football” will stream its live games exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Play-by-play legend Al Michaels, late from “Sunday Night Football,” and Kirk Herbstreit, best known as an analyst for ESPN’s “College GameDay,” will be getting the calls. The “TNF” schedule begins on September 15, 2022, with the Los Angeles Chargers taking on Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs.

Not a Prime member? Amazon offers new subscribers a 30-day free trial so you can watch live NFL action along with all the other TV shows and moves offered by Prime Video.

‘Sunday Night Football’ on NBC and Peacock

“Sunday Night Football” airs weekly on NBC while streaming live on Peacock at the same time. (You can also stream NBC through a live TV streaming app, à la DirecTV Stream, natch.)

The “SNF” schedule kicks off with Bills-Rams’ season opener on September 8, 2022, which is technically a Thursday (and not Sunday) night.

An important streaming heads-up: While Peacock offers plenty of great ad-supported shows and movies for free, you’ll need a subscription if you want access to Peacock’s premium content, including “Sunday Night Football.” There are two Peacock subscription options. For $5 a month, you can get ad-supported access to premium content, or go ad-free for $10 a month.

Paramount+

A Paramount+ subscription includes live access to ‘NFL on CBS’. That’s CBS’ slate of live, AFC Sunday games. The streamer also offers NFL fans the weekly studio show “Inside the NFL.”

Paramount+ has two subscription tiers: the $5-per-month “Essential Plan,” a budget-oriented tier with ads, and the $10-per-month “Premium Plan,” which costs more but contains no ads. Paramount+ also offers a one-week free trial, so if you’re thinking of trying the platform, you can watch some Sunday football on CBS risk-free.

FuboTV

FuboTV is a sports-focused streaming service that provides access to almost every NFL game of the season. Packages include CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN, NFL Network, NFL RedZone, and more.

Fox, as you know, offers NFC games on Sundays through “NFL on Fox”; while ESPN is the home of “Monday Night Football.” ABC also airs some “MNF” games.

In addition to NFL football, FuboTV offers MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS and international football games.

FuboTV, from $70 per month

Sling TV

Sling TV is a live TV streamer. For the NFL season, Sling’s “Orange & Blue” level will get you almost all the networks you need to watch every game — all for a relative bargain of $50 a month. Note: The “Orange and Blue” layer will not get CBS games, or Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football.”

Still interested? Sling offers new users half their first month of any package, including the “Orange & Blue” tier.

Direct TV Stream

DirecTV Stream isn’t cheap, but it will stream all the networks you need for the 2022 NFL season. DirecTV Stream’s least expensive tier, called “Entertainment,” offers CBS, NBC, Fox, and ESPN for $70 a month. But understand this: Subscribers on the “Choice” tier and above get CBS, NBC, Fox, and ESPN, plus your regional sports networks and access at no extra cost to 2022 NFL Sunday Ticket Max, a subscription that streams every live out-of-market Sunday game (and usually costs $395).

Right now, DirectTV Stream is offering $20 off your first two months of each package.

Hulu+ Live TV, $70 and up per month

YouTube TV

YouTube TV offers streaming coverage and pricing comparable to Hulu+ Live TVs, with the added bonus of a cable TV-like channel grid. A basic plan costs $65 per month. It is currently offered (for new users only) for $55 per month for the first three months.
