Where to Watch NFL by Country
The table gives the quickest answer for each major market. It separates local coverage from the service that offers the broadest season access.
| Country | Main live channels and services | Broadest season access | Free legal coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | CBS, Paramount+, FOX, FOX One, NBC, Peacock, ESPN, ABC, Prime Video, NFL Network and Netflix for select games | No single package; combine local and national coverage with Sunday Ticket and required streaming exclusives | Local CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC games with an antenna |
| Canada | TSN, CTV, CTV2, RDS and TSN+ | NFL Game Pass on DAZN | Selected games on CTV and CTV2 over the air |
| United Kingdom | Sky Sports NFL, Channel 5, 5 Action and DAZN | NFL Game Pass on DAZN, subject to Sky’s Sunday blackouts | Two Sunday games on Channel 5 and 5 Action, plus selected postseason games |
| Germany | RTL, Nitro, RTL+ and DAZN | NFL Game Pass on DAZN | At least two Sunday games on RTL or Nitro |
| Mexico | TUDN, Canal 5, Canal 9, ViX, ESPN, Fox Sports, Sky México and DAZN | NFL Game Pass on DAZN | Selected games on Canal 9 and Canal 5 |
| Brazil | ESPN, Disney+, SporTV, ge TV, Globoplay and DAZN | NFL Game Pass on DAZN | One Sunday game on ge TV’s YouTube channel, plus selected postseason games |
| Australia | ESPN, Disney+, Seven, 7plus and DAZN | NFL Game Pass on DAZN | Thursday Night Football and selected Sunday and postseason games on Seven or 7plus |
Why These Countries Are Included
The NFL has fans in many more countries. However, a useful guide should not add markets only to make the table longer. These seven countries have established local coverage, a notable audience, or a clear growth plan from the league.
The United Kingdom, Germany and Mexico have hosted regular-season games for years. Brazil joined the schedule in 2024, while Australia hosts its first regular-season game in Melbourne in 2026. Canada also has long-running national coverage and close links to US teams.
This focus leaves out countries where access exists but regular NFL viewing remains more limited. It also avoids treating every country with DAZN as a major NFL market.
How NFL Coverage Works
US viewers receive Sunday afternoon games according to their local CBS and FOX markets. National games then move across Prime Video, NBC, Peacock, ESPN, ABC, NFL Network and Netflix. That split means a single low-cost subscription will not cover the full US season.
Outside the US, NFL Game Pass International solves most of that problem. The NFL and DAZN have a 10-year agreement, and Game Pass carries every game live and on demand in more than 200 markets. It also includes NFL RedZone, NFL Network, playoffs and the Super Bowl. The service is not the domestic solution in the US or China.
Local broadcasters still matter. They may offer cheaper access, local-language commentary, or free games. In the UK, Sky Sports also holds exclusive rights to one game in each main Sunday window. Those games are blacked out live on Game Pass for UK viewers.
Where to Watch NFL in the United States
US coverage follows the league’s weekly schedule. CBS and FOX carry most Sunday afternoon games. Paramount+ streams the CBS game shown in your local market, while FOX One streams FOX’s NFL coverage. A digital antenna can receive local CBS and FOX broadcasts without a pay-TV plan.
Prime Video carries Thursday Night Football. NBC and Peacock show Sunday Night Football. ESPN and ABC carry Monday Night Football. NFL Network, Netflix and Peacock also receive selected standalone games during the season. The NFL’s 2026 prime-time schedule lists each national window.
NFL Sunday Ticket is the key add-on for fans who live outside their team’s TV market. It streams out-of-market Sunday afternoon games through YouTube TV or YouTube Primetime Channels. However, it does not include local games, national games, the postseason, or most special streaming games. YouTube’s Sunday Ticket guide explains those limits.
NFL+ offers a cheaper mobile option. It streams local and prime-time games live on phones and tablets. NFL+ Premium also adds RedZone and full, condensed and All-22 replays on supported devices. It does not replace Sunday Ticket for live out-of-market Sunday games.
Where to Watch NFL in Canada
DAZN gives Canadian viewers the most complete package because NFL Game Pass comes with a DAZN subscription. It includes preseason, regular-season and postseason games. Fans can also watch RedZone and NFL Network.
TSN carries Thursday, Sunday and Monday prime-time games. Its coverage also includes the playoffs and Super Bowl. CTV and CTV2 show a large selection of Sunday and prime-time games, while TSN+ carries extra games and RedZone. RDS provides French-language coverage.
The NFL’s official Canada viewing page confirms TSN, RDS and DAZN as the main homes. An antenna may receive selected CTV or CTV2 games, depending on the local station.
Where to Watch NFL in the United Kingdom
NFL Game Pass on DAZN carries the regular season, playoffs, Super Bowl, RedZone and NFL Network. It is the broadest single package for UK fans. Still, Sky’s exclusive Sunday picks create two live blackouts each week: one in the early window and one in the late window.
Sky Sports NFL shows more than 170 live games across the season. Its schedule includes Thursday Night Football, Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, European games, the playoffs and the Super Bowl. Sky Sports Mix also carries RedZone.
Channel 5 and 5 Action offer the main free choice. The current agreement provides one early and one late Sunday game, along with selected playoff games and the Super Bowl. Both games also stream through Channel 5’s online service. The official UK viewing guide lists the current options.
Where to Watch NFL in Germany
RTL and Nitro form Germany’s free-to-air home of the NFL. They show at least two live games each Sunday. RTL+ adds another weekly game and supporting shows.
DAZN’s standard sports coverage includes its Sunday conference, two exclusive Sunday games and the main Thursday, Sunday and Monday night windows. NFL Game Pass on DAZN remains the choice for every live game, replays, RedZone and NFL Network.
The NFL Germany viewing page confirms the split between RTL, DAZN and Game Pass. German commentary is available on many local broadcasts.
Where to Watch NFL in Mexico
Mexican viewers have several local choices. TUDN offers its Sunday NFL Blitz coverage on Canal 9, selected exclusive games through ViX, and postseason coverage on Canal 5. ESPN carries Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, the playoffs and the Super Bowl.
Fox Sports shows Thursday Night Football, Sunday games and postseason action. Sky México’s Sunday Ticket package carries more than 150 regular-season games. Meanwhile, NFL Game Pass on DAZN provides every preseason, regular-season and postseason game.
The league’s official Mexico viewing page lists each current partner. The NFL also returns to Mexico City for a regular-season game in 2026 under a new multiyear plan.
Where to Watch NFL in Brazil
NFL Game Pass on DAZN offers every game live or on demand in Brazil. ESPN and Disney+ carry two Sunday afternoon games, Monday Night Football, selected playoff games and the Super Bowl. Disney+ also offers NFL RedZone with Portuguese commentary.
SporTV shows Thursday and Sunday night games, plus one Sunday afternoon game. It also carries selected playoff games and the Super Bowl. Globoplay provides RedZone.

Where to Watch NFL in Australia
ESPN carries NFL action throughout the Australian season. Its lineup includes Thursday games, Sunday games, prime-time matchups, the playoffs and the Super Bowl. Viewers can access ESPN through Disney+, Foxtel or Kayo, depending on their subscription.
Seven is the free-to-air home of the league. It shows Thursday Night Football, a weekly Sunday afternoon game, selected playoff games and the Super Bowl. The same coverage streams on 7plus.
NFL Game Pass on DAZN carries every preseason, regular-season and postseason game. The NFL’s Australia viewing page confirms all three options. Australia will also host its first regular-season game in Melbourne during the 2026 season.
Which Service Should You Choose?
Start with the games you actually want. A fan who follows one local US team may only need an antenna and one or two streaming services. An out-of-market fan usually needs Sunday Ticket as well.
International viewers should compare Game Pass with local coverage. Game Pass suits anyone who wants every team, RedZone and replays. A local broadcaster may cost less if you only watch prime-time games or the Super Bowl.
Also check device rules. NFL+ limits live local and prime-time games to phones and tablets. By contrast, Game Pass works on common mobile, web and TV devices.
Can You Watch NFL Games for Free?
Free legal coverage exists, but it rarely covers a full season. US viewers can use an antenna for local games on CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC. The exact game depends on the local TV market.
Channel 5 and 5 Action provide weekly free games in the UK. German fans can use RTL and Nitro, while Seven and 7plus serve Australia. Mexico has selected games on Canal 9 and Canal 5. In Brazil, ge TV streams a weekly game on YouTube.
Free trials may appear during the season. However, trial terms change often and may not last through the next game. Check the service before signing up.
