People enjoy watching sports when they aren’t at work. As one of the most popular pastimes out there, American football garners global interest due to its hard hits, momentum-changing interceptions, and the various famous franchises in the NFL. Fans drive their electric vehicles to watch the Packers, and they catch the subway to take in a Giants encounter. When tickets are sold out, though, these same fans can still stream the action at home.

Given the popularity of the NFL around the world, there are several streaming services that fans typically turn to. As such, despite the NFL being rather picky about the platforms that house its games, you don’t necessarily need cable to watch every highly anticipated clash. There are more than enough viable options for fans who want to watch their fantasy picks in action and enjoy NFL betting. Below, we highlight five of them.

YouTube TV is popular right now.

YouTube houses a comprehensive selection of football-based material. Alongside it are options like YouTube TV, where NFL coverage is prevalent. It isn’t free, but for YouTube's $10.99-per-month Sports Plus add-on, you can explore the NFL RedZone channel, plus other go-to channels among the NFL community like CBS, FOX, ESPN, and NBC. YouTube TV also offers a range of other sports-related content to watch live, boasting an intuitive interface and allowing three simultaneous streams per account.

Amazon Prime Video is perfect for Thursday’s clashes.

Most people have discovered the delights of Amazon Prime Video for television shows and even behind-the-scenes footage of various sports teams, but not everyone uses the service for live sporting events. It’s pretty straightforward to access, with Amazon Prime Video now holding exclusive rights to Thursday Night NFL games. Alongside watching the action unfold on a Thursday, service players can also check out WNBA games and certain MLB encounters through prominent devices like smartphones and game consoles.

Hulu has all the channels you need

A streaming service that has grown massively in more recent times, Hulu’s rise up the streaming ranks has enabled it to develop its selection of channels that showcase some of the best sporting competitions on the planet. For NFL games, Hulu is filled with options, with the likes of CBS, ESPN, FOX, and NBC being accessible to its players. You can also spend $10 per month for the NFL Network channel and have immediate access to other entertainment options, such as movies and television shows. Also playable through nearly every media streaming device, Hulu is an excellent option for football fans.

Peacock offers every Sunday night game.

While Peacock lags behind some of the services above when offering a wide choice of NFL games, it beats them all regarding Sunday night matchups. Whether you opt for Peacock's Premium or Premium Plus plans, you can enjoy every Sunday night clash, plus the Super Bowl when it’s on. A Peacock package also grants you access to other much-loved sports worldwide, such as Premier League soccer and PGA Tour golf.

Fubo is another go-to option for many football fans.

Similar in many respects to YouTube TV and Hulu, Fubo has become an understandable preference for many football fans in recent seasons. Including channels like CBS, FOX, NBC, and the NFL Network, plus the NFL RedZone channel via the $10.99 per month Sports Plus with NFL RedZone add-on, Fubo is slick and easy to use, and it offers a diverse collection of live sports alongside its NFL coverage.
