How to Follow the NFL from Kickoff Night to Super Bowl LXI
The 2026 NFL season kicked off on September 9, when Seattle, the reigning champions, beat New England. All 32 teams play 17 games over 18 weeks, the regular season wraps up on January 10, 2027, and the playoffs begin on January 16. Super Bowl LXI is on February 14 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
In the US, each part of the week has its own home. CBS and FOX carry most Sunday afternoon games, NBC and Peacock have Sunday Night Football, ESPN and ABC share Monday nights, and Thursday Night Football streams on Prime Video. Netflix streams games around Christmas, and NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube and YouTube TV is how fans who live far from their team see out-of-market Sunday afternoon games.
Outside the US and China, NFL Game Pass on DAZN streams every game, and Canadians get it as part of a DAZN subscription. Free TV still matters abroad: 5 airs a pair of Sunday games each week in the UK, RTL has the prime-time games in Germany, Seven shows several games a week in Australia and TV Globo shares the schedule with ESPN in Brazil.
European fans also get games in their own time zone this fall. After the London games in early October, Paris hosts its first regular-season game on October 25, Madrid follows on November 8 and Munich on November 15, while Mexico City has its turn on November 22.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I stream the NFL without cable in the US?
Every national TV package now has a streaming partner. Paramount+ carries the CBS games, FOX One has FOX, Peacock streams Sunday Night Football, ESPN streams its Monday night games and Prime Video has Thursday Night Football. NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV adds out-of-market Sunday afternoon games, and an antenna still picks up CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC for free.
Is NFL Game Pass still available outside the US?
Yes, through DAZN. NFL Game Pass streams every game of the season live, all the way to the Super Bowl, in every country except the US and China. In Canada it is bundled with a regular DAZN subscription rather than sold on its own. Fans in China follow the season on Tencent Sports instead.
Where can I watch NFL games in the UK?
Sky Sports is the main home, with the prime-time games and NFL RedZone, and NOW streams the Sky Sports channels without a long contract. The free channel 5 shows two Sunday games live each week. For everything else, DAZN sells NFL Game Pass, which suits fans who want to follow one team through the whole season.
Which NFL games can I watch for free?
In the US, CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC air games over the air, and Telemundo has free Spanish-language broadcasts. Across the Americas and Oceania, CTV in Canada, Televisa and TV Azteca in Mexico, TV Globo in Brazil, Seven in Australia and TVNZ in New Zealand all carry free games. Free pirate streams tend to get blocked or seized mid-game and are full of pop-ups, so these channels are the steadier choice.
What time do NFL games start in Europe and Africa?
The early Sunday games kick off at 1 pm Eastern, which is 6 pm in London for most of the season and 6 or 7 pm in Lagos, depending on the clocks. The late afternoon games start about three hours later. Sunday, Monday and Thursday night games begin around 1:15 am UK time, so many fans abroad watch them on replay the next morning.
When is Super Bowl LXI, and where can I watch it?
Super Bowl LXI is on Sunday, February 14, 2027, in Inglewood, California. In the US it is the turn of ABC and ESPN in the network rotation, so the game is free over the air on ABC. Outside the US and China it streams live on DAZN through NFL Game Pass, and in Ireland Virgin Media Television shows it free.
How many teams make the NFL playoffs?
Fourteen, seven from each conference: the four division winners plus three wild cards. Wild Card Weekend opens the playoffs on January 16, 2027, while the top seed in each conference gets a bye. The two conference champions then meet in Super Bowl LXI, and DAZN streams every playoff game for fans outside the US and China.
Can I watch NFL games on my phone?
Yes. In the US, NFL+ streams local and prime-time games on phones and tablets, and the Paramount+, Peacock, Prime Video and YouTube TV apps work on mobile too. Elsewhere, the DAZN app carries NFL Game Pass. In the US and Canada, DraftKings also lets you place a bet and watch NFL games inside its sportsbook app through NFL BetVision.
Where can I watch the NFL in Canada?
TSN and CTV share the English-language games, with CTV's broadcasts free over the air, and RDS shows the NFL in French. A DAZN subscription in Canada also includes NFL Game Pass, so cord-cutters can stream every game live without a TV package.
How do I keep my NFL streaming service working while traveling?
Apps such as Peacock, YouTube TV and Paramount+ check your location and can stop working once you leave the US. Switch on a VPN, pick a US server, and your account behaves as if you were still on your own couch. NordVPN has apps for Fire TV and Apple TV, so the game can play on the television in a rental apartment or hotel.
