The NFL’s 2024–2025 season is shaping up to be a streaming puzzle for fans. With the introduction of a fourth exclusive streaming partner, Netflix, to a lineup that already includes Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, and ESPN+, the question of “Which channel is the game on, exactly?” is more relevant than ever. Here’s what you need to know to catch every play this season.

The New Streaming Partners

1. Netflix: The newest entrant into the NFL streaming world, Netflix, has inked a three-year deal to broadcast the league’s Christmas Day games. The company will pay $75 million per game and will broadcast two games in Week 17 this season. While Netflix has yet to announce its broadcasting team, the platform is leveraging its successful NFL documentaries to attract fans.
2. Amazon Prime Video: Now in its second year of a 10-year, $1 billion per year agreement with the NFL, Amazon Prime Video continues to be the exclusive home for Thursday Night Football. In addition to regular-season games, Amazon will also broadcast one wild-card playoff game. The company is banking on a star-studded broadcasting lineup featuring Charissa Thompson, Al Michaels, Tony Gonzalez, and Kirk Herbstreit to draw viewers.
3. ESPN+: As part of ESPN’s broader 11-year deal with the NFL, ESPN+ will exclusively stream one game this year: the Los Angeles Chargers vs. the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. ESPN’s overall package includes six additional games and a divisional playoff game, making it a key player in the NFL’s streaming landscape.
4. Peacock: NBC’s streaming platform, Peacock, made waves last season by exclusively streaming the Chiefs-Dolphins playoff game, drawing a record-breaking 27 million viewers. This season, Peacock will kick off with the Eagles-Packers season opener in São Paulo, Brazil, on September 6. The platform has invested in a younger broadcasting team led by Noah Eagle and Kaylee Hartung, hoping to appeal to a new generation of football fans.

ESPN and ABC will cover Monday Night Football, with ESPN2 bringing back the popular ManningCast featuring Peyton and Eli Manning.

With multiple platforms now in play, fans need to stay informed to avoid missing any action. Whether you’re tuning in on Netflix, Prime Video, Peacock, or ESPN+, this season promises to be one of the most digitally accessible in NFL history.
