Picking a setup
- Just your local team:an HD antenna covers your market's CBS/FOX Sunday games and NBC's Sunday Night Football for free.
- Every primetime game: antenna + Amazon Prime (Thursday) + ESPN (Monday) covers the national slate.
- Out-of-market fan: YouTube Sunday Ticket is the only Sunday-afternoon path; add Peacock or an antenna for SNF.
Good to know
- Your local-market Sunday game airs free on CBS or FOX over the air — which one depends on the matchup and your region.
- NFL+ live games are mobile-only; RedZone requires the Premium tier.
- Sunday Ticket covers out-of-market Sunday-afternoon games only — primetime games stay on their national networks.
