Legal catalog
Every source the planner can route through.
Same idea as a rights matrix: which service legally carries which window, what a new-customer trial actually is, and the cancel link. Prices and trials change — confirm on the provider’s checkout.
Free options
-
Over-the-air antenna
HD antenna for NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX in your market, including national Sunday Night Football.
-
Bar night (licensed venue)
A restaurant or bar that already pays for commercial Sunday Ticket. Marking a game as a bar night drops it from the paid cover — sometimes that kills a whole month of a subscription.
-
Official team radio
Official radio call. Live and legal; audio-only.
Network streamers
-
FOX One
FOX's own app: local FOX NFL games plus FS1. Not Sunday Ticket — out-of-market Sunday FOX games still need Ticket or a licensed bar.
-
Paramount+
Live CBS in participating markets at $8.99/mo. No free trial. Does not unlock out-of-market CBS Sunday Ticket games.
-
Peacock
Official NBC Sunday Night Football stream. No free trial as of mid-2026. Prefer NBC over the air when you have an antenna.
-
ESPN Unlimited
Monday Night Football and the ESPN family at $29.99/mo. No trial. When the game is also on ABC, use an antenna instead.
-
Amazon Prime Video
Thursday Night Football is Prime Video nationally. New Prime members often get 30 days free, then about $8.99/mo.
-
Netflix
International, holiday, and special NFL windows. No standard free trial.
Live TV bundles
-
YouTube TV
Local FOX/CBS/NBC/ABC plus ESPN and NFL Network. 10-day new-user trial. Does not include Sunday Ticket out-of-market games.
-
Fubo
Sports-heavy live TV. 7-day trial typical. Local Sunday games only; no Sunday Ticket.
-
Hulu + Live TV
Live locals plus ESPN/ABC. Short trial. Local Sunday afternoons only.
-
DIRECTV STREAM
Live local and cable sports. 5-day trial. Out-of-market Sundays still need Sunday Ticket.
-
Sling Orange
ESPN family without a full live-TV bundle ($45.99/mo). Use a day pass if you only need one Monday night.
-
Sling Blue
FOX, NBC, NFL Network, FS1. Locals are market-dependent. No CBS, so it cannot cover CBS Sundays.
League packages
-
NFL+
Official replays and condensed games. Live local/primetime on mobile with Premium — not live out-of-market Sunday afternoons.
-
NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube
Official live package for Sunday afternoon games not on your local FOX or CBS. About $240/season. No trial.

Carrier / ISP Sunday Ticket promo
