For die-hard NFL fans, keeping up with every game this season will come with a hefty price tag.
NFL media right has fans scrambling for access
As the league expands its media rights deals and shifts more broadcasts to streaming platforms, fans will need to shell out for multiple services to catch all the action.
From traditional cable packages to newer streaming options, the cost of staying on top of every game has reached new heights.
This season, NFL fans could be looking at spending anywhere from $800 to $1,700 to ensure they don't miss a single snap.
The wide range is due to the league's diverse array of media deals, which have spread broadcasts across several platforms.
To watch every game, fans will need access to NBC, CBS, FOX, ESPN, NFL Network, and streaming services like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Peacock, and ESPN+.
The challenge of juggling so many services is new to NFL fans, and it's not going away anytime soon.
In 2021, the NFL renewed its deals with CBS, ESPN/ABC, FOX, NBC, and Amazon, extending their partnerships through 2033.
The deals added digital streaming rights for services like Paramount+ (CBS), Tubi (FOX), and Peacock (NBC), with Amazon securing exclusive rights to "Thursday Night Football."
The most recent addition is Netflix, which announced it will stream two exclusive games on Christmas Day in 2024.
Breaking down the costs to watch all NFL games
The cost to watch every NFL game this season depends on several factors, including whether you stick with a cable package or opt for streaming services.
On average, a YouTube TV subscription, which includes CBS, FOX, NBC, NFL Network, and ESPN, costs $73 per month.
If you add NFL Sunday Ticket to this package, it'll run you an additional $349 for the season.
But even with this package, you'll need to tack on subscriptions to Peacock, ESPN+, Amazon Prime Video, and Netflix for their exclusive games.
For those who want to ensure they don't miss any games, the total cost for the season could easily sur $1,600, especially if you opt for annual subscriptions to the streaming services.
However, you can save money by subscribing only during the months when your must-watch games are airing.
While the total price might seem daunting, there are ways to trim costs.
Many streaming services offer free trials or discounted rates for new customers.
By strategically g up for services and canceling them once your key games have
aired, you can avoid unnecessary charges.
Additionally, sharing s and s with family or friends can help reduce individual costs, as both YouTube TV and Amazon Prime allow family sharing.
Streaming numbers for NFL broadcasts continue to break records, with millions of fans tuning in through platforms like Peacock and Amazon Prime.
This trend is likely to continue, making it clear that watching every NFL game this season won't come cheap-but for many fans, it's a price they're willing to pay.
