The New England Patriots suffered a Week 1 loss against the Las Vegas Raiders, testing not just head coach Mike Vrabel's mettle, but quarterback Drake Maye's leadership as the team continues to rebuild after Bill Belichick's departure. (Of all the football drama in the world though, the Pats' loss feels minimal compared to the pressure and drama Belichick seems to be courting at UNC and with his former employer in Foxborough.) The Patriots will head to Miami for a Sunday afternoon game that will kick off at 1 p.m. ET on CBS and will stream for in-market viewers on Paramount+. (Out-of-market fans can catch the game on YouTube TV's Sunday Ticket.)

How to watch NFL games in 2025:
Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you're looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna) or finding a live TV streaming service that carries the correct RSN (Regional Sports Network). If you want to watch out-of-market games, a $7 monthly subscription to NFL+ will let you watch every out-of-market-game local and primetime game in the season on your phone — but only a select few regular season games on your TV. You could also spring for the uber-expensive NFL Sunday Ticket package to get every out-of-market Sunday game of the season.
When it comes to nationally broadcast games, NFL games typically air across ESPN, NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC and NFL Network. Thursday Night Football games stream exclusively on Prime Video, select football games will stream exclusively on Peacock, games on CBS will stream live on Paramount+, and Monday Night Football games will air on ESPN or ABC and stream on the newly revamped ESPN+ this season. That's six channels and four streaming platforms to keep up with this season — and that's not counting your local RSN's for in-market games and an NFL+ or NFL Sunday Ticket subscription for out-of-market games. Plus, Netflix is once again hosting at least two Christmas Day matches, so add that subscription into the mix. And we can't forget about Fox One, Fox's first streaming service, a place where you can also stream games airing on FOX (if you don't already have access to it).
Confused? You're not alone. Here's a breakdown of the platforms we recommend checking out ahead of the 2025 NFL season, so that come game time, tuning into your favorite team's games will be as easy as simply turning on the TV.
