Sunday Night Football: How to watch the Atlanta Falcons vs. San Francisco 49ers game tonight
The San Francisco 49ers have had a relatively strong start to their season, going 4-2 and but things may start to get more challenging now that linebacker Fred Warner is out for the season with a fractured ankle. In better news, tight end George Kittle, who was injured during the first game of the season, is on track to return in Week 7. The 49ers will host the Atlanta Falcons for the Week 7 Sunday Night Football game at Levi's Stadium. The 3-2 Falcons are building momentum after a 24-14 win over the Buffalo Bills this past Monday.
The Falcons vs. 49ers game will kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET; here's everything you need to know about where to tune in.

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 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.
