To the Dolphins, Ravens, Giants, and supporters of other teams: the latest season of the NFL is back with a bang and things are more exciting than ever! Fans will get whole 4 months of epic football showdowns from September 5 to January 5.
The games are available on regional sports networks, national broadcasts, and online streaming services. Speaking of which, if you're a DIRECTV customer, then don't fret if you can't access the NFL on DIRECTV due to its ongoing negotiation with Disney.
We're sharing a list of alternative channels and streams where you can watch NFL live while keeping your DIRECTV subscription.
Alternatives to Watch NFL With DIRECTV
Sling TV
Sling TV is definitely one of the top options for DIRECTV users looking to watch the NFL live. It offers 3 plans i.e.:
- Sling Orange at $40/mo.
- Sling Blue at $40/mo.
- Sling Orange + Blue at $55/mo.
Each plan has a separate set of sports channels for instance Sling Orange has ESPN whereas Sling Blue has NFL Network. As a user, it’s recommended to get Orange + Blue since you can get access to the NFL Network and ESPN sports coverage.
Also, you can get NFL RedZone with an additional $11/mo. If that’s not exciting then perhaps 50% off on your first month and a Season’s Pass will get you moving!
Fubo
Even though it's a bit on the expensive side, Fubo TV’s Pro Plan combines several options provided by other streaming services. Fubo Pro Plan starting at $80/mo. includes:
- Local games streamed on Fox
- Sunday Night Football
- NFL Network games
- Monday Night Football
In other words, you can get streaming and cable channels, accessing NFL games of all sorts (local + prime). Also, you can get the Sports Plus Package at just $11/mo. added to the plan to access NFL RedZone.
Hulu + Live TV
With Hulu, you can access all local NFL games as well as ESPN and NFL Network at just $77/mo. The cherry on the top: you get Disney+ and ESPN+ free alongside an on-demand Hulu subscription.
Buying Hulu + live TV, you can watch:
- Local games shown on Fox and CBS
- Sunday/ Monday Night Football shown on NBC and ESPN
- NFL Network Games
Oh, and you can get the Sports add-on package to access NFL RedZone for just $10/mo.

At $73/mo. YouTube TV is another option for DIRECTV customers to watch NFL live easily. Buying a YouTube TV subscription, you can access multiple games, including:
- NFL Network Games
- Local games (Fox, CBS)
- Sunday Night Football (NBC)
- Monday Night Football (ESPN)
In addition, you can even get an NFL Sunday Ticket at just $119.75/mo. for 4 months with your YouTube TV account. Also, new customers can enjoy a discounted price of $53/mo. for the first 4 months after their free trial.
YouTube TV also has a Sports Plus Package including NFL RedZone for an additional $11/mo.
Peacock
Starting at $8 (ad-supported), the Peacock streaming service will host NFL matches that you can stream easily. The good thing about choosing Peacock is that you get the entire Sunday Night Football schedule and coverage of out-of-market Sunday Games.
In addition, you get:
- Local games (CBS, FOX)

You can even get a $14/month subscription to enjoy content ad-free.

However, you won’t be able to stream NFL Network games or games shown on Fox, NBC, or ESPN. In other words, Paramount+ is a great choice for those who watch content on CBS only.
