Paramount+ NFL: Stream Live Games, Highlights, and Exclusive Football Content

When you subscribe to Paramount+ NFL, a sports streaming package that delivers live NFL games, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, and classic matchups. Also known as NFL on Paramount+, it’s the official home for Sunday afternoon games broadcast by CBS, plus Thursday night games and playoff coverage. This isn’t just another streaming add-on—it’s how millions of fans watch their favorite teams without a cable contract.

Paramount+ NFL works hand-in-hand with local TV broadcasts, the traditional way fans access their team’s games. If your team plays on CBS, you get the same feed on Paramount+, no antenna needed. It also includes NFL RedZone, a channel that cuts to every touchdown from every game on Sunday afternoon. You don’t need a separate subscription—you get it bundled if you’re on the right Paramount+ plan. And if you’re watching on mobile, you can use data saver modes to cut bandwidth without losing the action—something you’ll find useful if you’re on the go.

What makes Paramount+ NFL stand out isn’t just the games. It’s the extras: post-game analysis from CBS Sports analysts, full-game replays, condensed 40-minute versions of every match, and original documentaries like Inside the NFL. You can even set reminders for kickoff times, use voice commands to launch games on your TV, and create separate profiles so the kids don’t accidentally start watching highlights of last year’s Super Bowl.

Some people think they need ESPN+ or NFL Sunday Ticket to get full access, but that’s not true if you live in a market where CBS broadcasts your team. Paramount+ NFL gives you the core experience: live local games, national broadcasts, and the best of NFL coverage—all in one place. And if you’re trying to cut costs, you can downgrade your plan and still keep the NFL feed, as long as you stay on the Essential or Premium tier.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan who watches every snap or someone who only tunes in for the big games, Paramount+ NFL gives you the tools to watch smarter. Below, you’ll find real guides on how to organize your streaming apps so NFL games are easy to find, how to use email filters to catch free trial offers before they expire, and how to set up family profiles so everyone gets the right content. No fluff. Just what works.
