Staggering cost to watch every NFL game next season with 10 subscriptions needed [View all]

Football fans around the world can watch all NFL games on one app with just one subscription. However, those in the United States do not have that luxury, with a record 10 subscriptions now required to do so. Several different platforms now have exclusive rights in the United States, including Netflix, Paramount, and YouTube, alongside regular broadcasters such as FOX, CBS, NBC, and ESPN.

In recent years, we have seen these media giant companies pay big bucks to bring in the likes of Tom Brady (FOX) to call plays, with Tony Romo (NBC) signing a huge deal to color commentate. And the NFL's continued growth has seen the sport become even more expensive to watch for fans in the United States.

To watch all NFL games this season, fans will need subscriptions for Netflix, Prime Video, NFL Network, NBC, FOX, CBS, ESPN+, Paramount+, YouTube TV and NFL Sunday Ticket. For fans to subscribe to all 10 of those streaming services, you'll have to fork out between $800 and $1,200 for a full-year subscription.

As well as the NFL now being shown on a record 10 platforms, the league will play games on four continents for the first time. While the league will return to Mexico and Brazil in 2026, we will also see games in four different countries in Europe. The NFL has found a home in London, where three games are held each year: the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosts two games, and Wembley Stadium hosts the other.
