NFL Week 1: How to Watch and Live Stream

The NFL season starts on September 4, 2025, with exciting games. Week 1 has something for every fan, from big broadcasters to online services. Here is a list of the most important games, channels, and streaming choices to help you catch every moment.

Thursday Night Start

The season starts on Thursday, September 4, at 8:20 p.m. ET with a huge NFC East matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles. This final rematch, which will air on NBC, is between Dak Prescott and Jalen Hurts. Live stream on the NBC Sports app or Peacock. NFL+ can be accessed on mobile devices, and people in certain areas can tune in using over-the-air radios. This could be a preview for the Super Bowl, so get ready for fireworks.

Friday in Brazil’s history

The NFL teams from the United States and Brazil will play each other in São Paulo, Brazil, on Friday, September 5, at 8 p.m. ET. This free show is only available on YouTube, and you don’t need a subscription to watch it. Rich Eisen and Kurt Warner provide commentary, and Stacey Dales reports. A show called “Watch With” is run by influencer IShowSpeed. Fans in the US can listen to it on NFL+, while people around the world can use the YouTube app or website. This is the NFL’s riskiest live test so far.

Sunday Afternoon Blitz

There are 14 games on tap for Sunday, September 7, beginning at 1 p.m. ET. You can watch CBS’s AFC games, such as the Las Vegas Raiders vs. the New England Patriots, the Miami Dolphins vs. the Indianapolis Colts, and the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the New York Jets. You can watch NFC games on FOX, like the Arizona Cardinals vs. the New Orleans Saints and the New York Giants vs. the Washington Commanders. You can do this through the FOX Sports app or YouTube TV. Check 506 Sports for ban maps for your area. All out-of-market games are available with NFL Sunday Ticket ($378 with YouTube TV or $480 on its own), which also includes NFL RedZone for live highlights.

Showdowns in prime time

At 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday Night Football, the Detroit Lions play the Green Bay Packers on NBC and Peacock. This is a very important NFC North matchup. Monday, September 8, at 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN and ABC will show the Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears game. You can also watch it on ESPN+ or WatchESPN.

Options for Cutting the Cord

Hulu + Live TV ($82.99/month) and Fubo ($84.99/month) both let you watch CBS, FOX, NBC, and ESPN/NFL Network without cable. For fans on a budget, Sling TV’s Orange + Blue package ($55/month) includes ESPN and FOX. For $6.99 a month, NFL+ Basic lets you watch local and primetime games on your phone. International fans may run into geoblocks, so be careful when using VPNs.

Don’t Miss the Stars

Players like Jaguars youngster Travis Hunter and Chiefs veteran Patrick Mahomes will shine in Week 1. Now that flexible timing is coming up, plan what you’ll watch on the way to Super Bowl LIX. (450 words)
