NFL+ Basics
Formerly called NFL Game Pass, NFL+ is a great product for NFL fans on the go. It provides access to all nationally televised games and all the games of your local team. And it is only $6.99/month.
There is a catch, however. Subscribers can only watch on mobile devices. But if you aren’t at home for games — or you watch alone — this may be all you need. Just move your iPad close to you and enjoy the action in high-definition.
You can upgrade to NFL+ Premium for $14.99/month. For this, you get game replays and condensed games. And you can watch these on any device you want. You also get Coaches Film, which allows you to analyze the play in great detail.
NFL+ now includes NFL Network. And NFL+ Premium includes NFL RedZone.
NFL+ Features
NFL+ is a great overall service with many features:
- Stream on up to 5 devices at once.
- Every episode of Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, and Thursday Night Football.
- All out-of-market preseason games.
- Audio broadcasts of all games.
- NFL Films library programming on-demand, ad-free.
You can live stream games on Android and iOS phones and tablets. You can watch replays and other content on Amazon Fire TV, Android TV smart TVs, Apple TV, Roku, Xbox, and with your web browser via NFL.com.

NFL+ for the NFL Playoffs
Although NFL+ is somewhat limited during the regular season, it’s perfect for the postseason. You don’t have to find all these channels. All the games are in one place.
Alternatives to NFL+ for NFL Playoffs
NFL+ is a great service for watching the NFL playoffs. But it doesn’t really work if you are going to have friends over or are planning a Super Bowl party. Luckily, there are many options that will allow you to watch all the playoff games:
- Fubo (formerly called FuboTV): Get 150+ channel lineup with CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN, and NFL Network for $79.99/month. (Fubo review)

- YouTube TV: Over 100 channels for $82.99/month.
Note that all of these streaming services offer NFL RedZone (which allows you to watch all the regular season games simultaneously) as an add-on.
The following services offer some of the NFL playoff games:
- Sling TV: The Orange & Blue plan offers all the NFL channels except CBS for $55.00/month. (Sling TV review)

FAQs
Does NFL+ include Playoff, Pro Bowl, or Super Bowl games?
Yes, NFL+ caters to fans the whole NFL season. That starts with the preseason and ends with the playoffs. So you can watch all the postseason games, the Pro Bowl, and the big game, the Super Bowl, live. You are limited to mobile devices but this may make it worth investing in a large tablet.
Can I watch the playoffs with NFL Sunday Ticket?
No, you cannot watch any playoff games with NFL Sunday Ticket. It is an out-of-market streaming service and doesn’t apply to any postseason matchups. NFL+, which is in many ways the opposite of NFL Sunday Ticket, allows you to watch every playoff game. Forget about Sunday Ticket until next season.
