NFL Playoff Games: Complete Schedule + How to Stream Online

I can’t contain my excitement as the 2023-24 NFL playoffs get underway.

In a hurry? You can watch the whole NFL playoff schedule with these streaming services:

Why You Need a VPN Today

However, first you need a VPN to unblock US streaming services from . Our favourite is ExpressVPN. It’s definitely not the cheapest option at $4.99/month, but it just works – and across all your devices.

They have servers in 25+ US cities/states and 105 countries, which unblock access to premium streaming platforms available only in the US, as well as free “on demand” TV services worldwide.

You’ll have access to local platforms as if you were in the country, meaning you can watch BBC iPlayer as if you were in the UK, CBC Gem as if you were in Canada, plus hundreds more worldwide.

Sign Up for ExpressVPN

Hotdog users get three months free at ExpressVPN, so it’s a “no-brainer” for us. Decide for yourself with their 30 day money-back guarantee.

IMPORTANT: Once you’ve installed your VPN and connected to a US server, you’ll still need to subscribe separately to access premium streaming services.

How to Watch the NFL Playoffs

Four of the live TV streaming services allow you to watch every playoff game (with one possible Wild Card game exception). There are also some lower-cost services that provide limited coverage.

Get Local NFL Channels Free With an Antenna

It is easy to dismiss antennas when looking to watch big sporting events. We are all on the internet and streaming just seems easier. But the antenna is probably the cord-cutter’s most powerful tool.

For roughly $30, you can get a high-definition antenna that, in most areas, will allow you to watch 12 of the 13 NFL playoff games including the Super Bowl. That’s a one-time cost. The antenna should last you for many years.

For more information, see our antenna guide.

Wrapping Up

You can watch every game of the 2023 NFL playoffs with four of the top live TV streaming services or by combining lower-cost streaming services.

For example, you can watch all of the games with Sling TV and Paramount+ together for just $59.99/mo. If you don’t mind missing the ESPN game, it’s only $44.99/mo (and you can still watch the Super Bowl).

Our top choice to watch the 2024 NFL playoffs is Fubo. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.
