How to Watch Out-of-Market NFL Games

There are a total of up to 13 games played each Sunday afternoon with only 4 that air in your local area. This leaves up to nine games unavailable to watch on regular TV. But you can still watch these out-of-market games.

Fans have a number of options. They vary in terms of price, ease of use, and constraints:

Out-of-Market Option	Description
VPNs	Combined with NFL+ or a live TV streaming service, you can make an out-of-market game in-market.
NFL+	Watch NFL replays of all games shortly after they finish.
NFL RedZone	Watch the most important parts of all the Sunday afternoon games as they happen.
NFL Sunday Ticket	Pricey, but you can stream any out-of-market NFL game.
NFL Game Pass	Allows you to watch all the games live — international viewers only.
Radio	Listening to games may seem like a second-best option, but all of the excitement comes through.
Friends	Football is best watched with friends. Or with strangers at a bar or restaurant.

Our next section discusses each of these options in depth.

How Use a VPN to Watch NFL Games: Step-by-Step

Follow these steps to watch out-of-market NFL games:

1. Get a premium VPN that “just works” for sports streaming. We recommend ExpressVPN. Our VPN guide tells you which VPNs offer which US city/state locations. Most have a 30-day money back guarantee.
2. Get the right streaming service. Our Out-of-Market VPN Guide tells all but we are very fond of Fubo.
3. Install the VPN. This is very easy – just follow the step-by-step instructions after purchase. Download the software or iOS/Android app and login.
4. Choose your new location. For example, if you want to watch a “San Francisco 49ers at Chicago Bears” game, you’ll need a San Francisco or Chicago IP address. With most VPNs, including our favorite ExpressVPN, this is as simple as clicking the city on a map. Our server table will tell you which locations are available with which VPN brands.
5. Watch the game.

✔ Watch best parts of Sunday afternoon games	❌ Doesn’t include full out-of-market games

You can get NFL RedZone from a number of live TV streaming services:

• Fubo (formerly FuboTV): The king of international sports is also the cheapest service for local fans of the MLB, NBA, and NHL teams. It costs $74.99/mo but to get RedZone, you need the Sports Plus add-on for $10.99/mo. (Fubo review)

4. NFL Sunday Ticket: Complete Out-of-Market Package

Pros	Cons
✔ Includes all out-of-market games	❌ More expensive than other options
	❌ In-market games not included

YouTube + Sunday Ticket provides access to all out-of-market games. YouTube TV alone provides access to most in-market games. YouTube TV + Sunday Ticket provides access to most in-market games and all out-of-market games.

The gold standard in streaming out-of-market games is NFL Sunday Ticket. It allows you to watch whatever games you want. This year, it is available either from YouTube directly or as an add-on for YouTube TV.

It’s unfortunately the more expensive way to watch NFL games:

• YouTube: $449
• YouTube TV: $349 plus $72.99/mo

You can add NFL RedZone for the entire season to either plan for $40 extra.

For full details, see our NFL Sunday Ticket review. See our YouTube TV review for details to livestream whatever games you want, whether they are in market or out-of-market.

6. Listen to Out-of-Market NFL Games on the Radio

Pros	Cons
✔ Inexpensive or even free	❌ Audio only
✔ Universal coverage

Listen to all NFL games with SirusXM from wherever you are!

• SiriusXM — $7.99/mo

7. Watch Out-of-Market Games With Friends

Pros	Cons
✔ Free	❌ Availability
✔ Camaraderie

Friends, co-workers, and even a local pub or restaurant can be a great option for watching hard-to-find NFL games.

This is our favorite way to watch out-of-market NFL games. Super Bowl parties are a big deal for most people. But there’s no reason to reserve this for the biggest game of the season.

Football is best enjoyed with friends and family. Most people know that and welcome company — especially if it comes with drinks and snacks!

Of course, it works the other way too. If you manage to get access to out-of-market games using one of the means listed above, share your bounty with your friends, co-workers, and family members.

Sign Up for a Free Fubo Trial

Alternatively, you could watch games in public. Many restaurants, bars, and similar establishments show games on Sunday afternoons.

• Sports Bars: There are probably many places near you that specialize in showing sports and these will usually show all of the games airing on a Sunday afternoon. Search Google for “sports bars near me” or similar. You can also search for sober bars.
• Restaurants: Often restaurants show sports via satellite television. And even if they are limited to a single game, they may change a channel if you ask them.

There are lots of other places to watch live sports — including many chain restaurants. The problem is that unless they are focused on sports, they are likely to only feature the same in-market games you’ll see via an antenna.

But the big thing to keep in mind is that they can all get very expensive if you are eating and drinking at them. Depending where you live, it might be easy to spend as much on food and drink as a whole season of Sling TV with NFL RedZone would cost.

Worst Way to Watch Out-of-Market NFL Games

There are a number of websites that tout illegal streams for watching NFL games. These dodgy sites rationalize their “services” by saying that NFL games should be free to viewers. 

We disagree. NFL broadcasts are legally copyrighted. What’s more, the league already offers six games per week for free over-the-air. Watching games via pirate streaming services is wrong.

Even if you don’t agree that essentially stealing NFL games is immoral, we don’t recommend illegal streams for other reasons:

• If the website or service you’re using is found by authorities — and they regularly are — you can bet your identifying information will be on a list somewhere that law enforcement can access.
• Because they are illegal setups, these sites are often shut down without notification — even in the middle of a game. 
• These sites are not making legitimate money so they are often riddled with malware. Your  computer, your payment methods, and your identity may be at risk when you use them. 

If that’s not enough to deter you, the product they offer is often of low quality. Picture sharpness and resolution are sacrificed for bandwidth savings. Buffering of the stream can get bogged down and lag can put you many minutes behind what’s actually happening live.

You’re much better off trying a streaming service for free to watch a one-off game instead of using a scammy website.

Out-of-Market NFL Games: What You Need to Know

An out-of-market NFL game is any NFL game that isn’t shown on your local Fox or CBS affiliate on Sunday afternoon. The reason for this is simply that a lot of games happen at the same time and local affiliates only show those games that will be of interest to the greatest number of viewers.

Local NFL Games You Have Access To

During the regular season, anywhere from zero up to 7 of a team’s regular season games will be televised nationally. In 2023, the Texans and Cardinals will have no games nationally televised while the Chiefs and the Bills will have seven games nationally televised.

There are three nationally televised games each week:

National Game	Airs On
Thursday Night Football	Amazon Prime Video
Sunday Night Football	NBC/Peacock
Monday Night Football	ESPN — some also on ABC, ESPN2, and ESPN+

In addition, there are 5 international games throughout the season (they air Sunday mornings), 3 Thanksgiving Day games, and 3 Christmas Day games.

Each Sunday afternoon, you will also have access to 4 games — two each on Fox and CBS. These games will normally be determined by local fan interest. So you will also see the game featuring your local team. And you will generally see games featuring teams in your local team’s division.

What Are Out-of-Market Games?

Out-of-market games in the National Football League are those that aren’t broadcast in your local area. They are only the games that are played on Sunday afternoon (Eastern Time); all other games are nationally broadcast.

Since there are up to 13 games played on Sunday afternoons (it goes down as low as 10 as the season progresses), there will be 4 in-market games (broadcast on CBS and Fox) and as many as 9 out-of-market games.

This is what the Sunday afternoon programming looked like for the first week of the 2023 NFL season (the rest are similar):

Channel	1:00 pm	4:25 pm
Local CBS	1 game	1 game
Local Fox	1 game	1 game
Out-of-Market	6 games	3 games

What Are NFL Blackouts?

A blackout is when a game is not broadcast in the local TV market — usually because the game did not sell out. It is a way to encourage people to buy tickets and watch games in person.

The NFL has such a blackout policy but it has suspended it every year since 2015.

So why are we discussing it in the context of out-of-market NFL games?

One reason is that blackouts relate to NFL Sunday Ticket. All games broadcast on local channels are blacked out and are not included with Sunday Ticket, which means:

• Sunday afternoon games on local CBS and Fox affiliates
• Primetime games
• International games
• Holiday games

Wrapping Up

There are lots of options for how to watch out-of-market NFL games. Here are the options we discussed above:

Option	Benefit	Disadvantage
VPNs	Greater control of streaming	Incomplete option
NFL+ Premium	All games	Not live
NFL RedZone	Simultaneous games live	No complete games
NFL Sunday Ticket	All out-of-market games	Expensive
NFL Game Pass	All games	Not available in USA
Radio	All games	Audio only
Friends	Free	Limited availability

But for most football fans, we recommend Fubo along with NFL RedZone. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.

FAQs

Should I get NFL Sunday Ticket?

We don’t think Sunday Ticket is good value for most NFL fans. Most people are served very well by the national and local channels — especially if you add on NFL RedZone. But there definitely are fans that should get Sunday Ticket. The most obvious are fans of a particular team that is out-of-market.

There are other aspects of NFL Sunday Ticket that can make it worthwhile. Coaches Film, for example, is important to some fans. But fans who really want to study games can probably get all they want (including Coaches Film) with NFL+ Premium.

What is an NFL primetime game?

NFL primetime games are those that occur at night during the TV primetime hours. Some holiday games (eg, Thanksgiving) are primetime games. But mostly, the primetime games are the Thursday Night, Sunday Night, and Monday Night football games. Note that all of these games are broadcast or streamed nationally.

Are there out-of-market games outside the United States?

In the vast majority of locations, there are no out-of-market games outside the US. You just subscribe to NFL Game Pass International and you can watch any game. But there are a few exceptions. First, China is excluded. Second, there are local blackouts for international games. So in 2023, some viewers in the UK will miss out on two games. And the same is true for fans in Germany.

What games are not included with NFL Sunday Ticket?

As the name implies, NFL Sunday Ticket provides access to Sunday games — but not all of them. The following game may be excluded:

• Local games broadcast on CBS and Fox
• Sunday night games
• Monday night games
• Thursday night games
• International games
• Holiday games

How can I watch out-of-market NFL games without YouTube/YouTube TV?

Generally, you can watch out-of-market NFL games by using a VPN in combination with a live TV streaming service such as Fubo, DIRECTV STREAM, and Hulu + Live TV. These services provide local network affiliates for CBS and Fox and by changing your virtual location, you should be able to watch games that are out of market for you.

Most fans will be better off with NFL RedZone, which lets you livestream the best parts of all Sunday afternoon games at once. You can get NFL RedZone through the three services above as well as Sling TV and Vidgo.

How can I livestream out-of-market NFL games for free?

Currently, there is no legal way to livestream out-of-market NFL games for free, except via a free streaming trial. We advise against using illegal streams. And recently, there has been a big crackdown on these sites so you may not be able to find one anyway. But remember, local affiliates broadcast in-market games for free. Seriously consider setting up a digital antenna.

What NFL games are out-of-market?

In the United States, the only games that are out-of-market are played Sunday afternoon (Eastern Time). At that time, 4 local games are broadcast in-market (two on CBS and two on Fox). All the rest (up to 9 games) are not broadcast locally. These are the out-of-market games.

Can I livestream NFL games on ESPN+?

You can livestream a dozen games this season on ESPN+:

Date	Time	Teams
Mon Sep 11	8:15 pm	Buffalo Bills at New York Jets
Mon Sep 18	8:15 pm	Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers
Mon Sep 25	7:15 pm	Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sun Oct 1	9:30 am	Atlanta Falcons vs Jacksonville Jaguars
Mon Nov 20	8:15 pm	Philadelphia Eagles at Kansas City Chiefs
Mon Dec 11	8:15 pm	Green Bay Packers at New York Giants
Mon Dec 25	8:15 pm	Baltimore Ravens at San Francisco 49ers
Sat Dec 30	8:15 pm	Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys
Sat Jan 6	4:30 pm & 8:15 pm	Double Header Saturday
Mon Jan 15	TBD	Wildcard Monday
Sat/Sun Jan 20/21	TBD	Divisional Playoff

Can I livestream out-of-market games on NFL Network?

NFL Network is a national TV channel and so doesn’t air any out-of-market games. Any games it airs are by definition in-market. The channel now mostly broadcasts preseason games, but you’ll also find:

• Four early-morning International NFL Games in London and Frankfurt
• Week 15 Saturday Tripleheader
• Holiday Classic (Christmas Eve)

Now that Thursday Night Football games have moved to Amazon Prime Video, NFL Network mostly has news and commentary as well as NFL Films productions.

What is the cheapest way to watch out-of-market NFL games?

NFL+ Premium for $14.99/mo is the cheapest way to watch out-of-market NFL games. But there’s a catch: you can only watch them on replay. If you want to watch live, your cheapest option will be to combine a streaming service that offers in-market games with a VPN. Sunday Ticket with YouTube is a lower-cost option but it does not include any in-market games.

Can I use a VPN to livestream NFL games that are out-of-market?

You can definitely watch out-of-market NFL games with the help of a VPN. A VPN can change your apparent streaming location so that your live TV streaming service will offer you the network affiliates in that area, which show out-of-market games. ExpressVPN allows you to change your streaming location to make out-of-market games in-market and vice versa.

See our Out-of-Market NFL Game VPN guide for all you need to know about using a VPN to stream NFL games.

How do I change my location to watch out-of-market NFL games?

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) can change your location for streaming. You just select a server in a city you are interested in streaming from, and click the city name to connect. However, you will need to know what city is right for your purpose. See our VPN guide for a list of each team and the VPNs that offer that US city or state.

How can I get Sunday Ticket Without DIRECTV?

DIRECTV no longer offers NFL Sunday Ticket. This is a big change because the satellite TV provider was the first and only service to offer Sunday Ticket from its start in 1994. But starting in 2023, YouTube and YouTube TV took over the contract, which they have for 7 seasons.

Can I livestream out-of-market NFL games with Paramount+?

Paramount+ will not allow you to livestream out-of-market games. You will get to watch the two NFL games that air on your local CBS affiliate and any nationally broadcast games like Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Paramount+ is a great addition to Sling TV and Vidgo, since they don’t offer CBS channels.

Does Peacock livestream out-of-market NFL games?

Peacock does not livestream any out-of-market games. It presented Sunday Night Football as well as two Thursday evening games during the regular season. And it will exclusively stream one Wild Card game in the postseason this year. All of these games are available nationwide and so are, by definition, in-market games.

Does Fubo offer all NFL games?

Fubo’s basic plan for $74.99/mo offers all the channels that air NFL games: ABC, CBS, ESPN, Fox, NBC, and NFL Network. But since you will only get your local CBS and Fox affiliates, you will only get access to four of the roughly dozen games each Sunday afternoon. You can expand this selection with a VPN.

Fubo’s 1,000-hour DVR storage does mean you can record games on one channel as you watch the other. If you spring for the Sports Plus add-on, you can get NFL RedZone, which gives you whip-around coverage to show you the best parts of all the games that are happening at once.

Also note that you’ll still need Amazon Prime Video for Thursday night games.

Are there any out-of-market NFL playoff games?

All NFL playoff matchups are broadcast nationally. Once the postseason arrives, the out-of-market issue is over and there are no blackouts. All wild card, division, conference, and Super Bowl games are available to everyone and are staggered so you can watch every minute of every game.

Which is better for NFL: Sling Blue or Orange?

Sling Orange has ESPN, which you’ll want for Monday Night Football. The easy-but-expensive answer is to get Sling Blue + Orange for $55.00/mo. That will get you ESPN, plus Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and the NFL Network. If you are in an area Sling covers, you would also get NBC and Fox local broadcasts, too.

The alternative is to pick Sling Orange, which will give you ESPN, and get an antenna for NBC and Fox. You’ll have to do without the NFL Network, though, and you’ll be limited to streaming on one device at a time.

The third option is to get Sling Blue, which will give you FS1, NFL Network, and NBC and Fox (where available).

In all these cases, you will need to find a way to get the CBS games. You can do so with either an antenna or a Paramount+ subscription.

Can I livestream out-of-market NFL games with Hulu + Live TV?

Hulu + Live TV is a good service for NFL fans but it doesn’t allow you to watch out-of-market games. It does, however, allow you the choice of four games on Sunday afternoon along with the Sunday and Monday night games. You can also get NFL RedZone to manage all the simultaneous games on Sunday Afternoon.

Are out-of-market NFL games available with YouTube TV?

YouTube now has exclusive rights to NFL Sunday Ticket through both YouTube Primetime Channels and YouTube TV. Getting it through YouTube TV is the better choice since it also offers all the local network affiliates, ESPN, and NFL Network. So you are all set to watch whatever games you want for the whole season — except for those that air on Thursday Night Football, which requires Amazon Prime.

Can I stream out-of-market games live on NFL+?

You cannot watch out-of-market NFL games live on NFL+. In fact, NFL+ really is an in-market service — designed for local fans. However, if you get NFL+ Premium, you can watch all the in-market and out-of-market games you like — but you can’t watch them live, only as replays.

If you combine NFL+ with a VPN, you should be able to watch out-of-market games. See our VPN guide for more information.

How do I bypass NFL blackouts for out-of-market games?

If you are signed up for NFL Sunday Ticket, you will not get access to any local NFL games. There are a few solutions to this. The most obvious is to use a VPN to change your online location. But this does limit you to Sunday afternoon games.

You will get slightly better coverage if you set up a digital antenna. In most areas, this will allow you to watch all the local games (but not Monday- and Thursday-night games). The other option is to combine Sunday Ticket with a live TV streaming service.
