Fubo Channels You Need to Watch NFL Games
So the key TV channels you need to watch NFL, all of which Fubo provides, are:
- CBS (CBS Sports Network)
- ESPN (ESPN2)
- Fox (Fox Sports: FS1, FS2)
- NBC (USA, Golf Channel)
- NFL Network
In order to watch NFL on Fubo, you’ll need to be in a location that has access to CBS, NBC, and Fox. These local channels broadcast almost all the NFL games. CBS and Fox share the Sunday afternoon games. And NBC airs Sunday Night Football.
ESPN (sometimes along with ABC) airs Monday Night Football. Thursday Night Football used to be the domain (although not exclusive) of NFL Network. But starting in 2022, that is not the case.
Amazon Prime Video is the exclusive home of most Thursday Night Football games. If you want to watch it, you will need to sign up for that service. However, most people already do.
(NFL Network will be airing much of the preseason and a handful of regular season games.)
But other than the Thursday night matchups, Fubo has you covered for all the channels. There is one wrinkle, however. Most Sunday afternoons feature 3 games playing at a time on both CBS and Fox. And your local affiliates will carry only one at a time.
The solution? NFL RedZone. It allows you to watch all of the games at the same time with the most important moments getting the focus. The service shows up to 8 games at a time. It is also commercial-free.
Pro Tip: You don’t need NFL RedZone add-on to watch the playoffs and the Super Bowl.
You can get NFL RedZone as part of the Sports Plus add-on for $10.99/mo extra. This add-on includes 25+ other sports channels including MLB Network, MLB StrikeZone, NBA TV, and NHL Network.
That all means you can watch NFL games on Fubo all season long. You won’t miss a thing. It’s a complete cable replacement.

How Fubo Works

It also provides all the major national sports channels ESPN, ESPN2, CBS Sports Network, FS1, FS2, Golf Channel, and NFL Network. And it features international sports coverage with many channels of beIN Sports (English/Spanish) and TUDN (Spanish).
Depending where you live, Fubo provides your regional sports networks (RSNs). These include all of those from NBC Sports as well as AT&T SportsNet, Marquee Sports Network, MSG Network, NESN, Root Sports Northwest, and SportsNet New York.
Fubo also provides the general “cable” channels you expect like AMC, BET, Comedy Central, Discovery Channel, Disney Channel, FX, HGTV, MTV, Nickelodeon, OWN, Syfy, and USA.

FAQs
Can I watch the Super Bowl with Fubo?
Fubo allows you to watch the Super Bowl — this year and every other year. Beyond that, it allows you to watch every game of the playoffs. It also allows you to watch every regular season game that is broadcast in your area. Because many games are played at the same time, not all games are available to all viewers — regardless of the service you have.
How do I watch the NFL playoffs on Fubo?
All you need to do to watch the NFL playoffs with Fubo is sign up. Its base (Pro) plan provides all the channels that air the games: ABC, CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, Fox, and NBC. The Fubo app has a guide with all the channels listed. Just select the channel for each game and you will be on your way.
Actually, it’s easier than that. Fubo will show you the most popular programs coming up when you enter the app. The NFL playoff games will always be displayed. Just point and click and you’ll be watching in a second or two.
Is the CBS live stream on Fubo?
Yes, Fubo carries all the content that CBS offers, including live coverage on the CBS Sports Network, which will also get you NFL games as well as college football (NCAA) games. Without Fubo, if you just want to watch CBS without cable, you can install an over-the-air antenna and get HD live streams from your local CBS affiliate, too.
