How Much NFL Football Can You Watch on Fubo?

✦ Edited and fact-checked by Taylor Kujawa, our Sports Editor with years of experience covering sports streaming.

Watching the NFL on Fubo can get you a large share of the 2026 season, especially if you’re an in-market fan who wants local Sunday games and national broadcasts in one live TV service. But your exact coverage depends on your location and plan.

Fubo’s NFL lineup can include local CBS, FOX, NBC, and ABC stations, along with ESPN and NFL Network. Together, those channels carry Sunday afternoon matchups, Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, and select international and special games.

Still, Fubo can’t deliver every NFL game on its own. Services like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Peacock, and NFL Sunday Ticket hold exclusive coverage for select matchups throughout the season. This guide breaks down which games Fubo includes, which plan offers the best value, how to add NFL RedZone, and what you’ll need to watch elsewhere.

What NFL channels are on Fubo?

Fubo carries the main linear channels NFL fans need, including local CBS and FOX stations for Sunday afternoon games, NBC for Sunday Night Football, ABC and ESPN for Monday Night Football, and NFL Network for select international matchups. Local channel availability depends on your zip code.

The lowest-priced option is typically Sports + News, which includes the same core NFL channels as Fubo’s larger English-language plans where available. Moving up to Pro, Elite, Core, or Ultra mainly adds broader entertainment, regional sports, and premium features — not significantly more NFL coverage. That said, Sports + News, Core, and Ultra are available only in select markets.

Which Fubo plan is best for NFL fans?

Fubo offers several plans, but availability varies by location, and some options are limited to select markets or existing subscribers. Because most plans include the same core NFL channels, the best choice depends more on price and the rest of the channel lineup than on football coverage.

We recommend Sports + News for viewers primarily interested in the NFL because it delivers the essential channels at the lowest monthly price where available. Consider a higher-tier plan only if you also want more entertainment channels, regional sports networks, or 4K programming.

Fubo NFL coverage breakdown

Fubo covers most NFL games shown on traditional broadcast and cable channels. Eligible subscribers can also add NFL RedZone through the Sports Plus add-on for Sunday afternoon whip-around coverage.

The main gaps are games exclusive to Prime Video, Netflix, or Peacock, along with out-of-market Sunday afternoon games on NFL Sunday Ticket. The table below shows which broadcasts Fubo includes and which require another service.

What NFL games are missing on Fubo?

Fubo’s largest coverage gaps are broadcasts exclusive to other streaming services, as well as out-of-market Sunday afternoon games.

As outlined in the previous section, Prime Video carries the regular Thursday Night Football schedule, plus the Black Friday, Christmas Eve, and New Year’s Eve games. Its 2026 coverage also includes a Wild Card playoff matchup.

Netflix will stream five games during the 2026 season: the Week 1 game in Australia, the Thanksgiving Eve matchup, a Christmas Day doubleheader, and one Saturday game during Week 18. Meanwhile, Peacock Premium will exclusively carry a Saturday night matchup during Week 17.

If you’re a fan of an out-of-market NFL team, you’re better off choosing YouTube TV as your base provider. That’s where you’ll find the NFL Sunday Ticket add-on for complete out-of-market coverage. However, you can also purchase Sunday Ticket as a standalone Primetime Channel via YouTube.

How much does Fubo cost for NFL fans?

Your total Fubo price depends on your plan, location, and add-ons. In addition to the advertised base price, customers whose plans include regional sports coverage may pay a regional sports fee of up to $16.99 per month. You’ll see that applicable fee during the signup process.

Adding NFL RedZone through Sports Plus will also increase your monthly total. And viewers who want every 2026 exclusive must budget separately for services like Prime Video and Netflix.

If you’re still on the fence about Fubo, the service offers a five-day free trial that lets you try it out without limitations. I like Fubo’s free trial because it’s super transparent. You’ll even see a countdown in your account settings to know exactly when the trial ends if you’re not ready to commit.
