Is NFL Plus Worth It?

We think NFL+ is worth it if you don’t mind watching live in-market games on your phone or tablet or want full-game replays because you’re busy on football Sundays.

NFL+ replaced NFL Game Pass for U.S.-based subscribers, now offering two plans and live in-market regular season and postseason games, which is a vast improvement, TBH.

Its plans start at $6.99 a month, but most NFL fans will want the Premium plan, which includes the replays and NFL RedZone Channel, at $14.99.

We go more in-depth on this topic in our NFL+ review.

The live NFL games available on NFL+ are the same games you can watch on your local channels. So, you’ll get access to your local Sunday morning and afternoon games, Sunday Night Football, and Monday Night Football.

The big catch—or fumble—is that live NFL+ games are only accessible on mobile phones and tablet devices. That means you can’t watch your favorite teams on your TV or desktop computer—so you’ll have to show off your 4K home entertainment setup another way.

Of course, you can already watch in-market NFL games if you have a cable, satellite, or live TV streaming subscription. Even a simple over-the-air (OTA) TV antenna will get you those same NFL matchups if you’re within range of your local ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC affiliates.

So our hot-take recommendation is to skip NFL+ if you already have TV service. But if you don’t have TV service, and you’re on a tight budget and starved for live football, go ahead and give NFL+ a try. It also includes the NFL RedZone Channel, which usually costs about $11 to add to your TV service.
