Best TV plans for watching Sunday Night Football

With NBC airing Sunday Night Football, you can access every game through most cable, satellite, and live TV streaming services. But NBC is also available as an over-the-air (OTA) TV station and is accessible in several areas nationwide with a digital antenna.

If you have an antenna within range of a local NBC affiliate, you’ll get Sunday Night Football games through 2033 without signing up for a TV plan. You can even get Spanish-language coverage through Telemundo over the air. But you’ll need to be closer to a large metropolitan area to pick up that channel.

Antenna TV isn’t for everyone, especially if you prefer watching on the go. Luckily, Peacock carries Sunday Night Football in its premium plans—with plans from $7.99–$13.99/mo. The streaming service even offers an exclusive game in Week 2, NBC’s Football Night in America studio show, and the Peacock Sunday Night Football Final postgame show. Of course, that’s all on top of Peacock’s immense library of TV shows and movies, keeping you entertained for the other six nights of the week.

Which TV providers carry Sunday Night Football?

Many popular TV providers carry the channels you’ll need to watch Sunday Night Football. Perhaps you’re looking for a more comprehensive TV plan than what Peacock or an antenna can provide. If so, we’ve highlighted other top services that carry NBC, Telemundo, and UNIVERSO in the table below.

How to watch Sunday Night Football for free

Get Free Local Channels
Recommended antenna:
Mohu Leaf 50 ($39.99, one-time purchase)
SNF channels:
NBC and Telemundo
Features:
All local broadcast channels

CableTV.com utilizes paid Amazon links. Amazon.com Price; $39.99 (as of 6/10/25 2:40 p.m. CT). Read full disclaimer.

The easiest way to watch Sunday Night Football games for free is by connecting a digital antenna to your TV. NBC is a common antenna channel, while Telemundo is also available in larger metropolitan areas. But you can verify if either channel is accessible in your city by entering your zip code in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Reception Map Tool.

If your zip code check was successful, you’ll need an antenna with a range that matches or exceeds the tower distance listed on the FCC’s site. The antenna itself won’t be free, but it’s a one-time purchase that will grant you free access to all the OTA channels in your area for years to come.

We recommend the Mohu Leaf 50 because it has a 60-mile range with preamplified technology for better reception. It’s even 4K-ready for channels that broadcast 4K Ultra HD content. And who wouldn’t want to see their favorite NFL team in full 4K?
