Watch NFL 2025/26 live streams as the NFC and AFC champions go head-to-head at the big one on Sunday, February 8 – the Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots at Super Bowl LX. Below we have all the info on how to watch NFL football from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

It's no great surprise to see the Seahawks in the NFL championship game after their fantastic 14-3 regular season and Sam Darnold's superb year. That said, they had to see through a tense, scoreless 4th quarter of their NFC final against the LA Rams, eventually holding their nerve to win 31-27 and ensuring a first Super Bowl appearance since 2015.

There they faced – you guessed it – the New England Patriots, who had the better of that day 11 years ago. Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye are now seeking to be the new Brady–Belichick and begin building a new dynasty at the Foxborough-based franchise.

Here's where to watch NFL 2025/26 live streams online from anywhere – starting with FREE options and the options to watch Super Bowl LX.

How to watch NFL 2025/26 live streams in the US

As ever, coverage of the 2025 NFL season is shared between a dizzying array of TV channels and streaming services. They include:

Amazon Prime Video/Twitch: Thursday night, Black Friday
CBS: Sunday afternoon, Thanksgiving
Fox: Sunday afternoon, Thanksgiving
NBC/Peacock: Sunday night, Thanksgiving, SUPER BOWL LX
ESPN/ABC: Monday night
NFL Network: International games
Netflix: Christmas

If you're a cord cutter and wondering how you'll get access to the big TV networks, covering all your bases may not be quite as tricky as it looks.

Sling TV, for example, is an OTT service that gives access to a good proportion of games. Its Sling Blue package ($51 per month) offers local NBC and Fox channels in most major markets as well as NFL Network, while Sling Orange ($46 per month) carries ESPN (and ABC simulcasts). Go for an Orange + Blue plan for $66 per month ($35 for first month) and you'll get access to a large number of NFL games, including both primetime and local broadcasts.

A costlier but even more thorough alternative is Fubo, which includes CBS, Fox, ESPN, ABC and NFL Network – nearly all the TV channels you need to tune into the NFL this season. Prices start at $84.99 a month but new users get a FREE Fubo trial.

YouTube TV is another alternative option, and you can try it free right now!
