Last season's calendar wasn't designed for fans — it was designed for streaming bidding wars. Here's the receipt.
If you wanted every Christmas game live, you needed BOTH Netflix AND Prime Video. No cable bundle, no antenna fallback, no Sunday Ticket workaround. Pay or miss.
31.6 million viewers — the largest streaming-exclusive NFL audience ever. No CBS/FOX/NBC/ABC simulcast. If you weren't a Prime subscriber, you didn't see the game live. Period.
The "let's split Saturday across four streamers" experiment. They liked the numbers enough to keep doing it.
This isn't a holiday gimmick. It's the structural baseline. Sunday Ticket exists because of this.
Netflix is locked into Christmas Day through 2026. Amazon's Wild Card exclusive renews. Peacock and Apple TV+ are circling more inventory. BE READY for the madness to continue — and probably escalate. We'll update this card the moment the new dates and matchups are announced.
Every NFL service in one table — what it costs, what games it covers. You do not need all of these. Rick's Picks above already narrowed it down. This is here in case you want to see the whole landscape.

NFL+ Premium ($14.99/mo) is built for this — every NFL game live on your phone, including local-market games which Sunday Ticket blacks out. NFL+ Premium also includes NFL Network 24/7 and RedZone. The catch: it's PHONE/TABLET ONLY — won't work on a streaming stick or TV. For a mobile-only household, NFL+ Premium plus an antenna (for casting to occasional TV viewing) is the cheapest legitimate path. Total: $15/mo.
Two minutes, six steps — picks the cheapest stack that covers every sport you actually watch live. Built for your ZIP, your team's local RSN, and your existing apps.
