Understanding NFL Broadcast Rules

NFL broadcasting rights are segmented between regional Sunday afternoon packages and exclusive national packages. Here is how blackouts and availability operate:

What is an In-Market vs. Out-of-Market Game?

If you live inside the television market of either participating team (typically within 75 to 100 miles of the metro stadium area), you are considered In-Market. The NFL mandates that local affiliate stations (CBS or FOX) carry the game free over-the-air. NFL Sunday Ticket does NOT show in-market games because of these local broadcast exclusivity protections.

How can I watch 100% free with an HD Antenna?

Any game televised on FOX, CBS, NBC, or ABC is broadcast uncompressed over digital airwaves. With a $20 indoor antenna plugged into your television's coaxial port, you receive crystal-clear 1080i/720p 60fps broadcasts with zero latency and zero monthly subscriptions.

What games are exclusive to streaming platforms?

Thursday Night Football is exclusive to Amazon Prime Video nationwide. Peacock carries select exclusive wild card and international games. Netflix broadcasts Christmas Day doubleheaders. However, by NFL rule, the two participating teams' home markets always receive a free over-the-air simulcast on local affiliate TV.

What does NFL+ offer on mobile?

NFL+ allows fans to stream live local in-market and national primetime games for $6.99/mo, but restricted specifically to smartphones and tablets. It cannot be cast or natively run on a smart TV for live games.
