Sunday Night Football on NBC has become a TV staple, but can you watch it and other games from the NFL on Peacock? The short answer is yes.

During the NFL regular season Peacock  live streams of NFL games every week, specifically the weekly primetime Sunday Night Football matchup. This is just one of the available live sports on Peacock, which also includes baseball, golf, college football, WWE and more. 

Here is everything that you need to know about how to watch NFL on Peacock this year.

How to watch NFL on Peacock

Plain and simple, if you want to watch the NFL on Peacock, all you need to do is sign up for the streaming service through either of its subscription plans. Both Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus offer live streams of all live sporting events, including the NFL.

Peacock Premium is available for $7.99 per month ($79.99 per year), while Peacock Premium Plus goes for $13.99 per month ($139.99 per year). 

The big difference between the two plans is actually what you get outside of the NFL and sports. Peacock Premium Plus is ad-free and gives you access to live stream your local NBC station, meaning you can watch any NBC TV show or other programming live as it originally airs. With Peacock Premium you have to wait until it becomes available the next day to stream. Again, this does not apply to sports, as both plans allow you to stream those live. 

Can you watch the NFL on Peacock for free?

Unfortunately, Peacock no longer offers a free trial, so you cannot watch the NFL, or anything for that matter, on Peacock for free.  

2024 NFL games on Peacock

After Peacock had three games in week 1, the streamer is settling in what is expected to be its regular routine most of the rest of the season: only streaming the weekly Sunday Night Football matchup. But considering that is usually one of the marquee matchups of the week, Peacock subscribers are still getting access to some great football action.

Here's the NFL game streaming on Peacock this week:

Sunday, September 15

  • Chicago Bears vs Houston Texans, 8:20 pm ET/5:20 pm PT
