Sunday Night Football on NBC caps off a full day of NFL action.

Watch abroad with a VPN
One of three weekly primetime games along with Thursday Night Football and Monday Night Football, Sunday Night Football is set to feature many of the league's best teams and exciting matchups. NBC will also host a few special non-Sunday night broadcasts throughout the year that will be handled by the Sunday Night Football team.
Here is everything you need to know about how to watch Sunday Night Football to get yourself ready for a full season of action.
How to watch Sunday Night Football in the US
NBC is widely available to viewers across the US via their local NBC stations. If you subscribe to traditional cable, catching the game is simple, as NBC is included on all basic cable packages. You can also watch the games on the NBC Sports app or at NBCSports.com when you provide your TV provider login.
NBC is also available on live TV streaming services like Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. Each of these offers a mix of channel packages and services. We think Sling TV offers the best value for Sunday Night Football fans. You can watch Sunday Night Football on Sling TV Blue, which goes for $40 per month.
Streaming of the game is also available through Peacock, which live-streams NBC's Sunday Night Football game every week.
As a nationally televised game, Sunday Night Football is also going to be available to live stream on NFL Plus, but only through a mobile device.
How to watch Sunday Night Football in the UK
NFL fans in the UK have the opportunity to watch Sunday Night Football games and other NBC NFL broadcasts via Sky Sports' NFL Channel, which is available through a Sky TV subscription.
If that's too late (or early) for you, NFL Game Pass is an option. The international version of this subscription service offers live broadcasts of games as well as the opportunity to watch the full broadcast on-demand or a condensed version of the broadcast that only features the plays.
How to watch Sunday Night Football from anywhere
If you're going to be away from your normal TV setup but still want to watch Sunday Night Football, you might run into some problems. Thankfully, you can solve this exact issue with a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Sunday Night Football week 15: Packers vs Seahawks
If the season were to end today, the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks would play in the opening round of the playoffs. A lot can happen between now and then (neither team has clinched a playoff spot, and the Seahawks are only up a game in their division), but if that does come to pass, this will be a fun preview of how these two teams stack up.
The Packers four losses this season are to the 12-1 Lions, the 11-2 Eagles and the 11-2 Vikings, and in total their point differential across all of those games is just 20 points. In a nutshell, this is a very good team. Jordan Love has been playing fantastic in recent weeks with his deep pool of receivers, while Josh Jacobs has eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing. Meanwhile, the defense is solid and has a tendency to force turnovers (they're tied for third in the league in most turnovers generated), though they are a bit banged up, with a number of players questionable for the game.
Seattle is on a four-game winning streak at the moment, but will need to make it five if they want to hold onto their slim lead in the NFC West. The defense has been a big part of this recent surge, creating timely turnovers and big plays, while Geno Smith has led an offense doing what's needed of them. That includes Zach Charbonnet, who stepped in for starting running back Kenneth Walker last week and rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns, nearly half of his full season output. With Walker questionable for this week's game, they'll need him, and the defense, to step up once again.
