NFL Game Pass Review

In the U.S., the legacy NFL Game Pass has been replaced by NFL+. Current pricing is $6.99 per month or $49.99 per year for NFL+, and $14.99 per month or $99.99 per year for NFL+ Premium, which adds full and condensed replays and Coaches Film (All-22), plus NFL RedZone on mobile (NFL+; The Verge; CNET; Engadget). Live regular-season and postseason games on NFL+ are limited to mobile phones and tablets for your local Sunday and nationally televised primetime windows; out-of-market Sunday afternoon games are sold separately as NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube/YouTube TV (NFL+ Terms). Outside the U.S., the service operates as NFL Game Pass on DAZN, which generally offers every game live in eligible countries (regular season, playoffs, and Super Bowl) with market-specific blackouts and pricing displayed at checkout (DAZN: What is NFL Game Pass International?; DAZN FAQ).

NFL Game Pass at a Glance

How We Evaluated NFL Game Pass

We evaluated today’s NFL offerings across two distinct products: NFL+ for U.S. viewers and NFL Game Pass International delivered on DAZN for international markets. Key criteria included live game availability by device and market, replay and film study tools, pricing and billing cadence, and how they complement broader NFL distribution such as NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube/YouTube TV. NFL+ provides live local and primetime games on mobile and tablets only, live out-of-market preseason games on all devices, and replays/Coaches Film with Premium (NFL+ Subscribe; Terms). Internationally, DAZN’s NFL Game Pass generally streams every game live in eligible countries, with blackouts varying by territory (DAZN overview; DAZN blackouts).

We also considered how these services fit within the modern NFL streaming landscape. You’ll need YouTube TV or similar live TV bundles for full TV-device access to local networks and ESPN, and Sunday Ticket for out-of-market Sunday afternoon games. Complementary exclusives include Thursday Night Football on Prime Video and an exclusive NFL Wild Card game on Peacock in January 2025.

Methodologically, we prioritized official product pages, terms, and league or distributor help resources to verify live rights, device limits, and plan details, and we cross-referenced pricing with independent tech outlets covering the latest season launches (NFL+; DAZN; The Verge; CNET; Engadget).

Key NFL Game Pass Features

Enhanced viewing experience

For U.S. fans, NFL+ lets you watch live local and primetime games on mobile and tablets, stream out-of-market preseason games live on all devices, and with Premium, access full and 45-minute condensed replays plus Coaches Film (All-22) for deeper analysis (NFL+). Internationally, DAZN’s NFL Game Pass generally carries every game live in eligible markets, including playoffs and the Super Bowl, subject to local blackouts. If you’re chasing simultaneous live windows on a TV device, note that multiview features are offered on some third-party platforms like YouTube TV Multiview and the Apple TV app for select events.

Exclusive content

NFL+ includes an on-demand library of NFL Films and NFL Originals (e.g., A Football Life, America’s Game, NFL 360, Mic’d Up) along with live NFL Network, and NFL RedZone on mobile with Premium (NFL+). The long-running HBO/NFL Films franchise Hard Knocks has expanded beyond its traditional summer series with new editions such as Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants and Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North, with all editions streaming on Max in the U.S. (HBO series hub). The NFL is also broadening archive access through free, ad-supported channels like The NFL Channel on Pluto TV and the official NFL Vault on YouTube. You can browse other impressive content from the league’s library.

Watch with multiple screens

Simultaneous viewing depends on your location and platform. In the U.S., NFL+ Terms limit live regular-season and primetime games to mobile and tablets; TV-device multiview for live NFL games typically comes via third-party services such as YouTube TV’s multiview or the Apple TV app on supported hardware. Internationally, DAZN’s NFL Game Pass supports a broad range of devices; check market device support and blackout rules before subscribing (DAZN NFL Game Pass FAQ; blackouts).

The Bottom Line

U.S. fans should treat NFL+ as a mobile-first companion: live local and primetime games on phones and tablets, live out-of-market preseason on all devices, and Premium replays, Coaches Film, and RedZone on mobile. To watch every out-of-market Sunday afternoon game live on TV devices, you’ll need NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV, and a live-TV bundle like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV for local networks and ESPN; add Prime Video for Thursday Night Football and Peacock for the January 2025 Wild Card exclusive. Outside the U.S., NFL Game Pass on DAZN is the comprehensive way to stream every game live in most markets, with country-specific pricing and blackout rules.
