Thanks to the NFL’s multi-year deals with media partners, you won’t have a hard time streaming NFL games on FireStick and other streaming devices. If you are only interested in NFL Sunday Night Football (SNF), read along to learn how to watch Sunday Night Football matches on FireStick without cable.

NFL 2024-25 Format and Details

Those using cable or satellite packages can subscribe to CBS, FOX, NBC, and ESPN channels and set themselves up for all the NFL action. However, that’s not the case with online streaming services.

Different media companies have access to specific NFL coverage. For this post, I will keep the focus on Sunday Night Football (SNF) matches.

SNF will start on September 8 when the Rams go against the Lions.

Attention FireStick Users

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If you use third-party streaming apps on your Fire TV Stick, you should always use a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity so your movie-viewing experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.

I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Here is why you must use a VPN all the time.

Who Has Streaming Rights for Sunday Night Football Matches in the US?

Sunday Night Football is one of the most-watched TV programs for the last ten seasons. Before you start signing up for any streaming service, it’s important to understand which media company hosts the SNF license. Otherwise, you may end up paying for a service that doesn’t carry relevant channels to stream Sunday Night Football games.

Back in March 2021, NBCUniversal and the NFL announced an 11-year extension deal to keep NBC Sports as the home of Sunday Night Football matches.

NBC is expected to pay $2 billion per year, almost doubling the amount they were paying before.

Sunday Night Football 2024-25 Schedule

How to Watch Sunday Night Football on FireStick (Official Apps)

NBC will stream all the 17 Sunday Night Football matches on the company’s Peacock streaming service. This is one of the reasons that NBC renewed the SNF contract with the NFL. The company wants to push its streaming service, Peacock, as much as possible.

Apart from that, streaming services that have NBC Sports channels can also stream Sunday Night Football matches to their subscribers.

Most of these apps are officially available from the Amazon App Store. So you won’t have a hard time finding and downloading them on FireStick.

The only issue is geo-restrictions. Apps like YouTube TV and Hulu TV aren’t available outside the US region. You need to install a VPN service like ExpressVPN to remove such limitations and enjoy NFL Sunday Night Football matches from anywhere.

I have covered the step-by-step process to live stream this event completely free. So read the complete guide if that is something you are looking for.

Watch NFL Sunday Night Football on FireStick in the US

Let’s start the list with one of the affordable options out there – NBC’s Peacock streaming service.

1. Peacock

3. YouTube TV

Instead of striking deals with NFL directly, YouTube TV relies on partnerships with existing media giants to stream Sunday Night Football matches. It has support for NBC Sports, and with a $10.99-per-month Sports Plus add-on, fans can also stream the NFL RedZone channel.

Live TV channels: 100+ channels

Movies and TV shows: Yes, although a slim collection compared to Peacock

Let’s explore the alternate methods to stream Sunday Night Football for free on FireStick.

IPTV Services

With an IPTV service, you get to enjoy thousands of movies/TV shows, live TV channels from different regions, and live sports for a negligible monthly fee.

Not every IPTV provider offers a buffer-free experience, though. Some even vanish after downtime. I have compiled a list of the best IPTV services for FireStick. Glance through them and pick one with sports coverage.

Third-Party Apps and Kodi Addons

Kodi is one of the most popular third-party apps to stream media on FireStick for free. Users can easily install Kodi or any other third-party video streaming app on FireStick and watch Sunday Night Football matches for free without cable.

With Kodi, you need to integrate a relevant Kodi addon to enable sports streaming in the app. I have created a list of the best Kodi addons. You can check them and integrate them with the Kodi app on FireStick.

Sports Streaming Websites

One can also watch Sunday Night Football matches via sports streaming websites on FireStick. But I won’t advise going with that route. First, the whole experience is abysmal through the Amazon Silk browser. Besides, these websites are riddled with ads and sketchy trackers.

Simply stick with official apps or IPTV services/Kodi addons for a native experience.

Wrapping Up

NFL Sunday Night Football matches continue to drive record numbers of viewers in the US. Go through the recommendations above and start cheering up for your favorite team in the NFL league.
