How to watch every NFL game on Thanksgiving Day: Schedule, TV channels, and more

Posted on by

This Thursday is serving up heaps of turkey, potatoes, and professional football. The NFL has three games on the schedule, all conveniently timed so you'll be able to have football on pretty much from midday until bedtime. For the first game of the day, you can catch the AFC North battle between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Dallas Cowboys at 4:30 p.m. ET. For the evening game, the Cincinnati Bengals visit the Baltimore Ravens, kickoff is at 8:20 p.m. ET. (And don't forget about the Black Friday game between the Chicago Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles, too). Each of these games will be broadcast by different providers, so take note of where you can watch below, and prepare to commandeer the remote control for the day.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch this week's Thanksgiving Day games on every channel and platform.

Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you're looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna) or finding a live TV streaming service that carries the correct RSN (Regional Sports Network). If you want to watch out-of-market games, a $7 monthly subscription to NFL+ will let you tune into every out-of-market local and primetime game in the season on your phone — but only a select few regular-season games on your TV. You could also spring for the uber-expensive NFL Sunday Ticket package to get every out-of-market Sunday game of the season. 

When it comes to nationally broadcast games, NFL games typically air across ESPN, NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC and NFL Network. Thursday Night Football games stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, select football games will stream exclusively on Peacock, games on CBS will stream live on Paramount+ and Monday Night Football games will air on ESPN or ABC and stream on the newly revamped ESPN+. That's six channels and four streaming platforms to keep up with this season — and that's not counting your local RSN's for in-market games and an NFL+ or NFL Sunday Ticket subscription for out-of-market games. Plus, Netflix is once again hosting at least two Christmas Day matches, so add that subscription to the mix. And we can't forget about Fox One, Fox's first streaming service, where you can also stream games airing on FOX (if you don't already have access to it). 

Confused? You're not alone. Here's a breakdown of the platforms we recommend checking out ahead of the 2025 NFL season, so that come game time, tuning into your favorite team's games will be as easy as simply turning on the TV.

Tickets for the 2025 NFL season are on sale now.

To recap, here are all the ways you can watch NFL games in 2025.

Every holiday has corresponding must-watch TV associated with it, from It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown at Halloween, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer at Christmas, and the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade airing on the last Thursday in November. 

This year marks the 99th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the festivities begin at 8:30 a.m. ET this Thursday, Nov. 27. The parade will be broadcast on NBC and streams live – with a three-angle multi-view option – on Peacock. Performers will include Wicked's Cynthia Erivo, Lainey Wilson, Ciara, and more. Oh, and if you've got KPop Demon Hunters fans in your life, not only will there be balloons featuring Derpy and Sussie, the parade will feature a performance by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI, the singing voices of HUNTR/X. 

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch the 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade live this week, and how to catch the encore if you miss it.

Missing NBC on Fubo? Here’s how to watch Sunday Night Football this week and more

Posted on by

If you're a Fubo subscriber, you've certainly noticed that NBC and all NBCUniversal-owned channels have gone dark on the platform. For over a week, customers have gone without NBC programming like the Today Show and The Voice, and for the second week in a row, customers will have to find alternate methods of watching this week's Sunday Night Football game, too. It's all because Fubo and NBCUniversal are having a contract dispute, so channels like NBC, USA Network, Telemundo, and Bravo have been unavailable on Fubo since Nov. 21, and as of now, there's no projected date for their return. 

A message released by Fubo to their customers explains, "Fubo believes customers should have the option to choose among multiple distributors to access the content they love. Unfortunately, NBCU has offered terms regarding pricing and packaging that are egregiously above those offered to other distributors." A statement from an NBCU spokesperson adds, "Fubo has chosen to drop NBCUniversal programming despite being offered the same terms agreed to by hundreds of other distributors. Unfortunately, this is par for the course for Fubo — they’ve dropped numerous networks in recent years at the expense of their customers, who continue to lose content.” (Fubo, for instance, cut Warner-owned channels back in 2024.) You can read more about exactly why Fubo is countering NBC's proposed deal here. 

While the companies are continuing discussions to come to an agreement, there is still no resolution. Fubo has already begun issuing $15 credits to subscribers' bills as a gesture of goodwill, but if you're a Fubo customer and are wondering how to watch this week's biggest games and shows, here's everything you need to know about the Fubo-NBC blackout, which channels are missing and your options for where to watch them.

This week's Sunday Night Football matchup between the Houston Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs airs at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, but you'll also be able to stream it on Peacock, DirecTV, and Hulu + Live TV. 

In addition to this week's Sunday Night Football game, there are loads of sports on NBC, USA, Universo and more that you won't want to miss, including extensive Premiere League coverage, NBA and NHL games, plus dozens of new show premieres this week like Stumble and The Voice. On Bravo, there are new episodes of The Real Housewives of Potomac and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, too.

The following is a list of channels owned or operated by NBC that are not currently available on Fubo:

  • NBC Local Affiliates

  • Telemundo Local/National

  • NBC Sports 4K

  • NBC Sports Bay Area

  • NBC Sports Bay Area Plus

  • NBC Sports Boston

  • NBC Sports California

  • NBC Sports California Plus

  • NBC Sports California Plus 3

  • NBC Sports Philadelphia

  • NBC Sports Philadelphia Plus

  • American Crimes

  • Bravo

  • Bravo Vault

  • Caso Cerrado

  • CNBC

  • CNBC World

  • Cozi

  • Dateline 24/7

  • E! Entertainment Television

  • E! Keeping Up

  • Golf Channel

  • GolfPass

  • LX Home

  • Million Dollar Listing Vault

  • MS NOW (formerly MSNBC)

  • NBC NOW

  • NBC Sports NOW

  • NBC Universo

  • True CRMZ

  • New England Cable News

  • Noticias Telemundo Ahora

  • Oxygen True Crime

  • Oxygen True Crime Archives

  • Real Housewives Vault

  • SNL Vault

  • Syfy

  • Telemundo Accion

  • Telemundo al Dia

  • The Golf Channel

  • Today All Day

  • Universal Movies

  • USA Network

Per Fubo, NBC channels were pulled from the platform because of a disagreement over their long-standing content distribution agreement that has yet to be resolved.

There is no information available as to when NBC's lineup of channels will return. Negotiations between the companies are ongoing.

In a message to subscribers, Fubo stated, "If NBCU programming remains off of Fubo for an extended period, we will directly credit $15 to your Fubo account." At least one Fubo customer on our staff received an email confirming the credit would be automatically applied in the December billing cycle.

Looking to switch from Fubo? You've got plenty of options, including Peacock, DirecTV, and Hulu + Live TV. Here are some of your choices:

Try Hulu + Live TV for free

Fubo does not allow customers to pause their subscriptions, so if you're looking to make a change, you can cancel your plan outright.
