To watch out-of-market NFL games in 2025, you have several options:
- Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network):
- Subscribe to a reliable VPN service like NordVPN.
- Install the VPN app on your device.
- Connect to a VPN server located in a U.S. state where the game is not blacked out.
- Access your preferred streaming service or TV broadcast, which will then allow you to watch the game as if you were located in that state.
- This method bypasses regional blackouts and geo-restrictions by changing your IP address to appear as if you are in a different location.
- NFL Sunday Ticket via YouTube TV:
- NFL Sunday Ticket provides most Sunday afternoon games out-of-market.
- It is available exclusively through YouTube TV.
- Note that YouTube TV is geo-restricted to the U.S., so if you are abroad, you would still need a VPN to access it.
- NFL Sunday Ticket costs around $449/year or $112.25/month in installments.
- NFL Game Pass International and Streaming Services:
- International fans can use NFL Game Pass through DAZN or Amazon Prime to watch all live, primetime, and postseason games without blackout restrictions.
- Some services like FuboTV also offer out-of-market games but may require a VPN to handle geographic restrictions.
Important Notes:
- NFL+ Premium no longer allows live streaming of out-of-market games for all users; it now provides live audio and replays.
- Using a VPN to watch out-of-market games is legal but may violate streaming service terms.
- VPNs like NordVPN are recommended for their reliability and speed.
- Watching all games may require combining multiple subscriptions and/or VPN services.
In summary, the most practical way to watch out-of-market NFL games is to use a high-quality VPN combined with subscriptions to services like YouTube TV (for NFL Sunday Ticket) or international streaming services, depending on your location and preferences.
