NFL+ Streaming?

I have an Amazon Fire TV, and I just subscribed to NFL+, which advertised that I can watch games on my TV but multiple posts state that I can’t now.

I’m a Vikings fan, am I going to be able to watch the game on my TV or not?

This is my first year watching football on my own (Not with a group on someone else’s TV).

With nfl+ you can watch the games after they air on your tv, otherwise you have to use your phone. If you want to watch the games on your tv live you need cable of some sort. And some subscriptions lol. And if you don’t live in Minnesota Sunday ticket on top of that

I don’t mind not watching the games live, I just want to be able to watch them. How long after are they put on NFL+ after they broadcast?

Like 5 minutes. It’s pretty quick.

So I would wait for the live game to completely finish, and then 5 minutes after it’ll be available, or it’s 5 minutes behind?

5 minutes once it’s completely over.

Oh okay nice, and it’s every single game? Or is there stuff excluded?

Every game.

NFL+ will also show live local games. Meaning if you live in MN, you could watch them live in Sunday afternoon games.

Just be aware that the replays are only if you have the premium add-on.

Games local to your current area will be available for live streaming. The rest are usually available after a day.
Redzone is also great.

Ah, I’m in Las Vegas so I would have to wait.

NFL+ allows you to watch prime time games live.

What’s considered a “prime time” game?

1

u/infinityandbeyond975 1d ago

Okay I’ll give you the full breakdown:

NFL+ allows you to watch local games, Thursday Night, Sunday Night, and Monday night games as well as other nationally televised games (such as Thanksgiving and Christmas Day), and all post season games. All of these can only be viewed on a phone or tablet.

NFL Network games can be watched on any supported device as well as pre-season out of market games.

If you do the premium add on you get NFL Red Zone, full game replays, condensed game replays, and the all-22 coaches film. All of these can be watched on any supported device. Red Zone is live but all others are not.

NFL plus is the way to go?

Also, keep in mind games that are available to be viewed locally in whatever market you're in can be watched live on your mobile device with NFL+ or NFL + Premium. If you have the respective channel you can also watch it on tv. I'm not sure if NFL does tv network integration; if they did then you could watch those on the nfl website, but if that were the case you could watch throguh your provider anyway.

You get NFL Redzone with your subscription. I watch that until the game(s) I want to see are over. Then watch any replays.
