Sunday Night Football will air every Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and will also stream on NBC’s streaming service Peacock, so there are plenty of ways to watch. This article will cover all the ways you can watch Sunday Night Football, including a few free ones. I’ll also include the weekly Sunday Night Football schedule at the end of the article.

You can watch Sunday Night Football on NBC right now with a 5-day free trial to DIRECTV STREAM, a 7-day free trial to FuboTV, or a free trial to YouTube TV. You can also watch NBC by signing up for Hulu Live TV. All work on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, iOS, Android, and more. There is no long-term commitment, so you won’t be charged for your first month if you cancel before the free trial expires. Read on for more details or check our guide on how to watch NBC to watch other content on NBC.
