The good news is that most of what you need to watch NFL playoff action isn't going to be any different than it was in the regular season. The NFL on CBS and NFL on Fox are still going to carry games, while ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast team and NBC's Sunday Night Football setup are going to feature games. However, there are going to be some firsts for the NFL playoffs this year, including the first-ever streaming-only playoff game.
Read on to get all the info you need to watch the 2024 NFL playoffs, as well as the complete NFL playoff TV schedule.
How to watch NFL playoffs in the US
The NFL playoffs are going to air across multiple networks, as well as being available on a range of streaming services.
However, to make sure you can watch NFL playoff action from Wild Card weekend to Super Bowl LVIII, you absolutely must have access to CBS, which is airing the big game this year. The good news is that anyone with a traditional pay-TV subscription, a TV antenna that can receive local stations or a live TV streaming service that carries CBS (i.e. Fubo, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV) already has access to the broadcast network.
If you have cut the cord on live TV and made the move entirely to streaming, you can still watch the NFL on CBS playoff action live if you subscribe to Paramount Plus. Both the Paramount Plus Essential and Paramount Plus with Showtime plans allow you to watch NFL games on Paramount Plus.
ABC, ESPN, Fox and NBC are other broadcast TV networks that are going to be airing NFL playoff games. Like CBS, ABC, Fox and NBC are available through traditional pay-TV options, TV antennas or live TV streaming services (Fubo, Hulu with live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV). ESPN is a cable channel, so it is not available if you only have a TV antenna, but the sports network is carried by just about all traditional pay-TV providers and the live TV streaming services mentioned above.
Like how Paramount Plus is providing live streams of CBS NFL playoff games, a few other streaming services can help you watch playoff action. ESPN Plus is going to stream the Wild Card weekend game that airs on ABC/ESPN. Meanwhile, Peacock is going to live stream any game that airs on NBC, as well as stream the first-ever NFL playoff game exclusively available on a streaming platform — the Miami Dolphins vs Kansas City Chiefs game on January 13. The NFL also has its own streaming service that will allow subscribers to watch most of the playoff games, NFL Plus.
How to watch NFL Playoffs in the UK
UK fans of the NFL can watch every NFL playoff game on Sky Sports. Of course, you must be a Sky TV subscriber if you want to watch the games.
