Some weekly events need little to no introduction. The NFL’s flagship broadcast “Sunday Night Football” is one of them. Finish your weekend out the right way by watching the NFL primetime matchup every Sunday night. Make sure you catch heavyweight rivalries like the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers or the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs.
If you’re looking to catch “Sunday Night Football,” you should turn to NBC or Peacock first. If you need a Spanish-language broadcast, tune in to Telemundo or Universo.

If you want to cut back on what you spend on TV but don’t want to miss out on live football, you’ll need to subscribe to Peacock. NBCUniversal’s streaming service simulcasts all of NBC’s Sunday Night Football broadcasts. It’s that simple. It’s like watching traditional TV on streaming.
If you’re interested in working “Sunday Night Football” into a more demanding TV regimen, then DIRECTV STREAM might have the channel list you’re after. You’ll find NBC, Telemundo, and Universo, so you’ll get every network you need for “Sunday Night Football” in both English and Spanish, but that just scratches the surface of what DIRECTV STREAM brings to the table.
Sports fans will find ESPN, Fox Sports 1 (FS1), Fox Sports 2 (FS2), NBA TV, NFL Network, MLB TV and even more. You’ll find news networks like CNN and Fox News alongside local networks like ABC and CBS, and there are a host of premium channels like Max, available to add on as well. Don’t worry about flipping between channels to try and watch two things at once, either – all DIRECTV STREAM plans include cloud DVR with unlimited storage.
Some of the more popular live sporting events are pretty easy to find, and “Sunday Night Football” thankfully falls into that category. All three networks that broadcast “Sunday Night Football” (again: NBC, Telemundo, and Universo) are available via Hulu + Live TV.
With Hulu + Live TV, you’ll get a pretty sizable channel list that includes favorites like ESPN, FS1, MLB Network, CNN, Disney Channel and more. If you’re worried about missing anything, you can just quit now: Hulu + Live TV includes a cloud DVR with unlimited storage. On top of all that, you’ll get access to the complete Hulu streaming library (which includes critically acclaimed originals like “Shogun” and “The Bear”), with access to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus as well.
If you only need “Sunday Night Football” in English, Sling TV might be the right service for you. Sling Blue subscribers can get access to NBC in select service areas (you’ll have to check your ZIP code on the site) but are out of luck when it comes to Universo or Telemundo.
Sling TV prides itself on being among the more “focused” streaming services – you won’t find hundreds of channels here. Instead, with Sling Orange, you’ll find ESPN and a couple more sports networks, while on Sling Blue you’ll find a more news and entertainment-focused crop. Or you can combine them with the Sling Orange & Blue plan.
Instead of unlimited DVR storage, Sling TV plans come standard with 50 hours of storage. Unlike other DVR offerings, Sling TV won’t delete your recordings after nine months, and if you need more storage, you can purchase up to 200 hours for an extra monthly fee.
For the sports fan who needs every sport, every season, Fubo offers an incredible, sports-focused channel line-up. First things first – you get every network that airs “Sunday Night Football:” NBC, Universo, and Telemundo. In addition to those, you’ll find ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, regional networks like NBC Sports Bay Area and Marquee Sports Network, FS1, FS2 and even niche networks like Surfer and Transworld Skateboarding. Note that a fee may be applied for any packages that include regional sports networks. Sure, you’ll find news channels like CNN and ABC News Live next to entertainment options like FX and Disney Channel, but will you even have time to watch them with all those sports to check in on?
Thanks to Fubo’s included DVR, yes, you will. Fubo users get unlimited DVR recording, giving them nine months to watch anything they might have missed the first time around before the recordings are automatically deleted.
Like most of the other streaming platforms on our list, YouTube TV offers every channel you need to catch “Sunday Night Football” – NBC, Telemundo and Universo.

You can stream Sunday Night Football on Peacock or any streaming service that offers NBC, Universo or Telemundo. Luckily, most of the services on our list above offer all of those networks.
“Sunday Night Football” airs on Peacock, but Peacock isn’t free. If you already pay for Peacock, however, you don’t have to pay anything extra for “Sunday Night Football.”
Unfortunately, “Sunday Night Football” isn’t free on YouTube. If you opt for a YouTube TV subscription, though, you can watch “Sunday Night Football” on NBC, Telemundo or Universo.
