Paramount+ and Peacock aren’t the only ways to watch Sunday football. You might also want to consider options like DirecTV, which will offer access to all the Sunday football games: “NFL on Fox”, “Sunday Night Football” on NBC and more.
DirecTV Stream isn’t cheap, but it streams all the networks you’ll need for the 2022 NFL season. DirecTV Stream’s least-expensive tier, called “Entertainment,” offers Fox, CBS, NBC and ESPN for $70 a month. But get this: Subscribers to the $90 per month “Choice” tier (and above) get Fox, CBS, NBC and ESPN, plus regional sports networks and no-extra-cost access to 2022 NFL Sunday Ticket Max, a plan that streams every live out-of-market Sunday game (and usually runs $395).
Right now, DirectTV Stream is offering new users $10 off their first five months. See the site for full details.

FuboTV is a sports-centric streaming service that offers access to almost every NFL game of the season. Packages include CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN, NFL Network, NFL RedZone and more.
Fox, so you know, offers Sunday NFC games via “NFL on Fox”; while ESPN is the home of “Monday Night Football.” ABC airs some “MNF” games, too.
In addition to NFL football, FuboTV offers MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS and international soccer games.

A Paramount+ subscription includes live access to “NFL on CBS.” That’s the CBS slate of live, AFC Sunday games. The streamer also offers NFL fans the weekly studio show, “Inside the NFL,” and the pregame show “The NFL Today,” plus access to CBS Sports HQ, a 24/7 stream of unfiltered sports news, scores, highlights and analysis.
Paramount+ has two subscriber tiers available — the $5 per month “Essential Plan,” a budget-minded tier with ads, and the $10 per month “Premium Plan,” which costs more but is ad-free. Paramount+ also offers a one-week free-trial period, so if you were thinking of trying the platform, you can catch a Sunday of football on CBS risk-free.

Subscribers to the Walmart+ shopping service now get Paramount+ included in their subscription at no extra cost.
Walmart+ members now get free access to the ad-supported Paramount+ Essential plan. Paramount+ Essential includes tens of thousands of movies and TV episodes, including “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” “Yellowstone” spin-off “1883,” “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” “NCIS” and “Survivor.” Perhaps most importantly, Essential plan members get access to NFL on CBS live.
Walmart+ and Paramount+ bundle: $12.95 per month or $98 per year
CBS Essentials and Paramount+ are both subsidiaries of Paramount.
“Sunday Night Football” will air weekly on NBC, and simultaneously stream live on Peacock. (You can also stream NBC via a live-TV streaming app, à la DirecTV Stream.)
An important streaming heads-up: While Peacock offers plenty of ad-supported shows and movies for free, if you want access to Peacock’s premium content, including “Sunday Night Football,” you need a paid subscription.
Peacock Premium subscription: $4.99 per month
NFL+ lets you stream games exclusively on your mobile device or tablet. Starting at $5 per month or $30 annually, an NFL+ subscription gives you mobile or tablet access to live out-of-market preseason games, live local and primetime regular season and postseason games, live game audio for every game and more.
