Of the 272 2026 NFL regular-season games, 215 are on free over-the-air television — CBS, FOX, NBC or ABC — and 20 are behind a streaming subscription with no cable or antenna option at all (Netflix, Prime Video). 24 games have no network assigned in the league feed yet.
Every 2026 NFL regular-season game, sorted by who is carrying it. Two ways to read it: by network, if you are deciding what to subscribe to, or by team, if you only care about one. The 20 games you cannot watch on cable at all are listed separately, because those are the ones that catch people out.
Share is of all 272 regular-season games. A game on two networks is counted under both, so the column totals more than 272.

215 of 272 regular-season games are carried on CBS, FOX, NBC or ABC, all of which are available with an antenna as well as through a live-TV streaming service.
20 games are on Netflix, Prime Video only, with no cable or antenna option. They are listed in full on this page with their dates.
It depends on the mix of networks your team is actually on, which is why this page breaks it down per team rather than giving one answer. A team whose games are mostly CBS and FOX needs an antenna and little else; a team with several Prime Video or Netflix games needs those subscriptions on top.
The public league broadcast feed, read on Sunday, September 27. Nothing on this page is an editorial guess: where a network has not been assigned yet, the page says so rather than predicting one.
Other sports: the full directory covers college football, the NBA and the NHL as well.
