Watch NFL Playoffs 2024/25 live streams, with six of 14 teams set to be eliminated in the opening Wild Card Round this weekend. Below we have all the info on how to watch NFL Playoffs from anywhere, with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, and free streams.
As the only player with multiple MVP awards to never reach the Super Bowl, there’s a huge amount of intrigue surrounding Lamar Jackson, whose Ravens are up against the Steelers. Sam Darnold will make his first ever Playoff start in what could be the game of the week, the Vikings vs Rams, while we’re all waiting for Mike Evans vs Marshon Lattimore to blow up in the Commanders vs Buccaneers game.
As top seeds, the Chiefs and Lions have a bye to the Divisional Round, and both teams have plenty of thinking to do in their downtime. The Chiefs are back-to-back reigning champions, but their unprecedented streak of 16 consecutive one-score victories suggests that something is broken. The Lions’ defense, meanwhile, has been brought to its knees by injuries.Â

How to watch 2024/25 NFL Playoffs live streams in the US
The 2024/25 NFL Playoffs games are split across multiple channels in the US, but you don’t need to subscribe to all of them in order to watch the vast majority of the action.
OTT service Sling TV would be our top recommendation.
The Sling Orange + Blue plan gets you ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3 in all major markets, plus FOX and NBC in select markets. Between them, these channels are showing seven of the 12 NFL Playoff games, plus the Super Bowl.Â
The usual cost is $65.99 a month, but if you’re new to the service you can get a discount on your first month.
The only relevant services missing from Sling’s lineup are CBS, which is showing four games, and Prime Video, which is showing one.
A costlier but even more thorough alternative is Fubo, which includes CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN, ESPN 2, ABC and NFL Network – all the TV channels you need to tune into the NFL Playoffs.
Prices start at $79.99 a month but new users get a 7-day FREE trial.
Every game that’s being shown on CBS will also be available to live stream via Paramount Plus, which starts at $7.99 per month after a 7-day FREE trial.
