Want to watch every NFL International Series game live on your TV? You still can't. Even with NFL Plus Premium, live local and primetime games are stuck on mobile devices. The league's streaming service gives fans more ways to watch, but broadcast contracts still set the rules.

Here's what you get with NFL Plus. Subscribers can stream live local and primetime regular season and postseason games, but only on phones and tablets. The package also includes live audio for every game, nonstop NFL Network access in the U.S., and on-demand shows and highlights. Premium takes it further. NFL Plus Premium adds full and condensed game replays, the All-22 Coaches Film, and access to NFL Pro and NFL RedZone from NFL Network.

NFL Plus Premium subscribers can access full-game and condensed replays, as well as Coaches Film and RedZone, on a wide range of devices beyond just mobile phones and tablets.

What NFL Plus Premium actually delivers

Premium subscribers can watch full and condensed replays of every game on supported devices. That includes smart TVs, game consoles, and streaming players. You can replay every snap, break down plays with the All-22 Coaches Film, or catch up in under 45 minutes with condensed replays. NFL RedZone and NFL Pro are bundled in. This gives fans more than just the live broadcast.

But live games are still limited. Broadcast deals keep live local and primetime games on mobile only. Want to watch live on your TV? You can't. Only replays are available after the game ends. According to the latest club guidelines, even NFL Plus Premium subscribers face this rule. The league's contracts haven't changed.

Pricing, upgrades, and availability

NFL Plus costs $6.99 per month or $49.99 per season. NFL Plus Premium is $14.99 per month or $99.99 per season. Upgrading is simple. Users can switch to Premium anytime and pay a prorated fee for the rest of their billing period. NFL RedZone and NFL Pro come with Premium, but you can also get them separately from some providers.

NFL Plus Premium also provides access to full-game and condensed replays, NFL RedZone, and All-22 Coaches Film on multiple device types, while live local and primetime games remain mobile-only due to broadcast rights.

NFL.com

International fans hit a wall. NFL Plus and NFL Plus Premium are only for U.S. users, not U.S. territories. Fans outside the U.S. need DAZN for streaming. You can manage your subscription at NFL.com/plus or in the NFL app.

For fans who want flexible NFL streaming, NFL Plus Premium packs in replays and exclusive content. But you still can't watch live games on your TV. Until the league changes its broadcast deals, live local and primetime games stay mobile-only on NFL Plus. For now, the service works best for fans who want on-demand access and deep analysis, not live big-screen action.
