How Can I Watch NFL for Free on Firestick?

While a good chunk of NFL content is locked behind premium subscriptions and cable plans, there are some ways to watch NFL for free on your Fire Stick.

The Twitch streaming service, which has an official Fire Stick app, has offered a couple of authorized NFL broadcast options, both on the Twitch Sports and official NFL channels, over the years. Content ranges from live broadcasts of NFL matches to post and pre-match discussion panels and even exclusive shows like Move the Sticks.

Another free option is Tubi which offers ad-supported live streams of NFL, Fox Sports, and other sports channels via its Fire TV app. You won’t find much in the way of NFL on-demand and replay features with Tubi, but if you want to watch NFL games as they happen, it’s an excellent free option.

Once the game starts at its scheduled time, it should appear on your Fire Stick’s main screen, ready to view.

Open the NFL app on your Fire Stick and log in with your cable provider or Game Pass account. To try RedZone for free, sign up for a trial through other services on your Fire Stick, such as fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, and YouTube TV. Find details on the NFL RedZone information page.
