Last week saw three NFL teams on the losing end for the first time this season, leaving just the Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings with a perfect record. This week, both face cross-conference play with a 2-2 team, putting the odds in their favor for keeping those streaks going.
Records aren’t everything, though. The Washington Commanders might be 3-1, but rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels might be the league’s most exciting player this year. And the Denver Broncos might be just 2-2, but there are already whispers this could be the team’s year for a playoff berth, given the team’s back-to-back upsets on the road.
Planning a weekend full of football enjoyment? There’s more than one way to do so—and note that you’ll need to wake up early, as the first game is at 9:30 a.m. Here’s all you need to know about this week’s games.
Which NFL teams are playing this week? And what channels are airing the games?
The Jets and the Vikings will kick off in London Sunday morning, meaning fans will need to skip church and wake up early (especially on the West Coast) to catch the action. As always, the home team is listed second.

How can I watch NFL games for free—even if I am out of market?
The best way to watch any sort of network programming for free on a big screen is with a good HD antenna. To ensure you’re getting the most reliable signal, be sure to test the antenna in multiple locations in your home.
Can I stream 2024 NFL games live online if I don’t have a cable subscription?
There are several ways to do so.
Paramount+
CBS’s streaming service will give you a one-week free trial, followed by a monthly charge of $8 or $13. (An annual plan is as low as $30 right now.)
Peacock
NBC’s streaming service will give you access to several games, including all upcoming Sunday night matchups. It carries a $8 or $14 monthly charge—and the service has recently done away with its free trial. (The free version of Peacock does not include live sports.)
Disney+
Disney’s bundle of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ no longer has a free trial, so you’ll have to pay $17 per month for all three combined (or $30 per month for no ads on Hulu).
Including Live TV in the bundle bumps the price to $77 per month ($90 with no ads).
Hulu with Live TV
The free trial on this service lasts three days. Afterward, it will cost you $77 per month.
YouTubeTV
After a free trial, you can expect monthly charges of $73.
Sling TV
Dish Network’s Sling lower-tiered “Orange” plan will run you $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan bumps the cost to $55 per month. The seven-day free trial has disappeared, unfortunately.
DirecTV Stream
Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow and AT&T TV, this oft-renamed streaming service will run you $80 per month and up after the free trial option. (The package that includes NFL Network will run you $99 per month.)
Fubo TV
This sports-focused cord-cutting service carries broadcast networks in most markets. There’s a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly charges of $80 and up, depending on the channels you choose.
Can I watch NFL games on Amazon?
Yes, but not on Sunday. Amazon is the home of Thursday Night Football, with the exception of Thanksgiving (though it will air a game on Black Friday). The first matchup on Amazon this year will be the San Francisco 49ers facing the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 10.
Does the NFL offer any viewing packages to watch the games I want?
Yep. Three of ‘em.
NFL App
The NFL App will let you stream games that are being broadcast locally in your market on Sundays. If you want to watch an “out of market” game, you’ve got two choices.
NFL+
Watch live local and out of market games and (with the premium subscription) replays. You’re looking at a $50 charge per season. ($100 for premium.)
NFL Sunday Ticket
YouTube once again is the home for this channel. Prices this year start at $73 per month for Sunday Ticket and YouTubeTV or $449 for just Sunday Ticket (spanning the entirety of out-of-market games this season).
