The NFL has become more than America’s pastime. Every Sunday, millions of fans outside the United States wake up at odd hours, grab their coffee, and fire up a stream to watch their favorite teams. With star players like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Justin Jefferson becoming household names worldwide, the demand for reliable NFL coverage overseas has never been higher.
But here’s the challenge: if you live in London, Berlin, Mumbai, Sydney, or Tokyo, you don’t get access to CBS, FOX, NBC, or ESPN like fans in the U.S. do. Instead, international rights are handled by a mix of services such as NFL Game Pass International, DAZN, and local broadcasters.
So how do you actually watch every NFL game live, including Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, Thanksgiving, and Christmas matchups? Let’s break it down step by step.
Why International NFL Access Is Different
The NFL sells its TV and streaming rights by region. This means:
- U.S. fans get games through CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, and Amazon Prime.
- Fans outside the U.S. must rely on different platforms, which vary depending on the country.
- Some countries (like Canada and Germany) have exclusive deals with DAZN.
- Others can still use the NFL’s own Game Pass International service.
In short: your viewing options depend heavily on where you live.
Option 1: NFL Game Pass International
If your country isn’t covered by DAZN or a local exclusive partner, then NFL Game Pass International is the official way to watch every game.
What You Get
- All regular season and playoff games live.
- Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, and Thursday Night Football included.
- Access to NFL RedZone, which gives live look-ins of every touchdown across Sunday’s early and late games.
- 24/7 coverage from the NFL Network.
- On-demand full-game replays and 40-minute condensed versions for quick viewing.
Where It Works
Game Pass International is available in most countries outside of the U.S., except where DAZN holds exclusive rights.
How to Watch
- Download the NFL Game Pass app on iOS or Android.
- Stream directly on your smart TV, Fire Stick, Roku, or Apple TV.
- Watch on a desktop through nflgamepass.
For fans in regions without DAZN, this is the most complete option.
Option 2: DAZN NFL Package
In select markets, the NFL has partnered with DAZN, a global sports streaming giant.
Countries Where DAZN Carries NFL Rights
- Canada
- United Kingdom & Ireland
- Germany, Austria, Switzerland
- Italy, Spain, Portugal
- Japan
- Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of Europe
What You Get with DAZN
- Every NFL game, from kickoff in Week 1 to the Super Bowl.
- NFL RedZone for touchdown highlights.

Device Access
DAZN runs on smartphones, smart TVs, desktop browsers, PlayStation, Xbox, Roku, and Fire Stick.
If you live in a DAZN NFL country, you won’t have a separate Game Pass option — DAZN becomes your official NFL streaming home.
Regional TV Partners Around the World
While DAZN and Game Pass cover most fans, certain regions have local broadcasters too:
- UK & Ireland → Sky Sports NFL (TV) alongside DAZN (streaming).
- Mexico & Latin America → ESPN and Star+.
- Australia → ESPN through Foxtel and Kayo Sports.
- Middle East & North Africa → beIN Sports.
- India → FanCode streams select games.

These broadcasters usually air primetime games or featured matchups, but they may not show every single contest.
Do You Get Sunday, Monday, and Thursday Games Abroad?
Yes. If you subscribe to Game Pass International or DAZN, you’ll have full access to the U.S. primetime schedule.
- Sunday Night Football (NBC in the U.S.) → Available worldwide.
- Monday Night Football (ESPN/ABC in the U.S.) → Included internationally.
- Thursday Night Football (Amazon Prime in the U.S.) → Streamed live outside the U.S. via Game Pass and DAZN.
- Thanksgiving and Christmas Day games → All available globally on both platforms.
No matter where you live, you won’t miss the league’s biggest showcase games.
