TV Answer Man, I was told there was an NFL Channel that is free on the free streaming services. Do you know anything about it? Is it the NFL Network? – Henry, Duluth, Minnesota.

Henry, the NFL Channel is a free streaming service that’s available at the NFL web site, the league’s mobile app and other streaming sites such as Pluto , LG Channels, Roku, Xumo, Tubi, and Peacock, among others.

What Shows Are On the NFL Channel?

The channel, which is different from the NFL Network (available as part of a pay TV service), offers a continuous feed of notable games from the past as well as news and information programs. While it doesn’t have the NFL Network’s shows, it does have in-studio programs featuring players and analysts discussing the upcoming week’s games. You could watch the NFL Channel for a few hours and not really know it’s all that different from the NFL Network.

How the NFL Channel Is Different From the NFL Network

One major difference, however: There are no live NFL games on the NFL Channel. However, the NFL Channel does feature live game day coverage that provides fans with real-time updates of NFL game action including scores, Next Gen Stats, highlights, and more.

If you’re a football fan, I would highly recommend checking out the NFL Channel. What can you lose? It’s free!

Henry, hope that helps. Happy viewing and stay safe!
