One of three weekly primetime games along with Thursday Night Football and Monday Night Football, Sunday Night Football is set to feature many of the league's best teams and exciting matchups. NBC will also host a few special non-Sunday night broadcasts throughout the year that will be handled by the Sunday Night Football team.
Here is everything you need to know about how to watch Sunday Night Football to get yourself ready for a full season of action.
How to watch Sunday Night Football in the US
NBC is widely available to viewers across the US via their local NBC stations. If you subscribe to traditional cable, catching the game is simple, as NBC is included on all basic cable packages. You can also watch the games on the NBC Sports app or at NBCSports.com when you provide your TV provider login.
NBC is also available on live TV streaming services like Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. Each of these offers a mix of channel packages and services. We think Sling TV offers the best value for Sunday Night Football fans. You can watch Sunday Night Football on Sling TV Blue, which goes for $40 per month.
Streaming of the game is also available through Peacock, which live-streams NBC's Sunday Night Football game every week.
As a nationally televised game, Sunday Night Football is also going to be available to live stream on NFL Plus, but only through a mobile device.
How to watch Sunday Night Football in the UK
NFL fans in the UK have the opportunity to watch Sunday Night Football games and other NBC NFL broadcasts via Sky Sports' NFL Channel, which is available through a Sky TV subscription.
If that's too late (or early) for you, NFL Game Pass is an option. The international version of this subscription service offers live broadcasts of games as well as the opportunity to watch the full broadcast on-demand or a condensed version of the broadcast that only features the plays.
