Context & Impact
This release follows the NFL’s broader push to expand online availability of games during the 2025 season, making more matchups reachable without a traditional cable subscription. Free streams for select international games lower the access barrier for global fans and can increase viewership for teams and league content partners.
The move may further accelerate cord-cutting trends as casual viewers can watch marquee games without subscribing to a cable package. Local broadcasters and rights partners may still carry the game in some markets, so availability on linear TV can vary by region.
