Your App Arsenal: Choosing Your Weapon
There's more to the app store than Angry Birds, folks. The NFL offers a three-pronged attack for your phone's entertainment:
-
The Official NFL App: This is your one-stop shop for news, highlights, and the ever-important NFL+. Think of NFL+ as your portal to the pigskin promised land. (Side note: Yes, they really call it pigskin. Don't ask me why.)
-
NFL Fantasy (Because who doesn't love a little friendly competition while watching grown men chase an inflated pig-shaped...thing?)
-
NFL Network App: This bad boy unlocks the holy grail: NFL RedZone. Basically, it's like channel surfing on steroids, taking you to all the touchdowns and big plays happening around the league. No more missing that epic Hail Mary because you were refilling your chips!
Pro Tip: Download all three apps. They're like the complimentary seasonings to your NFL viewing experience.
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
The Subscription Situation: Free vs. Fee
Let's talk turkey (or should we say, turkey leg?):
-
The Free Agent: The official app offers some free content, like highlights and news. But for live games, you'll need to pony up.
-
Theballer on a Budget: NFL+ offers a free tier with out-of-market preseason games. Intriguing, right? But for regular season and primetime games, you'll need to subscribe to NFL+ Premium.
-
The High Roller: Cable or satellite TV subscriptions often include access to NFL Network and RedZone. Check with your provider to see if you can access the NFL Network app with your login.
Remember: There's no shame in the free game, but if you want the full NFL experience on your phone, a subscription might be your best bet.
How to Actually Watch the Game: It's Not Rocket Surgery (But Maybe Close to Fantasy Football)
- Step 1: Download the apps (we covered that).
- Step 2: Open the NFL app and find the game you want to watch.
- Step 3: If it's a free game (preseason, woohoo!), hit play and enjoy!
- Step 4: If it's not free, the app will prompt you to subscribe to NFL+ Premium or log in with your cable/satellite credentials.
For NFL Network and RedZone: Follow the same steps, but through the respective apps.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.

Bonus Tip: Invest in a phone stand. Nobody wants to hold their phone at arm's length for an entire game (your arms will thank you).
