The NFL remains one of the most popular professional sports leagues in the United States — and the world — thanks in large part to NFL RedZone. Chris Hanson’s Sunday afternoon show, which boasts “seven hours of commercial-free football” and shows every touchdown each week, has become the king of the football viewing experience.

RedZone works for a couple of reasons. First, it removes the annoying ads that plague most single-game broadcasts. When a game goes to commercials, RedZone cuts out that game and takes the audience to the next best match action. It’s non-stop football, without the tiresome interruptions.

This also makes it easier for fantasy football fans to follow their players, as they witness all the biggest plays and 100 percent of the touchdowns without any commercial breaks.

The best part: NFL fans don’t need cable to access RedZone. Thanks to the arrival of numerous streaming services offering the channel, cord-cutting revolutionaries can also join in on the seven-hour viewing party every Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

Of course, it can be confusing these days to keep track of what services offer what. For those interested in joining the masses who enjoy NFL RedZone each year, here’s everything you need to know.

NFL RedZone Streams Explained

There are plenty of ways for NFL fans to watch NFL RedZone without cable. The show is broadcast on multiple streaming services, so viewers have options if they want to catch Hanson in action for seven hours of commercial-free football.

Fubo, which comes with a free trial, is among the networks offering consumers NFL Network, while NFL RedZone can be added to the package as part of the Sports Plus add-on. They’re joined by NFL+, Hulu Plus Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.

NFL RedZone free stream

Several streaming services offer a free trial, but Fubo’s is unique compared to the others. Why? Because NFL RedZone is included as part of the free trial, despite being part of a premium package upgrade.

Fubo offers viewers access to all non-Amazon Prime NFL games during the 2023 NFL season. That includes “Sunday Night Football,” “Monday Night Football,” and Sunday afternoon games airing in your local market.

Fubo also has access to NFL Network programming.

What channel is NFL RedZone on?

One of the benefits of streaming is that you don’t have to remember the NFL RedZone channel number. However, cable folks still have to jog their memory about the channel to find the show.

How much does NFL RedZone cost?

The cost of NFL RedZone varies depending on which streaming service you use. The cheapest option is to use NFL+, which includes RedZone as part of its premium package. Streamers only pay $14.99 per month for this, but only have access to NFL Network programming and select national games.
