Week 12 schedule with channels
How to watch the Thanksgiving Day games without cable
CBS, FOX and NBC are broadcast channels, so an antenna picks up all three Thursday games free. For streaming, Paramount+ carries the CBS game, FOX One carries the FOX game, and Peacock carries the NBC game. One live TV service such as YouTube TV or Fubo covers all three. NFL+ streams every game on phones and tablets.
Thanksgiving Eve and Black Friday
The Wednesday night game is a Netflix exclusive and the Black Friday game is a Prime Video exclusive. Neither airs on a TV channel, so you need those two subscriptions to see all five games.
Outside the US
NFL Game Pass on DAZN streams all five games internationally. In the UK, the Thursday early game kicks off at 6 PM, the FOX game at 9:30 PM and the primetime game at 1:20 AM Friday.
