Whether you want to watch out-of-market NFL games or are trying to keep tabs on your favorite fantasy stars, the Amazon Fire TV Stick (AKA Firestick) has some great options out there for catching every NFL game.
Here are some of the best ways we’ve found for streaming NFL on your Firestick both officially and unofficially.
Best Official Ways to Watch NFL on Fire TV
Thursday Night Football with Amazon Prime
Even with its decline in ratings lately, the NFL’s popularity still dwarfs every other professional sports league in the United States. This fact is what made it so important for Amazon to break off a piece of the action, and in 2017 paid big money for rights to stream Thursday Night Football to its Amazon Prime members.
How It Works
As long as there is a Thursday Night Football game on, Amazon Prime members should see the game featured on their home screen. While this is likely, it’s always possible that you might not see it. In this case, you can use the Fire TV search console. Alternatively, if you have Alexa you can summon the game by saying something like “Alexa, watch Thursday Night Football on Fire TV”.
While Thursday Night Football on is a welcome perk for Prime members, it still leaves Non-Prime Members out in the cold. It also begs the question of where are we supposed to catch all the Sunday and Monday NFL game action?
NFL Sunday Ticket App
A good option for those with deeper pockets is the NFL Sunday Ticket app for Firestick.
How It Works
- First, you would need to sign up for an NFL Sunday Ticket package with Direct TV
- Then, using the Amazon App store on your Fire Stick or Fire TV, Download the free NFL Sunday Ticket app
- When prompted, enter your Direct TV credentials into the app
- You should be redirected to NFL Sunday Ticket menu, which will allow you to watch any NFL game regardless of where you live. It also allows you to watch NFL Rewind which lets you watch cut down versions of NFL games after they have aired.
Gears TV
While it does run between $15-20 monthly, Gear TV has been worth every penny for sports lovers.
You get access to over 500+ live streaming channels with over 100 of them dedicated to live sports.
It can be installed on any device including phones, tablets, as well as Windows and Mac computers. The streams are fast, with minimal lag time, and most popular sports channels are available in true 1080p HD, as well as lower quality streams for slower devices and internet connections.
Not only do you get all the NFL games, you will also have access to a huge variety of other programming as well. With this one app, you can truly cut the live TV cord.
How Watch NFL for Free On Firestick
The truly free options on our list are ad-supported streaming apps. In our experience, the ads didn’t distract all that much from the live streaming experience.
Because they don’t offer the true NFL Sunday Ticket experience the way Gear TV or the NFL Sunday Ticket app do, you may have to do some sleuthing as to where to find the best streams of your favorite NFL teams.
With our last three choices, we found that we could access most games via the Sky Sports channels out of the UK. The games are the same as what is aired in the US except that there are much fewer commercials. Other excellent free choices include Sports Devil, NetStreams SportsHub
1. Gears TV *EDITORS CHOICE*
While not technically free, Gears TV is an app with 500+ live TV channels. It includes league passes for live streaming every NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB games as well as all PPV events for only $15 a month.
In our experience, Gears TV was the app that felt the most like a real replacement for cable. It collects all of the popular channels and major sports in one place and provides reliable, high-quality streams for a fraction of the price. Reliable streaming in an easy to use app has quickly made Gears TV the number one choice for Sports Fans with Fire TVs.

2. Mobdro
No jailbroken Firestick is complete without Mobdro, a free ad-supported IPTV app that allows you to freely stream most channels you would expect to find in a premium cable package. While it doesn’t have a true way to watch NFL Sunday ticket, you will be able to find each game as long as you know where to search for it. We recommend the Sky Sports streams of the games as they have much fewer commercials than the American versions.
3. Swift Streamz
Swift Streamz is a free IPTV app for Fire Stick, Fire TV, and Android device that boasts up to 700 channels from around the world. Again, we recommend watching the games on Sky Sports network.
4. LiveNet TV
LiveNet TV is a free TV app with 150+ live TV channels in 7 categories. It is easy to stream your favorite channel for free on Live NetTV APK.
