Thirteen of the 17 New York Giants games this season are on FOX, CBS, or NBC — eight on FOX alone. Only three sit behind paid streaming: two Monday night games on ESPN and a Thursday nighter on Prime Video. If you’re watching from outside the New York area, you’ll also need NFL Sunday Ticket.
Every scheduled New York Giants regular season game in 2026 airs on FOX, CBS, NBC, ESPN, or Prime Video — eight games on FOX, four on CBS, and one on NBC. The three premium games are Week 2 at the Los Angeles Rams and Week 16 at Detroit on ESPN, and Week 10 against Washington on Prime Video. Week 18 is a flex game with no network assigned yet.
The season opener is the big one: Dallas at MetLife on Sunday Night Football in Week 1, nationally televised on NBC.

The Giants play three “premium” games this season, two on ESPN and one on Prime Video. Subscribing to both platforms can cost you $179.92 for the season, or only $74.97 if you subscribe and cancel around each game. Every other scheduled Giants game is on FOX, CBS, or NBC.
The Week 2 game at the Los Angeles Rams is also simulcast for free on ABC.
| Where you’re watching | What you need |
| In the New York market, with cable or live TV already | Prime Video for Week 10. Your existing service already carries FOX, CBS, NBC, and ESPN |
| In the New York market, starting from scratch | A live TV streaming service carrying local FOX, CBS, and NBC (Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or DIRECTV Stream), which also includes ESPN, plus Prime Video |
| Outside the New York market | NFL Sunday Ticket via YouTube TV, which includes ESPN, plus Prime Video |
Sunday afternoon games are assigned by region, so FOX and CBS show different matchups depending on where you live. Since eight Giants games are FOX Sunday afternoon broadcasts, out-of-market fans are the most likely to get a different game on their local channel — which is why Sunday Ticket matters here.
Here’s what each premium platform costs and which teams it carries.
Premium games are the ones whose broadcast rights have been bought by streaming platforms: Monday and Thursday night matchups, international games, and holiday matchups.
| Platform | Monthly | Full season | Teams with games on it |
| ESPN Unlimited | $31.99 | $127.96 | All except the Cardinals, Browns, Colts, Raiders, Dolphins, Jets, and Titans |
| Prime Video | $14.99 | $59.96 | All except the Cardinals, Raiders, Dolphins, Jets, Titans, and Saints |
| NFL Network / NFL+ | $6.99 | $27.96 | Falcons, Bengals, Texans, Colts, Jaguars, Saints, Eagles, Steelers, Commanders |
| Netflix | $8.99 | $35.96 | Bills, Bears, Broncos, Packers, Rams, 49ers |
| NFL Sunday Ticket + YouTube TV | — | $609.95 new $792.95 returning |
Any team, for out-of-market viewers |
Full-season figures cover the four months of the regular season. Ten of the 17 Monday Night Games are also simulcast free on ABC, so an ESPN subscription isn't always necessary. Check your team's schedule above, and learn more in our NFL cost guide.
The NFL makes it challenging to watch your favorite team if you don't live close to its home market. If you're a New York Giants fan outside the New York and New Jersey area, here are two ways to watch out-of-market games:
NFL Sunday Ticket lets fans watch out-of-market games that aren’t broadcast on their local channels. This service is perfect for fans living outside the local area.
This option is sold through YouTube and YouTube TV, and new users have two pricing options:
A virtual private network (VPN) masks your IP address by routing your connection through a server in another location. This can help with geographic restrictions, although it doesn't guarantee access to blacked-out NFL games.
Surfshark is a strong option for NFL fans, with 600+ U.S. servers across 24 cities in 19 states. It also supports unlimited simultaneous device connections, so you can use it across your phones, computers, and compatible smart TVs without juggling subscriptions.
Surfshark also offers GPS spoofing on Android, a feature most competing VPNs lack. This helps match your device's GPS location to your VPN server, which can be useful for streaming services that check both. See our guide on how to change your YouTube TV location for step-by-step instructions.
Budget-friendly VPN that lets you connect unlimited devices at once, which most VPNs cap at 10 or fewer
4,500+ servers across 100 countries with proven fast speeds, even on distant connections
Includes a built-in ad and tracker blocker, so you get cleaner browsing without a separate tool

YouTube TV is by-far the most comprehensive option for streaming NFL games live. You’ll get access to all local channels, plus the option to add on NFL Sunday Ticket for an additional fee, which will even grant access to out-of-market games.
Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most expensive options.
| Cost | What it includes | |
| YouTube TV | $67.99/mo for first three months, $82.99/mo after | NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, ESPN, NFL Network |
| YouTube TV + NFL Sunday Ticket | $82.99 per month (after promo period for new users) | NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, ESPN, NFL Network, out-of-market Sunday games |
Hulu + Live TV is another excellent choice for streaming NFL games, providing access to top national and local sports networks like ABC, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, FOX, FS1, TNT, and the NFL Network.
| Cost | What it includes | |
| Hulu + Live TV (Ads) | $89.99/mo | NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, ESPN, NFL Network |
| Hulu + Live TV (No ads) | $99.99/mo | NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, ESPN, NFL Network |
Fubo is another comprehensive service that will give you access to ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, NFL Network, and many more. This can guarantee you can watch all the in-market and nationally televised NFL games.
| Cost | What it includes | |
| Pro | $63.99/mo for first month, $88.99/mo after | NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, ESPN, NFL Network |
| Elite | $78.99/mo for first month, $108.99/mo after | NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, ESPN, NFL Network (4K) |
| Deluxe | $109.99/mo | NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, ESPN, NFL Network (4K + Paramount) |
DIRECTV Streaming also offers access to all the major networks that broadcast NFL games. With its basic package starting around $59.99/mo for first month, $89.99/mo after, you'll have access to networks such as ABC, NBC, and ESPN.
If you want to catch games on the NFL Network, you’ll need to go with the Choice plan or higher.
| Cost | What it includes | |
| Entertainment | $59.99/mo for first month, $89.99/mo after | NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, ESPN |
| Choice | $64.99/mo for first month, $94.99/mo after | NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, ESPN, NFL Network |

If you’re in the New York market, most of the season costs you nothing beyond the TV service you already have: 13 of the 16 scheduled games are on FOX, CBS, or NBC, including the Sunday night opener against Dallas. The three exceptions are Weeks 2 and 16 on ESPN and Week 10 on Prime Video.
Outside the New York area, your local FOX affiliate will be carrying other teams most Sundays, so NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube TV is the only way to get every game.
Week 18 against Philadelphia is a flex game with no date or network assigned yet, and the NFL can move games into prime time late in the season, so it’s worth checking back.
To watch the New York Giants games while you're abroad, you can access international streaming services like DAZN’s NFL Game Pass International, which offers live broadcasts of all NFL games.
Another option is to use a U.S.-based streaming service, such as YouTube TV or Fubo, with a VPN to bypass geographic restrictions.
Even without NFL Sunday Ticket, you can still catch many Giants games through major networks like CBS, FOX, NBC, and ESPN. You can also try using a VPN to stream NFL games for free on select sites.
You can stream NFL games without cable. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, and DIRECTV Stream all carry local FOX, CBS, and NBC, which covers 13 of the Giants’ 16 scheduled games this season.
Sling TV is the cheapest option and carries FOX, NBC, and ESPN, but it no longer offers CBS — so it would miss the four Giants games on CBS.
