NFL Week 9 features 15 games from November 5–9, 2026, with RedZone covering Sunday afternoon action. Here is how to watch without cable, compare streaming costs, and find the games airing separately on NBC, Peacock, ESPN and NFL Network.
NFL Week 9 brings a packed schedule of football games across November 5–9, 2026, with NFL RedZone providing live coverage of Sunday afternoon scoring opportunities and touchdowns. Fans can watch through NFL+ Premium or several live television streaming services, including DIRECTV, Fubo, Sling TV, and YouTube TV.
The schedule includes matchups involving the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, and San Francisco 49ers. The weekend also features a special international game in Madrid, Spain, followed by Sunday Night Football and a Monday night matchup between Buffalo and Minnesota.
NFL RedZone remains a convenient option for viewers who want to follow several games without constantly changing channels. However, RedZone covers Sunday afternoon games only, meaning viewers need separate access to watch Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, and other games outside its regular broadcast window.
What Is NFL RedZone and How Does It Work?
NFL RedZone is a live television channel that moves between games as teams approach scoring opportunities. Hosted by Scott Hanson, the program provides approximately seven hours of Sunday afternoon football coverage throughout the regular season.
Rather than showing one complete game, RedZone switches between stadiums to follow touchdowns, goal-line situations, and other important plays. The broadcast can also show multiple games simultaneously when several teams are involved in scoring opportunities.
The format has become especially useful for fantasy football players who want to track multiple quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, and defenses. Fans can see scoring plays from teams outside their local television market without having to purchase individual game broadcasts.
The channel generally begins its Sunday coverage at 1 p.m. Eastern and continues through the late afternoon games. It does not provide full live coverage of Sunday evening or Monday evening matchups.
RedZone also differs from NFL Sunday Ticket, which offers access to eligible out-of-market Sunday afternoon games in their entirety. Fans who want to follow one specific team from kickoff until the final whistle may need Sunday Ticket or the appropriate local broadcaster instead.
How to Stream NFL RedZone Without Cable
Several subscription services offer NFL RedZone, although prices and package requirements vary. Viewers should compare the total subscription cost rather than looking only at the price of a sports add-on.
NFL+ Premium is one of the most direct ways to subscribe. The service costs $14.99 per month or $99.99 per season, according to the NFL, and includes RedZone on supported devices.
NFL+ Premium also provides full and condensed game replays, access to NFL Network, and other football programming. However, live local and nationally televised games available through NFL+ have separate device restrictions, so the service does not replace every traditional television channel.
DIRECTV offers RedZone through its Sports Pack, which costs an additional $14.99 per month with an eligible television subscription. Customers using its MySports package can alternatively purchase MySports Extra for $13.99 per month.
Fubo offers RedZone through Sports Plus with NFL RedZone for $10.99 monthly on eligible plans. It also lists a More Sports with NFL RedZone option for $9.99 per month on qualifying subscriptions.
Sling TV offers RedZone through its Sports Extra add-on. The listed price is $11 per month with eligible Sling Select or Sling Blue subscriptions, while the Orange & Blue combination has a higher Sports Extra add-on price of $15 per month.
YouTube TV customers can add NFL RedZone through the Sports Plus package for $10.99 monthly. The service also offers NFL Sunday Ticket packages that can include RedZone for viewers who want more complete access to out-of-market games.
Each option has different advantages depending on whether viewers already subscribe to a live television service. Add-on fees are separate from the required base subscription, and promotional discounts or trial offers may change.
Complete NFL Week 9 Schedule
Week 9 began Thursday, November 5, when the Jacksonville Jaguars faced the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. That game aired through Amazon Prime Video, outside RedZone’s Sunday afternoon schedule.
Sunday, November 8, featured a morning international matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons in Madrid. The game began at 9:30 a.m. Eastern on NFL Network, before RedZone’s regular coverage window.
The main Sunday afternoon schedule included:
- 1:00 p.m. ET: Denver Broncos at Carolina Panthers
- 1:00 p.m. ET: Dallas Cowboys at Indianapolis Colts

- 4:25 p.m. ET: Green Bay Packers at New England Patriots
- 4:25 p.m. ET: Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks
These 11 matchups formed the main RedZone viewing window, allowing the channel to switch between games throughout the afternoon. The schedule included both early and late kickoffs, giving viewers multiple opportunities to follow simultaneous scoring drives.
All listed times are Eastern. Viewers in the Pacific time zone can subtract three hours, meaning the regular RedZone broadcast begins at approximately 10 a.m. Pacific.
How to Watch Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the Chicago Bears on Sunday, November 8, with kickoff scheduled for 8:20 p.m. Eastern. The game is carried nationally by NBC, with streaming available through Peacock.
Fans can watch NBC through a participating television provider, an eligible live television streaming package, or an over-the-air antenna where local reception is available. Peacock provides a separate streaming option for viewers who do not have a traditional cable subscription.
Monday Night Football features the Buffalo Bills visiting the Minnesota Vikings on November 9. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. Eastern, with coverage on ESPN and ABC.
Viewers can watch the Monday game through participating television services or qualifying ESPN streaming access. NFL+ also offers live local and nationally televised games on supported phones and tablets, subject to its subscription and viewing restrictions.
Neither primetime matchup is part of the NFL RedZone broadcast. Fans interested in those games must use the appropriate broadcaster or streaming service rather than relying on a RedZone subscription.
Choosing the Most Affordable NFL RedZone Option
For viewers who only want RedZone, NFL+ Premium offers a straightforward monthly subscription without requiring a traditional live television package. At $14.99 monthly, it may cost less overall than subscribing to a full streaming television service and purchasing a separate sports add-on.
The calculation changes for households that already receive live television through DIRECTV, Fubo, Sling, or YouTube TV. In those cases, adding RedZone to an existing subscription may be more practical than opening another account.
Fans considering free trials should verify whether RedZone is included during the promotional period. Some providers offer trials for their base packages while excluding premium add-ons or requiring an additional charge.
Subscribers should also confirm that their devices support the service they choose. NFL RedZone is available on various smart televisions, phones, tablets, and streaming devices, but compatibility and simultaneous-stream limits vary by provider.
For viewers who want full out-of-market games rather than highlights, NFL Sunday Ticket is a separate product worth comparing. It is available through YouTube and YouTube TV, while RedZone can be purchased through other participating providers.
Week 9 closes with the Bills-Vikings game on Monday night. RedZone’s next regular broadcast is scheduled for Sunday, November 15, when Week 10 continues the NFL’s November schedule.
