How to Watch NFL Week 2 for Free
Fans looking for a free way to watch NFL Week 2 have a few legitimate options, although availability depends on the game, location and service.
For Sunday afternoon games shown on FOX or CBS, viewers in the local broadcast area can often watch for free with an over-the-air antenna. FOX also says local games can be watched through FOX Sports with TV-provider credentials.
Free trials can also sometimes provide another option. Streaming services occasionally offer promotional trials or introductory offers, but availability and terms can change, so viewers should check the current offer before signing up.
For example, CBS games can be streamed through Paramount+ when the game is available in the viewer’s local market.
Sunday Night Football is available through NBC and Peacock, while Monday Night Football is carried by ESPN and ABC. These services generally require an eligible subscription or TV-provider access, although promotional offers may be available at certain times.
There isn’t one universal free stream that legally carries every NFL game. The network carrying each game and the viewer’s location determine which free or paid option is available.
How to Watch NFL RedZone
NFL RedZone is designed for fans who want to follow multiple Sunday afternoon games rather than watching one specific matchup.
Instead of showing one complete game, RedZone jumps between live games and focuses on scoring opportunities, including drives approaching the goal line and touchdowns. It can be particularly useful when several games are being played at the same time.
NFL RedZone is available through participating pay-TV providers and through NFL+ Premium. NFL’s official viewing guide says NFL+ Premium includes RedZone, while NFL+ itself provides live local and prime-time games on supported mobile devices.
For Week 2, RedZone coverage can follow the Sunday afternoon FOX and CBS games, making it an option for viewers who want to keep up with multiple matchups simultaneously.

CBS carries several Week 2 Sunday games, including:
New Orleans Saints vs. Baltimore Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Houston Texans

Cleveland Browns vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Viewers in the local market can watch CBS through traditional television or an eligible live-TV service. Paramount+ also offers live local CBS programming in supported markets.

Miami Dolphins vs. San Francisco 49ers
FOX’s local NFL broadcasts can be viewed through participating TV providers and supported streaming services. Viewers with an antenna may also be able to receive their local FOX affiliate without a pay-TV subscription.
Watch NFL Week 2 on Peacock
Peacock is one of the main streaming options for Sunday Night Football.
The Indianapolis Colts vs. Kansas City Chiefs game will air on NBC and stream on Peacock at 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday night.
Peacock is therefore particularly useful for fans who want to watch the Week 2 prime-time game without relying on a traditional cable package.

ESPN carries Monday Night Football.For Week 2, the New York Giants vs. Los Angeles Rams matchup is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET Monday, September 21. The game is also listed for ABC, giving viewers another traditional broadcast option.
