YouTube Will Livestream NFL 2025 Season Game for Free, a First for the Video Giant


YouTube scored exclusive rights to an NFL game for the 2025 season, the first time the video platform will livestream a full NFL game for free.

Prime Video also has a wildcard game in January 2026 and will present the third edition of “Black Friday Football” the day after Thanksgiving featuring the Chicago Bears at the Philadelphia Eagles. “We are excited to expand our relationship with YouTube to bring this year’s Brazil game to a worldwide audience,” said Hans Schroeder, the NFL’s executive VP of media distribution. They teamed up for the first livestreamed flag football event at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans this year, which garnered more than 6 million live views across the YouTube channels of the NFL and participating creators, athletes and artists (which included IShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, Jason Kelce, Michael Vick, Cam Newton, Quavo and Jordan Chiles).
