What Disney Plus offers for NFL games

Disney Plus does not carry live NFL games. The streaming service focuses on entertainment, sports documentaries, and some sports content through ESPN, but it does not have rights to broadcast regular-season or playoff football games.

However, if you have a Disney Plus subscription bundled with ESPN Plus or Hulu, you may have access to some football-related content through those services. ESPN Plus carries some Monday Night Football games and occasional playoff broadcasts, but this depends on your specific subscription package and the game schedule.

The Eagles' regular-season games air on traditional television networks (CBS, NBC, Fox) and are also available through services like NFL Plus, which is separate from Disney Plus.

Key Takeaways

  • Disney Plus itself does not broadcast NFL games, including Philadelphia Eagles games.
  • ESPN Plus, which is sometimes bundled with Disney Plus, carries some Monday Night Football games but not all Eagles broadcasts.
  • Eagles games typically air on CBS, NBC, or Fox depending on the week and game time.
  • NFL Plus is a separate streaming service from Disney Plus and offers out-of-market game replays and some live games on mobile devices.

Where to watch Eagles games instead

The Philadelphia Eagles play in the NFC East division, and their games are distributed across multiple networks. Most regular-season games air on CBS or Fox during the day, with some primetime games on NBC or ESPN. You can watch these games through a traditional cable or satellite subscription, or through streaming services that carry these networks.

If you want to stream Eagles games without cable, services like YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, and Sling TV carry the local CBS and Fox broadcasts that show most Eagles games. These services require separate subscriptions from Disney Plus.

NFL Plus offers another option: it provides out-of-market game replays the day after they air, plus live games on mobile devices for out-of-market viewers. This service is run directly by the NFL and costs less than most cable alternatives, though it does not include in-market games for local viewers.

Understanding ESPN Plus and football content

ESPN Plus is Disney's sports streaming service and is sometimes bundled with Disney Plus and Hulu as part of a package deal. ESPN Plus does carry some football, but the focus is on Monday Night Football and occasional playoff games, not the full Eagles schedule.

If you already have Disney Plus and want to add ESPN Plus, you can purchase it separately or as part of a bundle. The bundle typically costs less than buying each service individually. Check your current Disney Plus account to see if ESPN Plus is already included in your plan.

Even with ESPN Plus, you will still need another source to watch most Eagles games, since the service does not carry all NFL broadcasts.

Cable and satellite alternatives

Traditional cable and satellite providers like Comcast, Verizon Fios, and DirecTV carry all Eagles games as part of their standard sports packages. If you already subscribe to one of these services, you can watch games on your TV or through the provider's mobile app.

Many cable providers also offer streaming access through their own apps or through platforms like the NFL app, which may let you watch games if you log in with your cable credentials. Check your provider's website to see what streaming options come with your subscription.

Live TV streaming services that carry Eagles games

Several streaming services offer live broadcasts of CBS, Fox, and NBC, which means they can show Eagles games as they air. These services require a separate subscription from Disney Plus:

  • YouTube TV carries CBS, Fox, and NBC in most markets and includes NFL games in its base package.
  • Hulu with Live TV includes the same networks plus ESPN, so you get both regular-season games and Monday Night Football.
  • Sling TV offers a lower-cost option with Fox and NBC in most areas, though CBS availability varies by region.
  • FuboTV focuses on sports and carries CBS, Fox, and NBC with a sports-heavy channel lineup.

Each service has different pricing and channel availability depending on your location. Most offer a trial period so you can test the service before committing to a full subscription. Check the service's website to confirm that CBS, Fox, or NBC is available in your area before signing up.

Checking your current subscriptions

Before buying a new service, review what you already have. If you subscribe to cable, satellite, or a live TV streaming service, you may already have access to Eagles games through that service's app or website. Log in with your account credentials to see what games are available.

If you have a Disney Plus bundle that includes ESPN Plus, log into ESPN Plus directly to see the current football schedule. The app will show you which games are available to stream and which require a cable login or separate service.

Many people find they already have access to the games they want through an existing subscription and do not need to add another service.
