Best Way to Watch (Cord Cutters)

Fubo carries 14 of 20 New York Giants games this season

Try Fubo Free

For games not on Fubo's networks (Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix exclusives), you'll need additional subscriptions — covered in detail below.

The New York Giants are an NFC East team in the National Football League, playing 20 games during the 2026 season — 3 preseason and 17 regular-season matchups across roughly six broadcast partners. Most New York Giants games this season air on FOX (8 games), CBS (4 games), and NBC (1 games). Thursday Night Football is streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, Netflix carries a small number of exclusive games (typically Christmas Day and select international fixtures), and Monday Night Football airs on ABC or ESPN. For viewers without cable, Fubo is the most comprehensive single-subscription option — it carries the major over-the-air networks (FOX, CBS, NBC) plus ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network in most US markets. Fans in New York can also watch local broadcasts free over-the-air with an HD antenna.

Streaming Services That Carry the New York Giants

Five live-TV streaming services carry NFL games — each with different channel lineups, prices, and trade-offs. Here's how they compare for New York Giants fans:

YouTube TV

Carries FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network. Also includes NFL Sunday Ticket as an add-on subscription — the only way to watch out-of-market Sunday afternoon games. The most popular live-TV streaming service overall, with strong DVR and multi-stream features.

Hulu + Live TV

Carries the major networks (FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC, ESPN). Doesn't include NFL Network in the base plan but does in higher tiers. Bundle includes Hulu's on-demand library plus Disney+ and ESPN+.

Sling TV

Cheapest option but the most limited. Sling Blue carries NBC, FOX, NFL Network in some markets. Sling Orange carries ESPN. Neither carries CBS, which is a significant gap for New York Giants fans during CBS broadcast weeks.

DirecTV Stream

Premium pricing but the most cable-like experience. Carries all major NFL networks. The successor to AT&T TV; aimed at viewers willing to pay more for full channel parity with traditional cable.

NFL's Own Streaming Services

NFL Sunday Ticket

NFL Sunday Ticket is the only way to watch out-of-market Sunday afternoon games — meaning New York Giants games when you live outside the team's local TV market. Sunday Ticket is exclusive to YouTube TV (as an add-on) and YouTube Primetime Channels (standalone). It does not include Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, or Thursday Night Football, which are available through their respective broadcast partners.

NFL+

NFL+ is the league's direct-to-consumer streaming service. The base tier streams local and primetime games on mobile devices only (phones and tablets — not TVs). NFL+ Premium adds full-game replays and NFL RedZone. Useful for watching on the go but not a substitute for full live-TV streaming on a television.

NFL RedZone

NFL RedZone is a whip-around channel that cuts to every Sunday afternoon scoring opportunity live. It's available via Fubo, YouTube TV, Sling TV (as an add-on), and NFL+ Premium. Useful for fans who want to follow New York Giants while also keeping up with the rest of the league.

All major live-sports streaming services support the same set of devices. If you have any modern smart TV or streaming stick, you can watch on it:

  • Roku — Roku Streaming Stick, Roku Ultra, Roku-enabled smart TVs (TCL, Hisense, others)
  • Amazon Fire TV — Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Cube, Fire-enabled smart TVs

Free Ways to Watch the New York Giants

Most New York Giants games — including all Sunday afternoon broadcasts on FOX and CBS, Sunday Night Football on NBC, and Monday Night Football simulcasts on ABC — are free over-the-air with an HD antenna in the New York market. A basic indoor antenna ($20-$40) pulls all four major networks in clear digital quality. Outdoor or attic-mounted antennas extend range and reliability for viewers further from broadcast towers.

Streaming-service free trials are the other zero-cost option. Fubo offers a free trial for new subscribers — enough to watch several weeks of games before deciding to subscribe. YouTube TV typically runs trial promotions during the NFL season. Always verify current free-trial terms on each service's site, as offers change.

The two game types that cannot be watched free are Thursday Night Football (Amazon Prime Video exclusive) and Netflix-exclusive games (Netflix subscription required). There is no legal free streaming option for these — they require their respective paid subscriptions.
