The New York Jets, now 0-4 after losing to the Miami Dolphins on Monday, are hoping to pick up their first win of the season as we head into Week 5 of the NFL. The Jets will host the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson, frustrated by his team’s performance last week, stated after that loss, “This past week was a ‘got to have it’ and the fact that we just played how we did, now this becomes an ‘absolutely got to have it’… We’ve got to go now. There’s no time, you know? We’ve got to have it this week.” Unfortunately for the Jets, the odds aren’t in their favor.
The Sunday afternoon Cowboys vs. Jets game will kick off at 1 p.m. ET on FOX. (Out-of-market fans can catch the game on YouTube TV‘s Sunday Ticket, or NFL+.)

How to watch NFL games in 2025:
Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna) or finding a live TV streaming service that carries the correct RSN (Regional Sports Network). If you want to watch out-of-market games, a $7 monthly subscription to NFL+ will let you watch every out-of-market-game local and primetime game in the season on your phone — but only a select few regular season games on your TV. You could also spring for the uber-expensive NFL Sunday Ticket package to get every out-of-market Sunday game of the season.
When it comes to nationally broadcast games, NFL games typically air across ESPN, NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC and NFL Network. Thursday Night Football games stream exclusively on Prime Video, select football games will stream exclusively on Peacock, games on CBS will stream live on Paramount+, and Monday Night Football games will air on ESPN or ABC and stream on the newly revamped ESPN+ this season. That’s six channels and four streaming platforms to keep up with this season — and that’s not counting your local RSN’s for in-market games and an NFL+ or NFL Sunday Ticket subscription for out-of-market games. Plus, Netflix is once again hosting at least two Christmas Day matches, so add that subscription into the mix. And we can’t forget about Fox One, Fox’s first streaming service, a place where you can also stream games airing on FOX (if you don’t already have access to it).
Confused? You’re not alone. Here’s a breakdown of the platforms we recommend checking out ahead of the 2025 NFL season, so that come game time, tuning into your favorite team’s games will be as easy as simply turning on the TV.
