Additionally, YouTube TV is the exclusive provider of NFL Sunday Ticket for out-of-market games. If you are filling specific gaps without a full live TV package, standalone apps are essential. Paramount+ covers the bulk of the Patriots' Sunday afternoon AFC matchups broadcast on CBS, the FOX Sports app streams any cross-flex games broadcast on FOX, and Peacock is required for NBC's Sunday Night Football or exclusive games.

How to stream New England Patriots games out-of-market
If you live outside the New England broadcasting area, your local FOX and CBS affiliates will usually air different regional matchups instead of the Patriots' Sunday afternoon games.
For the 2026 season, YouTube retains the exclusive rights to NFL Sunday Ticket, which is the only way to watch live, out-of-market Sunday afternoon games. You can purchase NFL Sunday Ticket à la carte through YouTube Primetime Channels without needing a broader cable or streaming package. Alternatively, if you also want a comprehensive live TV package for local channels and sports networks, you can add Sunday Ticket to a base YouTube TV subscription.
