Though it may not always seem as simple as it should be, it’s still fairly easy to watch every San Francisco 49ers game without cable in 2026.
Your options will vary depending on what exactly you’re looking for, and whether games are in or out of your market, but no matter your situation or location, we have the full rundown on how you can stream any 49ers game this season:
Note: Heavy may receive a commission if you subscribe to a service on this page.
How to Watch 49ers Games Without Cable
-For locally televised games (Sunday morning/early afternoon start times), you can check here to see if you are in or out of market
-Primetime games are always considered “in market” everywhere in the United States
IN MARKET
If you want to watch nearly every 49ers game with one service (in order of recommendation):
- Fubo “Sports+News”: $65 per month
- DirecTV Stream “MySports”: $65 per month
- YouTube TV “Sports”: $65 per month
Each of these options will get you every 49ers game except ones that are exclusively on Prime Video or Netflix.
If you want to watch a single game for free:
- Fubo “Sports+News” (5-day free trial) for any game on any channel
- DirecTV Stream “MySports” (5-day free trial) for any game on any channel
- YouTube TV “Sports” (21-day free trial) for any game on any channel
- Fox One (3-day free trial) for games on Fox
- Paramount+ via Prime Video (7-day free trial) for games on CBS
- Amazon Prime (30-day free trial) for games on Prime Video
If you don’t have a free trial available and want to watch a single game for as cheap as possible:
-Note that NFL+ ($7 per month) is actually the cheapest option for all local and primetime games, but you’ll only be able to watch on your phone or tablet
- Peacock “Premium” ($13 per month) for games on NBC
- Fox One ($20 per month) for games on Fox
- Paramount+ via Prime Video ($9 per month) for games on CBS
- Sling Orange Day Pass ($5 for a day) for games on ESPN
- Prime Video ($9 per month) for games on Prime Video
- NFL+ ($7 per month) for games on NFL Network
- Netflix ($9 per month) for games on Netflix
OUT OF MARKET
If you want to watch any locally televised game:
- NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube ($240 for the season)
Yep, that’s the only option for watching locally televised games from out of your market.
If you want to watch a primetime game:
Refer to the above “IN MARKET” section, as primetime (nationally televised) games are considered in-market games.
CANADA & INTERNATIONAL
If you want to watch any and every NFL game, plus NFL Network and RedZone:
- NFL Game Pass on DAZN (price varies by country; excludes China)
Again, that’s the only way to watch a live stream of games from outside the United States.
How Much Will it Cost to Stream Every 49ers Game?
We’re looking at this from an in-market perspective since out-of-market and international options are limited, so the price is pretty straightforward there.
If you want to make things as simple as possible and stream every game (with the exception of Prime Video and Netflix games) from a single app, Fubo “Sports+News” is our recommendation. It’ll cost you $65 per month, or about $325 for the season (five months of service). That will get you every single local and primetime NFL game this season, as well as most college football games, other live sports and a number of other TV channels.
Alternatively, if you want to spend as little as possible, we would recommend signing up for Fox One for the season. Five months of service will run you $100. That will cover at least eight 49ers games, and then you can mix and match Netflix for the Week 1 game, Paramount+ via Prime Video for CBS games, Peacock “Premium” for NBC games, and a Sling Orange Day Pass for ESPN games when needed.
It will depend on how many free trials you have available, and when you sign up, but doing it this way will likely cost you a total of about $100 to $175 to watch every 49ers game.
