Story byThe Green Bay Packers are currently ranked No. 2 in the NFC North just behind the Chicago Bears, but a spot in the playoffs is not guaranteed, especially not with an upcoming schedule that includes five remaining division games. First up, the Packers will host the Minnesota Vikings, who are fourth in the division and don't necessarily pose a huge threat, but the games will only get more competitive and the wins more crucial from here on out.
The Sunday afternoon Vikings vs. Packers 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+.) Here's everything you need to know about how to watch this Sunday's game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers, and get the full Week 12 schedule for the rest of the league.

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.
AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhen 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 Amazon 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.

It also includes free access to ESPN's new ESPN+ unlimited plan. Fubo subscribers also get unlimited cloud DVR storage.
The new Fubo Sports tier will be available starting Sept. 2. You can get $10 off your first month, which brings the cost to $45.99. After your first month it goes up to $55.99/month.
