* NFL Network may carry select Thursday or special games.

  • Live TV streaming (no cable)
    Services that typically give you the same channels as cable in most markets:

    • YouTube TV: includes ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, NFL Network in many areas; often used to watch Steelers live.
* DirecTV streaming, Fubo, and similar bundles carry ESPN and the main broadcast networks, and may offer free trials around big games.
  • NFL Sunday Ticket / out‑of‑market
    • NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube and YouTube TV lets you watch Sunday afternoon out‑of‑market games (not blacked‑out local ones).

Mobile, apps, and single‑network options

  • Paramount+ (CBS games)
    • When a Steelers game is on your local CBS station, you can stream it live via Paramount+ on phones, tablets, and TVs.
  • ESPN’s direct streaming
    • ESPN’s own streaming tier (often branded alongside ESPN’s online services) carries the live ESPN channel for Monday Night Football and other ESPN programming.
  • League‑run options
    • NFL+ in the U.S. offers live local and primetime games on mobile/tablet only, plus replays on other devices.
* The NFL app and some network apps (FOX Sports, NBC Sports, ESPN) let you stream the game if you sign in with a TV/streaming provider that includes that channel.

Outside the U.S.

  • Game Pass International via DAZN
    • In most countries outside the U.S. and China, live and on‑demand Steelers games are available through DAZN’s NFL Game Pass International, which carries all NFL games.
* You can usually choose monthly or season passes; pricing depends on region.

Quick checklist before kickoff

  • Check which channel your specific Steelers game is on (CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, ABC, NFL Network).
  • If you’re in the U.S. and it’s:
    • On CBS → watch via cable/satellite, antenna, or Paramount+ (in‑market).
* On FOX/NBC/ABC → watch via antenna, cable, or a live TV streaming service like YouTube TV, DirecTV streaming, or Fubo.

* On ESPN → watch via cable/satellite or any streaming bundle that includes ESPN.
  • If you’re out of market on a Sunday afternoon and just want Steelers: consider NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube/YouTube TV (where available).
  • If you’re outside the U.S. : look for Steelers under NFL Game Pass on DAZN.
