It costs over $1,000 for a fan to watch every game in 2025[/caption]

Everything is getting more expensive in 2025, but football is growing at an exponential rate.

While it is always expensive to watch a game in-person it shouldn’t be financially crippling to watch at home.

However, that is what is starting to happen with the prices of streaming services.

X account Dov Kleiman calculated the cost of watching the NFL season, and found it to be ridiculously expesive.

First, a fan needs to subscribe to Amazon Prime for the whole season, costing $89.94.

They also need to have ESPN+, which adds another $104.94.

NFL Sunday ticket comes next, which is a whopping $522.

YouTube TV is another massive expense this NFL season, costing fans $563.88.

Peacock will be needed for a few games, costing $13.99.

Lastly, Netflix is needed for the Christmas games, costing $22.99.


On top of all of those expenses, taxes come in from the top rope to add another $197.66.

In total, an NFL fan will need to spend $1,515.40 to watch the full NFL season this year.

NFL fans are furious with the cost of watching and shared their plans for the season on social media.

“Probably costs less than $500 to go to a sports bar to get a lunch and a couple beers every Sunday afternoon for 18 weeks,” one fan said.

“I’d just like to watch all my teams games and playoffs,” a fourth fan said.

“If the NFL offered a team package I would gladly pay. the NFL is stupid for not doing this,” a fifth fan said.
