Football is back, Indiana — but catching every Colts game this season isn’t as simple as flipping on cable. The NFL’s broadcast rights are split across multiple partners, and some games are exclusive to streaming platforms. If you want to watch every Colts snap live in 2025 without interruptions

Why There Are So Many Services

The NFL divides its media rights across networks and apps to maximize reach and revenue:

CBS: Most Sunday afternoon Colts games (AFC package).

FOX: Select Sunday games, especially when Colts face NFC opponents.

NBC: Sunday Night Football.

ABC, ESPN: Monday Night Football.

Amazon Prime Video: Exclusive Thursday Night Football.

Netflix: Exclusive Christmas Day games (Cowboys vs. Commanders, Lions vs. Vikings).

NFL Network/NFL+: International games and mobile streaming.

Even full cable packages won’t get you everything. Amazon, Netflix, and Peacock games require streaming and that means your Internet has to be reliable. Fiber Internet ensures smooth HD and 4K streaming with no buffering, even on the busiest Sundays.

Streaming Services Colts Fans in Indiana Need

To cover every game in-market, Colts fans should plan for this mix:

Paramount+ ($5.99/mo): Streams local CBS games (most Colts matchups).

Fox Sports or Fox One: For Colts games carried on FOX.

Peacock ($11.99/mo): For NBC’s Sunday Night Football

Amazon Prime Video (~$14.99/mo): For Colts Thursday Night Football games.

ESPN Unlimited ($29.99/mo): For Colts Monday Night Football games.

Netflix (~$7–8/mo): For the Christmas Day doubleheader.

NFL+ ($9.99/mo Premium): Mobile streaming, replays, and RedZone.

Cheapest Way to Watch Every Colts Game

  • Use an over-the-air antenna (~$25 one-time) for CBS, FOX, NBC, and ABC.
  • Subscribe to Amazon Prime Video for Thursday games.
  • Add Peacock for NBC’s Sunday Night Football.
  • Keep ESPN Unlimited for Colts’ Monday Night Football.
  • Grab Netflix in December for Christmas Day.
  • Use Paramount+ only if your antenna struggles to get CBS.

By timing subscriptions, you can keep your total spend closer to $130 for the season.

Why Fiber Internet is the Real MVP

When you’re bouncing between Paramount+, Peacock, Prime, ESPN, Netflix, and NFL+, your Internet connection has to keep up. Cable or DSL often slow down during peak game times.

With GigabitNow Fiber Internet, you’ll get:

  • Symmetrical speeds: fast downloads and uploads for smooth streams.
  • Consistent reliability: no throttling, no buffering, even during Sunday peak hours.
  • Room for everyone: stream Colts football while family watches Netflix or plays online games.

Bottom Line

For Indiana fans, most Colts games are on CBS, but key primetime and holiday games are spread across ESPN, NBC, Amazon Prime, Peacock, and Netflix. To watch them all, you’ll need a mix of an antenna plus a few subscriptions. Pair that with GigabitNow Fiber Internet and you’ll enjoy every touchdown, every drive, and every replay — crystal clear, without interruption. Check the Colts 2025 schedule for weekly broadcast updates, and make sure your home is powered by GigabitNow before kickoff.
