You'll need Amazon Prime Video for the Week 12 game against the Cleveland Browns, and you'll also want Netflix this season for the Christmas Day game against the Kansas City Chiefs. And if you're a streamer, you can watch all NBC games on Peacock and CBS games on Paramount+.
If you want to watch all 17 Pittsburgh games because you live and breathe Steelers and don't live in Pennsylvania, you’ll have to order NFL Sunday Ticket to watch more than half of their games that won’t be televised or on a streaming service.
Where can I watch the Pittsburgh Steelers play live?
For the 2024–2025 season, the Steelers will play on CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video. You can access these live TV channels with fuboTV, Xfinity TV, DISH TV, YouTube TV, and Hulu Live.
So whether you’re in or out of the Pittsburgh area, we have suggestions on how you can watch all 17 regular-season Steelers games. Scroll past this section to learn how to watch games that won't broadcast nationally.
So wherever you might be, you’ll still be able to see the Steelers win the AFC North division. Baltimore Shmaltimore.
YouTube TV has the channels and Ticket that Steelers fans need
YouTube TV is undoubtedly one of the best live TV streaming services, and it has all of the channels a Steelers fan wants for the 2024 season—CBS, ESPN, FOX, and NBC.
And YouTube TV has a service for the diehard Steelers fans who can’t fathom missing one game. NFL Sunday Ticket will give you all out-of-market games, which means that if a Steelers Sunday game isn’t broadcasted on live television, you can watch it with the Ticket.
You can get NFL Sunday Ticket + YouTube TV for $379 for the season or add NFL RedZone for $419.
But if you’re looking to save money for a Harris jersey, YouTube TV is one of few services that offers the NFL RedZone Channel as an add-on for $11 per month.
New and existing Verizon Wireless customers can get NFL Sunday Ticket for free with an Unlimited Ultimate plan and trade-in. If you're not interested in switching phone plans, you can snag a free Ticket with Verizon's Fios 1 Gig and 2 Gig plans, 5G Home Plus plan, and LTE Home Plus plan.

Fubo is great for sports fans and Steelers games
Fubo gives Steelers Nation the channels it needs to watch Steelers primetime games, Sunday afternoon games, and highlights in real time on the NFL RedZone Channel.
And if you’re an avid sports fanatic, you’ll like Fubo for all of its sports channels it offers, which total close to 50. That’s why we named it the best streaming service for sports.
fuboTV also has one of the best dollar-to-channel ratios. For $100 per month, you can get all major sports networks and 245 other channels.

Xfinity TV is the best cable TV option for Steelers supporters
If you want cable and want to watch the Steelers make it to the playoffs (because last year was a fluke), Xfinity TV is at your service.
Xfinity’s Popular TV package ($50 per month) gives you the NFL game-watching channels but only nine sports channels.
When you upgrade to the Ultimate TV plan for $20 more, you’ll get 60 more channels, including NFL Network, NBA TV, MLB Network, and SEC Network.
You can also order the NFL RedZone Channel for $10 per month to see all important plays on Sunday to monitor your Fantasy Football team. Watch Najee Harris run for 10 yards, then 20 seconds later, catch Pat Mahomes throwing a no-look pass.
Find out why we named Comcast Xfinity the best cable TV option.
DISH satellite TV has all the channels for Pittsburgh games
If you’re a traditional Steelers fan, DISH is the best satellite TV option for watching Kenny Pickett and team.
You’ll get all five channels with DISH’s entry-level package, America’s Top 120, for $98 per month. And you can also add the NFL RedZone Channel to your package for $13 per month.
If you're a Steelers fan and an NCAA fan, DISH has all the college football channels (which is rare in a TV service). So don't make any plans for the weekend or the Fall and Winter seasons, for that matter—you'll be busy.
Check out our DISH TV Network review for more info on plans, channel lineups, and DVR.
Hulu + Live TV is for Steelers fans who like their on-demand content
Not only does Hulu Live have NFL-game-watching channels, but subscribing to this service also means you get Hulu's entire on-demand library, Disney+, and ESPN+. You get all this for $88–$96 per month.
So after your Steelers game-watching parties, you can throw on The Waterboy, The Sandlot, or ESPN College Extra.
But if you plan on streaming Steeles games, you need a reliable internet service to go along with it. Bad internet means your stream could cut out randomly and will inevitably fall behind the real-time action. Thankfully, there are lots of solid internet options for fans living in the Pittsburgh area.
How can I watch the Pittsburgh Steelers while out of the region?
Whether you’re out of the region or the Steelers game isn’t nationally broadcasted on live TV, we have three suggestions for watching these: NFL Sunday Ticket, NFL RedZone Channel, and Amazon Prime Video.
NFL Sunday Ticket
NFL Sunday Ticket is available only on YouTube TV. And the Ticket is the only service that gets you all out-of-market NFL games.
Keep in mind this excludes one Steelers Thursday Night Football game, which will be available only on Amazon Prime Video, as well as the December 25th game against Kansas City, which will be available on Netflix.
The Ticket will be vital for Steelers fans this year because only three games are currently scheduled to be nationally televised. As games could be flexed at the end of the season, 12–13 games could potentially be available to you only with NFL Sunday Ticket this 2024 season.
Sunday Ticket with a YouTube TV subscription costs $349 for the season, or you can add the NFL RedZone Channel for $389.
NFL RedZone Channel
You can get the NFL RedZone Channel with fuboTV, YouTube TV, DISH, and Xfinity, so remember, it's an option!
If you don't need to watch the full Sunday Pittsburgh games, this ~$10 channel lets you see all of the highlights of the Steelers games in real-time.
This channel is perfect for Fantasy Football managers because you can watch George Pickens and Van Jefferson grabs, and you'll also get to see when the Steelers are in the red zone, Josh Allen touchdowns, and Nick Bosa sacks.
Amazon Prime Video
Steelers Nation and any NFL fan will need a Prime Video account to watch all TNF games this season.
The Pittsburgh Steelers play one Thursday Night Football game this 2024 season—Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns.
You can get Prime Video for $9 per month if you want access to only TNF and Prime Video’s on-demand library. You can also upgrade to an Amazon Prime membership for $15 for Prime Video, next-day Prime shipping, and a handful of other perks.
