NFL Thanksgiving free live streams: How to watch 2025 football games online without cable image

TL;DR

  • Three NFL Thanksgiving games feature playoff contenders like the Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Chiefs, Ravens, and Bengals.
  • Games include Packers vs. Lions on Fox, Chiefs vs. Cowboys on CBS, and Ravens vs. Bengals on NBC.
  • All Thanksgiving Day games are available to stream live on Fubo, with Bengals vs. Ravens also on Peacock.
  • NFL Thanksgiving games are part of a larger holiday schedule including a Friday game and many weekend matchups.

NFL fans will once again be able to sit down and enjoy a football feast on Thanksgiving.

This year's Thanksgiving schedule features three games, with many teams intensely competing for a playoff spot, promising high stakes and considerable drama.

The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers kick off the day in Detroit, with The Lions aiming to regain some of the 2024 form that's been missing this season. Both the Lions and Packers are locked in a close three-way race for the NFC North alongside the Chicago Bears, making a loss particularly costly for either team.

The Dallas Cowboys will host the Kansas City Chiefs in North Texas' customary Thanksgiving Day matchup. Although this contest initially appeared to be a one-sided affair, a revitalized Cowboys defense might be able to contain a struggling Chiefs offense, potentially leading to a significant victory for Dallas on their home turf.

The Baltimore Ravens aim to extend their playoff push in the prime-time slot against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Cincinnati Bengals face slim chances of making the playoffs, regardless of Joe Burrow's presence, following numerous defeats in his absence.

Here's your comprehensive guide to viewing NFL games on Thanksgiving, detailing the top TV and streaming choices for all three matchups.
