How to Download Streaming Apps for Your PS4
Select TV & Video from the content area, and then select the service you want to use. Select Download.
Most Thursday games will be on Amazon Prime Video.
You can download the Prime Video app on the PS4. The Prime Video app is also available for PS5 and PS3.
Sunday day games air on CBS and Fox. Many fans prefer the commercial-free whip-around coverage of NFL RedZone. Sunday Night Football is always on NBC.
To see all of those channels, you should have a live TV streaming service.
Of the services that offer these channels, only Hulu Live TV and YouTube TV are the only apps available on PS4. You may as well grab Hulu Live TV, since that also gives you free Disney+ and ESPN+. (You’ll be able to watch Hulu Live TV, Hulu on demand, Disney+, and ESPN+ on your PlayStation 4.)
If you subscribe to Paramount+, you can have access to any games airing on your local CBS affiliate, but Paramount+ is not compatible with PlayStation 4. The workaround is to download Amazon Prime Video and subscribe to Paramount+ as a Prime Video channel – that will let you watch your local CBS station on a PS4.
To watch Sunday Night Football on your PS4, you can watch NBC via Hulu Live TV and YouTube TV, or you can watch the games on Peacock (available on PS4)
To watch Monday Night Football in 2022, you’ll need ABC and ESPN. ESPN will carry all the games except one: the Sept. 19 Vikings at Eagles game will only be on ABC. Four games will be simulcast on both channels.
Again, Hulu Live TV probably makes the most sense for PS4 owners, though you could also use YouTube TV.
If you’d like to watch the 10 ManningCast games, you’ll need ESPN2, though four of those games will be shown on ESPN+.
Does NFL+ Work on PS4?
No. NFL+ does not work on PS4. That service only allows users to watch live games on mobile devices.
Can You Watch NFL Sunday Ticket on PS4?
Yes, you can watch all out-of-market games via NFL Sunday Ticket with your PS4, but you need to be a college student or someone living in an apartment or condo that cannot get a DirecTV Satellite signal. If you meet the eligibility requirements, you can pick up Sunday Ticket for $73.49/month or $99/month.
Summary
If you own a PlayStation 4, you’ll get maximum football if you subscribe to Hulu Live TV and Prime Video.
Amazon Prime Video gives you most Thursday games, while the Hulu Live TV package gives you everything on Sundays and Mondays, including the two very random games exclusive to ABC and ESPN+.
