Is RedZone on ESPN? Bundle details
No — RedZone isn’t streaming inside the ESPN app this season. But you can bundle ESPN Unlimited or the ESPN Unlimited Bundle with NFL+ Premium for $39.99/month to get RedZone. You’ll still sign in to watch RedZone via NFL properties included in that bundle.
Where can you watch RedZone all season?
RedZone is offered through major cable providers (Xfinity, Spectrum, Dish, Cox, Fios by Verizon, and Optimum) and on live TV streamers including fuboTV, Sling TV, YouTube TV, NFL+, DIRECTV, and Hulu + Live TV. Pricing varies by platform, but expect the RedZone add‑on to run roughly $11–$15 per month.
Does NFL+ include RedZone?
Yes. RedZone is part of the NFL+ Premium plan for $14.99/month or $79.99/year. You can stream on TV, PC, phone, or tablet.
Scott Hanson confirms NFL RedZone will have commercials in some capacity this season — which is something he has no control over.
The intro will be: “7 hours of RedZone Football start now.”

What RedZone is (and isn’t)
RedZone, hosted by Scott Hanson, is a whip‑around channel built for scoring plays and crunch‑time drives. On busy Sundays, you’ll see up to eight games at once in the famed octobox. It’s not a replacement for full games; it’s the fastest way to track touchdowns and red‑zone possessions across the entire Sunday afternoon slate.
Helpful reminders for today
- The free preview on Sunday, September 7, 2025, is limited to participating partners and does not include NFL+.
- RedZone isn’t inside the ESPN app; access it by bundling ESPN Unlimited with NFL+ Premium for $39.99/month, then stream RedZone via the NFL experiences included in that bundle.
- Expect the RedZone add‑on to be an extra line item on most live TV services (roughly $11–$15/month) in addition to your base subscription.
That’s the simplest path for how to watch RedZone today and for the rest of the season — from the Week 1 free preview on September 7, 2025, to the add‑ons that make sense for your setup.
