A Fire Stick is one of the cheapest ways to watch NFL football on a big screen. You don't need a cable box or a contract, just the stick, Wi-Fi and a NeoStream plan. This guide takes you from a fresh Fire Stick to a live game in about 5 minutes.
What you need
An Amazon Fire TV Stick (any model; the 4K models give the sharpest picture)
Wi-Fi of at least 25 Mbps for HD, or 50 Mbps for 4K
A NeoStream account. New here? Start your free 1-day trial, no card needed.
Step 1: Allow apps from outside the Amazon store
On the Fire Stick home screen, open Settings → My Fire TV → Developer options.
If you don't see Developer options, go to My Fire TV → About and click your device name 7 times.
Turn on Install unknown apps for Downloader (you'll install it in the next step).
Step 2: Install NeoStream with Downloader
Search for Downloader on the home screen and install it. It's free.
Open Downloader and type the code 6000742, then press Go.
The NeoStream app downloads. Press Install, then Open.
Step 3: Sign in
NeoStream shows a QR code and a short code on the TV. Scan the QR code with your phone, or go to the link on screen, and sign in with your email. The TV signs itself in, so there's no typing passwords with the remote.
Step 4: Find the game
Open Live TV and search for the network carrying the game. Our NFL page keeps the latest news, and the live scores page shows what's on today. Add your team's channels to Favorites so they're one click away on game day.
Tips for a smooth game day
Restart the Fire Stick before kickoff (hold Select and Play for 5 seconds). It clears memory and fixes most stutters.
Use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi network if your router has one, or an Ethernet adapter for the steadiest picture.
Watching with friends in other rooms? Each screen needs its own connection. Multi-screen plans are on the plans page.
Frequently asked questions
Can I watch NFL games in 4K?

Does it work on the Fire TV Cube or a Fire TV smart TV?
Yes. The steps are the same on every Fire TV device.
What if the game buffers?
See our guide to fixing buffering. Most of the time it's Wi-Fi, and it takes a minute to fix.
