The Jacksonville Jaguars arrive this season in the delicate middle ground between promise and permanence. In 2022, they were resurgent, storming back against the Los Angeles Chargers for a big playoff win. Last season, they stalled, undone by injuries, turnovers and defensive lapses.<\/p>\n
The franchise turns, as ever, on Trevor Lawrence. The former No. 1 pick was limited to 10 games last season due to injury, and the offense never found rhythm. Now, with new offensive-minded head coach Liam Coen, the expectation is not about potential but about stability \u2014 whether Lawrence can move past flashes and underachievement to anchor Jacksonville\u2019s future.<\/p>\n
The roster around him is built to help. Jacksonville reshaped its receiver room: second-year deep threat Brian Thomas Jr. and two-way rookie phenom Travis Hunter are in the fold. Travis Etienne remains the multipurpose threat, and Robert Hainsey steps in at center to steady protection. On defense, Josh Hines-Allen owns a franchise record with 17.5 sacks in a season, and the hope is Travon Walker edges closer to dominance. Tyson Campbell leads a reworked secondary, which now includes Jourdan Lewis at corner and Eric Murray at safety.<\/p>\n
The Athletic\u2019s Austin Mock pegs the win total<\/a> at 7.9. The division is within reach, but Jacksonville\u2019s question is whether it can be enduring. This season asks for establishment: of Lawrence, of the franchise under Coen, and of a team intent on making teal more than a promise in the AFC picture.<\/p>\n In addition to the usual channel rotation of CBS, Fox, NBC, ABC\/ESPN and NFL Network, this season\u2019s streaming rights also extend to Amazon Prime, Netflix, Peacock and YouTube. It can get exhausting (and annoying) to keep up with these changes, so we\u2019ve compiled a league-wide overview of how the current broadcast carousel works. All of the info below is formatted specifically for the Jaguars\u2019 2025 schedule<\/a> (pre-time flexes, which start as early as Week 5 this year).<\/p>\n Make sure you\u2019re also following the NFL<\/a> on The Athletic. Our Scoop City newsletter<\/a> is one of the best briefings in the game. And our senior writers have the versatility of Hunter, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.<\/p>\n All times listed below are ET.<\/p>\n Cable\/satellite\/streaming base<\/p>\n Ensuring access to all 17 Jaguars games begins with a basic TV provider. Here are the most popular domestic options, contingent on local availability, with pricing as of August 2025:<\/p>\n Average monthly cost: <\/strong>$85-100. Depending on the carrier, this will cover all NFL action except for out-of-market games, \u201cThursday Night Football\u201d on Prime and the Christmas slate on Netflix.<\/p>\n Sunday afternoon, in marketCBS and Fox<\/p>\n Our dueling homes for the busiest part of the weekly schedule. A majority of games will fall on Sunday afternoon, kicking off at either 1 or 4-4:30 p.m. Typically (though not always), the East Coast home teams play at 1. The Jaguars\u2019 late-afternoon start times are when they travel out west.<\/p>\n For the most part, CBS has the AFC home games and Fox has the NFC ones. That\u2019s not absolute, though. When there\u2019s no local team to prioritize, these over-the-air channels will show a game of national intrigue. Fox specifically brands this second afternoon window as \u201cAmerica\u2019s Game of the Week,\u201d and it features the usual suspects with later kickoffs.<\/p>\n Both networks have broadcast teams to spread around the league on Sundays. Here\u2019s a refresher on those lead crews:<\/p>\n CBS \u2014 \u201cHello Friends\u201d<\/a> Team<\/p>\n Jim Nantz and Tony Romo \/ Tracy Wolfson sideline Jaguars games on CBS<\/p>\n Fox \u2014 \u201cDancing Robots\u201d<\/a> Team<\/p>\n Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady \/ Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi sideline Jaguars games on Fox<\/p>\n What you\u2019ll need to watch:\u00a0<\/strong>One of the aforementioned cable or streaming packages, or a broadcast antenna for free over-the-air access. Local CBS games can also be streamed on Paramount+ (starting at $7.99\/month). Local Fox games can also be streamed on Fox One (starting at $19.99\/month).<\/p>\n Sunday afternoon, out of marketNFL Sunday Ticket<\/p>\n Jags fans outside of Duval will need NFL Sunday Ticket, which unlocks each out-of-market broadcast on a separate channel. For an extra fee, you can get NFL RedZone, the frenetic live whip-around anchored by Scott Hanson. That man is peerless in his love for American football<\/a>.<\/p>\n What you\u2019ll need to watch: <\/strong>YouTube is the current digital home provider of NFL Sunday Ticket (DirecTV carries it for businesses). New Sunday Ticket users can subscribe for $276\/year, which comes out to $23\/month. Returning users with YouTube TV are charged $378, or $31.50\/month, and those without YouTube TV pay $480 ($40\/month). These are the prices without RedZone.<\/p>\n Additionally, the league\u2019s NFL+ Premium app has standalone RedZone access for 12 installments of $14.99. Full out-of-market games can\u2019t be streamed live here, though, making it a better option for fantasy players rather than dedicated team loyalists.<\/p>\n The Athletic\u2019s Andrew Marchand reported<\/a> that ESPN recently sold 10 percent of its equity to the NFL in exchange for league media assets (NFL Network, cable RedZone rights and fantasy football games). So, as of Sept. 3, the new ESPN Unlimited direct-to-consumer (DTC) service is offering a bundle with NFL+ Premium for $39.99\/month.<\/p>\n Average monthly cost: <\/strong>$23-40<\/p>\n \u201cSunday Night Football\u201dNBC<\/p>\n Sundays always end with \u201cSunday Night Football,\u201d featuring Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth in the booth. Tirico is the successor to longtime SNF voice Al Michaels. Collinsworth, well \u2026 \u201chere\u2019s a guy\u201d<\/a> who gets really excited about nickel corners and pass-blocking running backs. Melissa Stark is NBC\u2019s Sunday night sideline reporter.<\/p>\n As we get into the later weeks, NBC will flex into matchups with greater playoff implications. The same goes for ABC\/ESPN (Mondays) and Prime Video (Thursdays). Network flexing is a contentious issue, though. Putting a more compelling game on national TV rewards viewers at home, but sudden schedule changes obviously hurt traveling fans. For SNF in Weeks 5-13, a flex must be announced at least 12 days before the game. That window halves to a six-day warning in Weeks 14-17.<\/p>\n Currently, the Jaguars are not scheduled to appear on \u201cSunday Night Football\u201d this year, but that could change if they get flexed into it down the road.<\/p>\n What you\u2019ll need to watch: <\/strong>A TV package, or a broadcast antenna for free over-the-air access, or a Peacock account (starts at $10.99\/month for the \u201cpremium\u201d live sports package).<\/p>\n \u201cMonday Night Football\u201dESPN, ABC<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where you\u2019ll find end-of-week pageantry with Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and the inescapable\u00a0theme music.<\/a>\u00a0Industry vet Lisa Salters dispatches from the sideline, along with Laura Rutledge. When there are multiple Monday night listings, Chris Fowler does play-by-play on the doubleheader\u2019s other game, with former safety Louis Riddick and former quarterback Dan Orlovsky on color commentary. Katie George and Peter Schrager cover the sidelines with that group. The MNF crew for ESPN Deportes includes play-by-play woman Rebeca Landa and analyst Sebastian Martinez-Christensen, with sideline reports from MJ Acosta-Ruiz and the incomparable\u00a0John Sutcliffe<\/a>.<\/p>\n There will usually be a simulcast on ESPN2 anchored by Peyton and Eli Manning. Sometimes, the Super Bowl-winning brothers offer unique vantage points on late-game situations. We get shenanigans in equal measure, because what else is this format for? The \u201cManningCast\u201d hosted Lawrence<\/a> and compared him to \u2026 Guidobaldo da Montefeltro, the Duke of Umberto. Sure!<\/p>\n Monday flexes go down Weeks 12-17, with the 12-day window for changes.<\/p>\n Jaguars games on ABC\/ESPN<\/p>\n What you\u2019ll need to watch: <\/strong>A TV package, or a broadcast antenna for free over-the-air access to ABC. ABC and ESPN are also available with the new ESPN DTC service ($29.99 per month).<\/p>\n \u201cThursday Night Football\u201dPrime Video<\/p>\n This marks year No. 4 of TNF on Amazon. Al Michaels does play-by-play, and he\u2019s joined by Kirk Herbstreit (\u201cCollege GameDay\u201d staple and Golden Retriever enthusiast). Kaylee Hartung handles the sideline. Thursday games are on the Prime Video app for national audiences, and broadcasts are free over-the-air in the two teams\u2019 home markets.\u00a0Alternatively, TNF can be streamed on Twitch or with an NFL+ subscription (mobile only, however).<\/p>\n Last year\u2019s ill-fated first TNF flex<\/a> did not lead to new safeguards; rather, the league reduced the notice window<\/a> from 28 days down to 21. Again, those flexes favor folks at home who want exciting and relevant late-season viewing, but it brings chaos to ticket holders and the participating teams themselves.<\/p>\n Jacksonville is not scheduled for any TNF games this season, either.<\/p>\n What you\u2019ll need to watch: <\/strong>Amazon Prime, which costs $14.99 per month, or NFL+ ($6.99\/month). TNF is also free on Twitch with a registered account.<\/p>\n Average monthly cost: <\/strong>$0-15<\/p>\n International gamesNFL Network<\/p>\n In addition to Brazil, football\u2019s world tour hits Ireland, England, Germany and Spain this year. Other than the Brazil game on YouTube, the rest of the international slate can be found on NFL Network and kicks off Sundays at 9:30 a.m.<\/p>\n Overseas fans are restricted from much of the regular season flow, sadly. NFL Game Pass on DAZN is the solution for the growing number of American football fans in international markets (pricing by country can be found here<\/a>).\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s\u00a0Matt Slater<\/a>\u00a0also recently reported that Channel 5 is picking up a few\u00a0free-to-air Sunday kickoffs<\/a>\u00a0for U.K. followers.<\/p>\n\n
