1. Sling
When it comes to watching the latest NFL season, you’ll need to rely on CBS, FOX, ESPN, NFL Network, and NBC. Well, the good news is that the majority of those TV networks are available on Sling TV (which comes as a premium-priced OTT service).
Sling TV can meet the majority of your NFL-related needs. On top of that, it also comes with affordable subscriptions, allowing you to pick from extras and fine-tune your IPTV-watching experience. Here’s our Sling TV review for more information.
With that said, if you decide to become a Sling TV subscriber – know that you use the ‘Sling’ addon for Kodi. It comes from GitHub, which means that it’s an unofficial addon. However, it works without any issues, letting you use your credentials and watch Sling TV on any device.
2. DAZN
DAZN has recently expanded to a huge list of countries and markets, which means it’s available worldwide – which is its biggest strength right now. This OTT platform has come up with an incredibly compelling offer for watching NFL games, and it also has affordable subscription plans.
During the 2021 NFL season, DAZN will bring every NFL game. That means you get regular-season games in addition to every single Playoff matchup. These games are available both on-demand and live.
With that said, if you decide to subscribe to DAZN, you’ll get to watch every NFL game via Kodi as well. DAZN offers a highly polished Kodi addon from its official repository. It streams in HD, brings the latest content, and comes with frequent updates.
3. ESPN 3
In case you already have a cable or OTT subscription with ESPN channels included, why not take advantage of that? Yes, that’s true – there’s a very special ESPN addon for Kodi, allowing you to live stream certain NFL games in HD.
Called ESPN 3, this addon lets you watch channels like ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNU, ESPNews, ESPN Deportes, SEC, Longhorn, SECPlus, and ACCExtra. Therefore, we’re talking about plenty of content here.
The only trick here is that you need to authenticate your account. That means you need to have an existing cable or OTT subscription to activate this addon. Unless you do so, some free content is available as well – like ESPN3 and ACCExtra.
4. iPlayer WWW
When it comes to those residing in the United Kingdom, BBC’s channels provide the best experience of watching the latest NFL games. Aside from broadcasting NFL games live, you can also watch the NFL Show, following ‘Match of The Day’ on Saturday nights.

NFL Kodi Addons Not Working? Try These Fixes!
We hope you won’t have any trouble installing the Kodi addons recommended in this article. However, if you encounter any errors while installing or using them, try the following.
- Before you try anything else, we recommend clearing Kodi’s cache files. These are temporary files designed to speed up Kodi’s performance but can also cause technical issues. Therefore, clearing the cache might help with error messages such as “Something went wrong.”
- Then, we recommend updating Kodi. However, know that very few addons work with Kodi 19 right now, so you might want to update to Kodi 18.9 if you use an older version.
- You’ll also often encounter error messages related to failed dependencies. In those cases, you need to install the required dependencies manually, so use the provided link to learn how that is done.
- And lastly, our readers have noted seeing the “This addon is not compatible with this version of Kodi” error message, which often happens with Kodi 19. The solution here is to downgrade to Kodi v18.9 if possible since many add-ons are not yet updated for the latest version of Kodi.
That would be all on how to watch NFL on Kodi in 2021. We hope that we’ve helped you find the best-working NFL addons that are aligned with all your needs. Lastly, make sure to check our latest Kodi-related articles – and thanks for reading!
