To watch the NFL on Google TV or Chromebook, simply open the Google Play Store, search for the official NFL App, and click Install.

In 2026, you no longer need to “cast” from your phone, the app runs natively on your TV and laptop for the best picture quality.

Whether you have the new Google TV Streamer 4K or a trusted Chromebook, this guide will show you how to set up the NFL app, access NFL+, and catch every touchdown.

💡 Pro Tip for Chromebooks: If the Android app feels sluggish, you can simply open Chrome and go to NFL.com/watch or Amazon Prime (for TNF) in the browser. It often uses less battery!
