The NFL continues to be one of the most popular sports leagues in the U.S. and even globally, and a big reason for that is the NFL RedZone channel. Hosted by Chris Hanson, this legendary Sunday show gives fans seven hours of non-stop, commercial-free football, showcasing every touchdown from every game. It’s basically the ultimate football-watching experience!

So why is RedZone such a hit? For starters, it eliminates the thing we all hate: commercials. Instead of sitting through boring ads during a game, RedZone jumps to another game that’s in the heat of the action. It’s football overload, with none of the usual breaks that make you want to change the channel.

One of the big reasons fans love it—especially fantasy football junkies—is that it makes keeping up with players super easy. You’re getting every major play and all of the touchdowns, so you never miss out on those key moments, all without interruptions.

And here’s the best part: you don’t even need cable to tune in! With the rise of streaming services, cord-cutters can join the seven-hour football fest every Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

Now, we all know that figuring out which streaming service carries what can get confusing, but don’t worry. If you’re thinking of hopping on the RedZone bandwagon, here’s all you need to know to get started and enjoy the ride.
