NFL games have never been available on so many different platforms before. It's gone well beyond just network television channels. Fans need several different streaming services to watch high profile games throughout the season now.
Luckily for Cincinnati Bengals fans, the team is only playing two games broadcasted on a single streaming service this season. Fans will need an Amazon Prime account to watch both of Cincinnati's Thursday Night Football matchups against the Baltimore Ravens, and Cleveland Browns this fall.
Because of this, the cost to watch all 17 Bengals games this regular season is a bit lower than other prominent franchises.
A to Z Sports' Mike Payton calculated the average cost to watch every NFL club's full season of games, using the average price for cable of $74 a month as a base to cover network broadcasts.
Factoring in the cost of Prime, the average Bengals fan who plans on watching every game from home will spend an average of $383.99.
19 other teams are in this price tier, so Bengals fans can consider their costs to be about average relative to other fanbases.
$383.99 is lower than six other clubs. Fans of the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers will expect a cost of $390.98, and fans of the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles will pay just under that at $389.98.
Netflix and Peacock subscriptions are not required to watch any Bengals game this year, so fans don't have to worry about spending on those services if they aren't already subscribers.
Should the Bengals return to postseason form this season, opportunities to play in featured games broadcasted on this platforms may come about. For now, Bengals fans can stick to cable for 15 of the 17 games, and log on to Amazon for two nights.
