Hi Community users,

Thanks for posting your concern about accessing the NFL app/channel to the Roku Community.

You can follow the steps below to help or see if this resolves the issue:

  • Using a browser, go to id.nfl.com/account on a computer, phone, or tablet.
  • Sign out of the website (if you’re currently signed in), then sign back in.
  • After signing back in, you should see a prompt to re-consent. Please try this and let us know if it resolves the issue.
  • If the consent pop-up does not appear, please sign out and sign back in again.
  • Once consent is accepted on the website, return to your Roku; the pop-up should be gone.
  • If the pop-up still appears, restart your Roku, reopen the NFL app, and try again.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please keep us updated. We are actively working with our partners at the NFL app to find a solution.

All the best,
Chel

Yeah, the no TV provider is my roadblock too....  This is very frustrating.  I can get a free hr of fox sports, but I can't see the game even after I sub up with NFL+ Premium.  I don't think Roku really supports watching football via the NFL+ app.

Yeap and the agent tech support folks act like ours is the first time they have heard of this issue! Go figure.

I did send an inquiry to the NFL support, have not heard back yet.

I just subscribed to the NFL network, after creating an account and they took the money out of my account but I cant access any of the games.  Everytime i go to look at a game it tells me to sign, so i do, then it gives me and activation code to use on my computer or QR code for the phone, so I do that and everytime it tells me there is an unexpected error, giving me no clue at all what the problem is.  This has been one of the worst experiences I have ever had trying to use Roku.  If they are not gonna let me watch the NFL network after paying for the **bleep** sure better be giving me my money back.

@sschild84  I think you may be following instructions for a Roku TV but you have a Roku player.  In that case, use your TV remote to access the antenna.

@engintech  If you called Roku support about choosing a TV provider, I’m not surprised that they don’t know about that.  (I’m sure if Roku themselves had a TV provider, they’d be happy to suggest their own, but they don’t! 😀)

Here’s a handy tool for comparing TV providers based on your desires.

I subscribed to NFL+ and last year was able to stream games from the NFL app on Roku.  This year though it's requiring me to either log in via a cable provider or any of a variety of other streaming service (ESPN, Prime, etc...).  I can play the games on my phone, but cannot stream from my phone to the Roku via Apple Play (I think this is by design, though, from what I read of the NFL FAQ pages).  It appears, though, that I SHOULD be able to watch the games on the Roku still but it won't and doesn't give me the option to do so.

You're not alone.  Same problem here.  Games will stream on my phone, but not the Roku.  For the record it steamed fine last year.  Requires me to sign in to a TV provider or a whole separate streaming service.  NFL+ support is a joke.  I've created about half a dozen tickets and they best they gave to me was to log out and back in again and restart the device.  Meanwhile I must have tried logging in about two dozen times in the way you described and the system just isn't working.  I'll put in the code and click to submit, but it just clears the field and doesn't do anything.

I'm sorry but that message gave out the wrong question. I thought I was replying to somebody else's comment. The full story with my issue is not football. It's the fact that I was trying to get to antenna television and that option was not available through the directed route I saw posted. I got to a certain point and then the directions didn't follow what my options were on TV. I hope that makes sense. I should be able to watch antenna television because there is antenna input option.
