NFL RedZone (stylized as NFL RedZone from NFL Network) is an American sports television channel owned and operated by the National Football League since September 13, 2009. It is named after the term "red zone", the part of the football field between the 20-yard line and the goal line. As a "special" game-day exclusive, it broadcasts on Sundays during the NFL regular season from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern (10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific), or when the next-to-last afternoon window game ends. RedZone provides "whip around" simulcast coverage of all Sunday afternoon games airing in-progress on CBS and Fox.
RedZone is based out of the NFL Network studios and is hosted by Scott Hanson. The channel prides itself on showing "every touchdown from every game," and is closely linked to Fantasy Football, reporting superlatives and tracking various statistical accomplishments throughout the afternoon. RedZone monitors coverage of the traditional Sunday 1:00 p.m. "early" games and 4:05/4:25 p.m. "late" games.
RedZone is offered by numerous pay TV providers. DIRECTV aired a separate, similar program which was replaced by NFL RedZone in autumn 2023. This change was made when YouTube purchased the rights to the out-of-market NFL Sunday Ticket package.
In August 2025, ESPN announced Redzone would also became part of its new direct-to-consumer package.
RedZone is also broadcast live internationally. In the United Kingdom it is shown on the Sky Sports Mix television channel, and in Canada, Germany and Italy on DAZN, every Sunday and for the full seven hours. It is a direct simulcast of the American feed, with no commercial breaks, live coverage of both the early and late games and Hanson hosting. The major difference is that when there is only one Sunday afternoon game left being played, international viewers will be able to see it to its conclusion on RedZone, while domestic viewers will be switched immediately to the day's highlights to protect CBS/Fox and NFL Sunday Ticket still televising the game.
In August of 2025, ESPN purchased both the NFL Network as well as NFL RedZone in an equity deal, granting them with the ability to use the RedZone trademark and branding for other products. The deal was finalized in January of the following year. In September of 2026, RedZone at the U.S. Open served as the first usage of the RedZone trademark for their own products under this deal.
