NFL fans were furious about the breaking news that came out on Tuesday. For the second season in a row, Peacock will have an exclusive stream for at least one NFL game. The stream from last season did not go well at all with many fans upset about the whole situation, and now Peacock will stream a week 1 game for the 2024 season. It didn’t take long for fans to take to social media to share this displeasure for this move.
NFL Fans Freak Out On Social Media
Fans were quick to hate on this decision as it didn’t exactly go well when they did it last season for a playoff game. Here are some of the best fan reactions to the news:
“Are you kidding me,” a fan tweeted in response to this announcement.
Another fan replied, “We used to live in a country that provided games for free.”
“Every day of the week and on every streaming service one at a time,” a social media user wrote.
“This is insane,” a fan commented. “Opening game of season behind another app/paywall.”
Fans seem to all be in agreement that Peacock is not a streaming service they want to use to watch NFL games.

The Peacock announcement was not the only thing that upset many fans on Tuesday, as the NFL announced they would also be having a game on Christmas. Many fans were not happy about this as the league continues to try and dominate viewership.
