NFL+ requires a free NFL account, created at nfl.com/plus. There are two tiers:
- NFL+ (free): local and primetime game replays, condensed replays, and NFL Network replays.
- NFL+ Premium (paid): everything you get on the free tier, plus full-game replays, the All-22 coaches' film, NFL Pro analytics, and more.
Which games and features you can access depends on your NFL+ plan, not your VPN connection—VPN Super doesn't change what's included in your subscription. If a game or replay isn't available, check your plan tier on nfl.com/plus before troubleshooting the VPN.
Common reasons NFL+ might not work with a VPN
- The server you're on is under heavy load during a high-traffic kickoff window
- NFL+ applies extra scrutiny to VPN traffic, which can occasionally affect playback
Try these steps
- Make sure the app is up to date. Update VPN Super from the App Store or Google Play. If you're on another platform, download the latest VPN Super version here.
- Switch to a Premium server. Premium servers are optimized for streaming. If playback fails on your current server, try switching to a different US server.
- Try the browser instead of the app. Open nfl.com/plus in Chrome or Safari with VPN Super running.
- Refresh your connection. Disconnect and reconnect to VPN Super. Then quit the NFL+ app and reopen it.
- If you're streaming on your browser, close and reopen the tab, or clear your browser cache.
- Note: If NFL+ prompts you to share your location, don't allow it. If you've already granted access, you can remove it in your browser's settings for nfl.com/plus.
Experiencing slow or interrupted playback?
If NFL+ loads but keeps buffering or dropping to a lower quality, the issue is likely connection speed rather than the VPN server itself.
Check your speed first. Run a speed test at speedtest.net with VPN Super connected. For smooth NFL+ playback, you'll need at least 3Mbps for 720p, 6Mbps for 1080p, and 25Mbps for 4K streaming.
If your speed looks fine but buffering continues, work through steps 1-4 in the section above.
Still not working?
Contact Support with your physical location, the protocol you're using, your device and OS version, and any error message NFL+ is displaying.
