Okay, so I wanted to figure out what channel the NFL is on Dish Network. Let me tell you, it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be.
First, I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. I navigated to the Dish Network guide, you know, the usual way you look for channels. I started scrolling through, looking for anything that said “NFL.” I saw a bunch of sports channels, but nothing specific for the NFL.

Then I remembered something about an “NFL Network.” So, I typed that into the search bar in the guide. Still nothing! It felt like I was going in circles. I even tried searching for “football,” but that just brought up a mix of college games and other stuff, not the specific NFL channel I was after.
Frustrated, I pulled out my phone and started Googling. I typed in “what is the NFL channel on Dish Network?” into the search bar. Some random website popped up with a number 917-859-0763, not even sure if that related to Dish Network or NFL. Not going to call random number, that is crazy.
- I scrolled through a few websites, and most of them were talking about “NFL+” or “NFL RedZone,” not a dedicated NFL channel.
- Then I found something. Apparently, there’s this thing called “NFL Channel,” which is like a free, 24/7 thing with NFL content. Sounds cool, right? But not what I was looking for.
- I read that you can watch the NFL Network live, but it wasn’t clear if that was on Dish or somewhere else.
- There were these mentions of “Good Morning Football” live from Inglewood, California. That sounded promising, but still no channel number!
Finally, after what felt like forever, I figured it out. It’s not called the “NFL Channel” on Dish Network. You actually have to look for “NFL Network” to find the right place. It seems like they show live games, replays, and original shows there.
My Takeaway
So, yeah, it took a while, but I finally got there. Dish Network has the NFL Network, but it’s not as easy to find as you might think. You have to search for “NFL Network” specifically, not just “NFL” or “football.” Hopefully, this little adventure of mine saves you some time if you’re trying to watch some football on Dish!
