Streaming services · Sports bars · TV channels · Blackout info
Indianapolis Colts fans residing in Washington D.C. are in an excellent position to catch every game without the hassle of local blackouts. As Washington D.C. is significantly outside the Colts' primary broadcast market, you are considered 'out-of-market,' meaning no local blackout restrictions will apply to any NFL streaming service. This opens up a wide array of options for watching your favorite team. To catch all the action, you'll primarily rely on services that offer out-of-market NFL games. For nationally televised matchups, Amazon Prime Video will cover Thursday Night Football, Peacock will stream Sunday Night Football, and ESPN/ABC are your go-to for Monday Night Football. Local CBS, FOX, and NBC affiliates will carry most Sunday afternoon games, but for comprehensive out-of-market coverage, a dedicated NFL package is key.
