NFL+ Military & First Responder Discount
A Military and First Responder discount verified through ID.me — the exact percentage is gated, so verify, then compare your code to the public sale and pick the lower.
Yes — NFL+ offers a Military and First Responder discount, verified through ID.me. You verify your status, then apply a season-specific promo code at checkout on an NFL+ or NFL+ Premium plan. One honest catch: NFL doesn’t publish the exact percentage — you see your price only after you verify, and the codes reset every season.
Here’s the part most pages miss: NFL+ also runs a public 20%-off annual promo every preseason that anyone can use with no verification, and it slashes prices even further in the off-season (historically to $19.99/year). The discounts don’t stack — one code per order — so the smartest move is to verify with ID.me, then compare your military code to the current public price and pick the lower one.

WHO QUALIFIES
NFL+ runs a Military and First Responder discount verified through ID.me, applied as a season-specific promo code at checkout. The exact percentage is not published — NFL reveals your price only after you verify, and the code resets each season.
- Active-duty service members across all branches, verified through ID.me Military.
- National Guard and Reserve members, verified through ID.me Military.
- Veterans and military retirees with a verifiable service history (NFL’s exact eligible list is gated behind the offer; medium confidence).
- Military spouses and dependents, typically covered by ID.me’s military group (gated; medium confidence).
- First responders — police officers, firefighters, and EMTs/paramedics — since NFL’s discount is explicitly "Military/First Responder".
- Nurses and hospital employees are not part of the military line, but the NFL+ ID.me store has historically listed a separate 25% off for these medical groups.

HOW TO REDEEM
Online at www.nfl.com/plus
- Start the Military/First Responder activationOpen the NFL+ Military/First Responder activation flow linked from NFL support, or the NFL+ ID.me store page (shop.id.me/stores/2049-nfl).
- Verify with ID.meSelect your category (Military or First Responder) and confirm your status with a free ID.me account. This one-time setup is reused across ID.me partners.
- Copy the season promo codeAfter verification, ID.me/NFL provides a season-specific promo code. Codes reset each season, so pull a fresh one every year.
- Redeem at NFL+ checkoutAt nfl.com/plus checkout, choose your plan, click Redeem Coupon, paste the code, and click Redeem.
- Compare before you payCheck your discounted price against the current public promo (e.g. 20% off annual) and use whichever is lower — they do not stack, one code per order.
HOW IT WORKS
Verification is handled by ID.me — the same service used by the VA, the IRS, and many major retailers. You create or sign in to a free ID.me account and confirm military or first-responder status. NFL issues new promo codes each season and voids prior-season codes, so re-pull a fresh code each year. There is no indication the discount is permanent or auto-renews at the discounted rate — treat it as a per-season code, not a lifetime price.
NFL+ list pricing is $6.99/month or $49.99/year for Basic, and $14.99/month or $99.99/year for Premium (which adds NFL RedZone and full/condensed/All-22 coaches’-film replays). The public preseason 20%-off annual promo brings Premium to about $79.99 and Basic to about $39.99 with no verification. Because the military code and the public sale can’t be combined, verify first, read your revealed code, then compare it to the current public price and take whichever is lower.
If you’re flexible on timing, NFL+ cuts prices deepest in the off-season and around Black Friday — historically as low as $19.99–$29.99/year — which often beats both the public 20% promo and the ID.me code. One more caution: don’t confuse NFL+ with NFL Sunday Ticket. The widely cited "$198 military" price is Sunday Ticket on YouTube, a separate product, not NFL+.
Exclusions & fine print
- One promo code per order — the ID.me military code and the public sale code cannot be combined.
- Promo codes are season-specific; expired or prior-season codes will not redeem.
- Public annual promos generally exclude monthly plans ($6.99 Basic / $14.99 Premium are typically full price).
- The exact military discount percentage is not disclosed until after verification, so any specific "%" quoted by coupon sites is unverified.
- United States only.
