How can I watch NFL Games without cable?
If you are a cord-cutter or want to watch NFL games without a traditional cable subscription. Below are some options you might consider.
Use Your Antenna
An over-the-air (OTA) antenna is a great way to catch local NFL games broadcast on channels like CBS, FOX, NBC, and even ABC in some cases.
With a one-time investment in a good antenna, you can enjoy NFL games in high definition without a monthly subscription. Brands like the Mohu Leaf offer wide-ranging antennas that can pick up signals from up to 60 miles away.
Use a Live TV Streaming Service
You can watch NFL games without cable by using live TV streaming services. Some good options are FuboTV, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and DirecTV Stream.
Want to watch Sunday games that aren’t shown in your area? You’ll need the YouTube TV Sunday Ticket plan for that.
NFL+
NFL+ is a simple way for football fans in the U.S. to stream games. It has two plans.
The basic plan costs $6.99 per month or $49.99 for the season. It lets you watch live local and primetime games on your phone or tablet. You also get live preseason games, full game audio, NFL Network, ad-free highlights, and access to NFL shows on demand.
NFL+ Premium costs $14.99 per month or $99.99 for the season. It includes everything from the basic plan, plus NFL RedZone, full and condensed game replays, All-22 coaches film, and deeper game analysis.
You can watch preseason games and replays on smart TVs and computers. But live regular season and playoff games only work on mobile and tablet.
