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

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.
