A GUIDE TO STREAMING NFL GAMES

Cable Alternatives for Football Fans

Every year, more and more Americans decide to ditch traditional cable and satellite TV subscriptions in favor of digital streaming services. However, since the cord-cutting phenomenon began, live sports has been the one category of television immune to the digital migration. For a long time, the only comprehensive option for watching NFL games online was through shoddy illegal streams. Today, the situation is much less grim. There are myriad alternatives for getting your football fix. Here are the best in two important categories. I WANT ALL THE GAMES. If you want the option to watch every single NFL game on the schedule, you need access to five networks: CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN, and the NFL Network. PlayStation Vue is the only streaming service that offers all of these networks, but you’ll need to pay a little extra for the NFL Network, and you’ll need a PlayStation 4 to subscribe to the service. If PlayStation Vue isn’t an option, Hulu + Live TV, AT&T TV Now, and YouTube TV all include four of the five, the NFL Network being the only exception. YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE YOUR WEAKEST SECURITY LINK

Deciding between these options comes down to which user experience you prefer and which offers the most secondary benefits. If your kids watch a ton of YouTube, for example, they may enjoy the premium content included with YouTube TV subscriptions. In terms of price, they are pretty similar, ranging from $45 (Hulu + Live TV) to $55 (PlayStation Vue with added NFL Network) per month. Additionally, they all currently offer a free trial, so you can test them out before committing. I WANT TO WATCH MY TEAM. If you only care about watching your favorite squad, you needn’t opt for a comprehensive bundled service. Depending on where you live and which team you want to watch, you can get most of your games via CBS All Access. Fans of NFC teams, whose games air on Fox, will have to turn to Sling Blue, which costs $25 per month compared to CBS’s $6, but it comes with the bonuses of the NFL Network and NFL RedZone.
