How to Watch Every NFL Game Live Without Cable
Contents
The 2018 NFL season is upon us, and cord-cutters have more ways than ever to watch every game. Here’s how to catch all the action without cable or satellite TV.
Introduction
The NFL season is upon us and if you’re like most football fans, you’re probably wondering how you can watch every game without cable. Luckily, there are a few different ways that you can do this.
One way is to find an over-the-air antenna that will allow you to pick up your local CBS, FOX, or NBC station. This will give you access to most of the games that are being broadcast on those networks.
Another way is to sign up for an online streaming service like Sling TV or DirecTV Now. Both of these services offer packages that include ESPN, which will give you access to a lot of the games that are being broadcast on that network.
Finally, if you really want to make sure that you never miss a game, you can always buy a NFL Game Pass, which will give you access to every single game, no matter where it’s being broadcast.
Sling TV
Sling TV is a great option for NFL fans who want to watch games without cable. You can get Sling TV for as little as $20 per month, and it gives you access to a wide variety of channels, including ESPN, which will air most Monday Night Football games. You can also get NFL Network through Sling TV, which will air Thursday Night Football games, as well as Sunday morning and afternoon games. If you want to watch Sunday night games on NBC, you can add the “Sling Blue” package for an additional $5 per month.
NFL Game Pass
If you’re a diehard football fan, you probably want to find a way to watch every game possible, even if your favorite team isn’t playing. Fortunately, with NFL Game Pass, you can do just that.
NFL Game Pass is a subscription service offered by the NFL that gives you access to live and on-demand games, along with other great features like NFL RedZone,NFL Networklive 24/7, condensed game replays, and more.
It’s an ideal solution for cord-cutters or anyone who wants to watch every game without having to worry about blackouts. In this article, we’ll show you how to sign up for NFL Game Pass and start watching every game of the 2019 season.
