Check the NFL schedule
To find out who is playing in the NFL tonight, check the NFL schedule. The NFL schedule is typically released in April, and it includes the date and time of every NFL game for the upcoming season. You can find the NFL schedule on the NFL website, or you can check your local listings.
See which teams are playing
On any given Sunday during the NFL regular season, there are usually 14 or 15 games taking place. But figuring out which ones are on TV in your area can be tough — especially if you don’t have cable.
Fortunately, there are a few ways you can stream NFL games without cable. And we’ve put together a comprehensive guide on how to do just that.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the NFL without cable:
1. If you live in the United States, sign up for a free trial of one of these live TV streaming services:
Hulu with Live TV: Offers CBS, FOX, NBC and ESPN
Sling TV: Offers FOX and NBC (in select markets)
CBS All Access: Offers live streams of local CBS affiliates in select markets
NFL Sunday Ticket (U.S. only): Offers live streams of out-of-market NFL games, but it’s pretty pricey
2. If you live outside the United States, sign up for one of these NFL streaming services:
Game Pass International: Offers on-demand replays of every NFL game
DAZN: Offers live streams of select NFL games in Canada and Europe
3. Download the Yahoo Sports app or the official app of your favorite NFL team. Both apps offer live streams of in-market and out-of-market preseason games, as well as Thursday Night Football, Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football. (Note: The Yahoo Sports app is free; the official team apps usually require a paid subscription to watch regular season games.)
Determine what time the game is
To find out what time the game is, you will need to look at the NFL schedule. The NFL schedule is divided into four quarters, each quarter corresponding to a different time of day. The first quarter of the NFL schedule is for games that start at 1:00 pm EST, the second quarter of the NFL schedule is for games that start at 4:05 pm EST, the third quarter of the NFL schedule is for games that start at 8:20 pm EST, and the fourth quarter of the NFL schedule is for games that start at 8:30 pm EST.
Check what channel the game is on
Before you settle in for some football tonight, you’ll want to know what channel the game is on. You can find that information a few different ways:
– Look at the NFL schedule for tonight’s games, which you can find online or in a printable PDF. The schedule will list the time and network for each game.
– Check your local TV listings. Most TV providers will have a grid listing all the channels and their programming for the day. Find the time slot for the game you want to watch, and see what channel it’s on.
– Use a TV guide app like TV Guide or Zap2It. These apps are available for smartphones and tablets, and they’ll show you what’s playing on all the channels in your area.
