Here’s how to watch every NFL game this season:

Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels. So if you want to watch a game that is on the market, all you have to do is turn on your TV (or set up a digital TV antenna). An NFL+ subscription for $7/month gives you access to the NFL Network, which is great for watching some games, but the downside to NFL+ is that there are only local and primetime games in the regular season (and only on mobile or tablet!). In that case, here’s what we recommend to watch the NFL.

The platform also offers a free trial period, so you can try out some games risk-free. Right now, you can get $20 off any Fubo tier for your first month.
