How To Watch The Nfl Games Without Cable
Okay, let's be honest. Cable is basically the dinosaur of entertainment, right? We all know it. We just whisper it.
I'm here to shout it! Cable is OVER. And more importantly, you don't need it to watch the NFL.
Streaming Services: Your New Best Friend
First up, the streamers! These guys are the MVPs of the cord-cutting game. Netflix might have Tiger King, but these platforms have football.
Must Read
Think about services like FuboTV, YouTube TV, or even Hulu + Live TV. They're like cable, but cooler. And arguably, less expensive.
They often have the major networks (CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN) which means access to almost all the NFL games. Check your local listings, though!
Don't Forget the Freebies (Shhh!)
Alright, time for my unpopular opinion. Remember the good old days of… antenna TV?
Seriously! Dust off that attic antenna, or buy a new one for like, twenty bucks. You'd be amazed at what you can pick up for FREE. Local channels are your secret weapon.
Sunday afternoon games on CBS and Fox? Boom! Yours. For the price of… an antenna. Total steal, am I right?
Amazon Prime Video: Thursday Night Lights
Amazon Prime isn't just for getting that avocado slicer delivered in two days. They have Thursday Night Football!
This means you can watch your favorite team lose (or hopefully win!) while simultaneously online shopping. Multitasking at its finest.
Just another reason to justify that Prime membership. Though, let's be real, you already have one.
NFL+: The League's Own Play
Did you know the NFL itself has a streaming service? It's called NFL+. It's not the whole enchilada, but has some benefits.
You can watch live local and primetime games on your phone or tablet! Perfect if you're, say, stuck at your Great Aunt Mildred's during the game.
Consider it a crucial play to save you from her endless stories about her prize-winning begonias. Worth every penny.
The Not-So-Legal Options (Proceed With Caution!)
Okay, I'm obligated to say: I don't endorse illegal streaming. But… they exist. I'm just saying.
These shady sites can be tempting but remember there are risks involved. Malware and buffering issues are big deal breakers.
Plus, you’re potentially stealing content from the NFL, who definitely have enough money. So, maybe stick to the legit options?
Game Day Strategy: Mix and Match!
The best way to watch the NFL without cable? Combine these methods! It's like building your own fantasy football team, but for viewing.
Antenna for local games, a streaming service for everything else, and maybe Amazon Prime for those Thursday night matchups. You are set!
So ditch the cable bill, grab some snacks, and get ready for some football. It's game time, baby!
Remember, the most important thing is cheering on your team. Even if they are losing terribly. Which, let's face it, is probably happening.
