Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as
turning on your TV
(or
setting up a digital TV antenna
). A $7/month
subscription to NFL+
will get you access to NFL Network which can be great for watching
some
games, but the downside of NFL+ is that when it comes to the regular season, it’s just local and primetime games (and only on mobile or tablet!). In which case, here’s what we recommend to watch the NFL.
