The 2024 season is just getting started, but a few things are already becoming clear. The Chiefs are on a mission. And quarterbacks are still at risk. Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in Thursday night’s game, the third of his career.

So now that we’re back to the Sunday routine of avoiding chores and yelling at TVs, remember that there’s more than one way to catch the action. Here’s how to do it best.

How can I watch NFL games for free even if I don’t live in my area?

The best way to watch network programming on a big screen for free is with a good HD antenna. To ensure you get the most reliable signal, test the antenna in multiple locations around your home.

Can I stream the 2024 NFL games live online if I don’t have a cable subscription?

Yes, and you have multiple choices.

Paramount+

CBS’s streaming service offers a free week-long trial, after which you pay $8 or $13 monthly. (A yearly subscription is now just $30.)

Peacock

NBC’s streaming service gives you access to a variety of games, including all of the upcoming Sunday night games. The monthly fee is $8 or $14, and the service recently did away with its free trial. (Peacock’s free version does not include live sports.)

Disney+

The free trial for Disney’s bundle of Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ is no longer available. You’ll be charged $17/month for all three bundles (or $30/month if you don’t see ads on Hulu).

If you include Live TV in the bundle, the price increases to $77 per month ($90 without ads).

Hulu with live TV

The free trial of this service lasts for three days. After that, it will cost you $77 per month.

YouTube TV

After a free trial, you can expect to pay a monthly fee of $73.

Sling TV

Dish Network’s Sling lower-end “Orange” plan will cost you $40 per month. Add the higher-end “Blue” plan and the cost increases to $55 per month. The seven-day free trial is unfortunately gone.

DirecTV stream

Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow and AT&T TV, this streaming service will cost you $80 a month, up after a free trial. (The NFL Network package will cost you $99 a month.)

Fubo TV

This sports-focused cord-cutting service offers broadcast networks in most markets. There’s a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly fees of $80 and up, depending on the channels you choose.

Can I watch NFL games on Amazon?

Not today. However, Amazon is once again the home of Thursday Night Football, with the exception of Thanksgiving (although there is a game on Black Friday). The first game on Amazon this year is the New England Patriots vs. New York Jets on September 19.

Does the NFL offer viewing packages to watch the games I want?

Three, to be exact.

NFL app

The NFL app lets you stream games that are broadcast locally in your market on Sundays. If you want to watch an “out of market” game, you have two choices.

NFL+

Watch live local and out of market games and (with the premium subscription) replays. You’re looking at $50 per season. ($100 for premium.)

NFL Sunday Ticket

YouTube is once again the home base for this channel. Prices start this year at $73 per month for Sunday Ticket and YouTubeTV or $449 for Sunday Ticket alone (for all out-of-market games this season).
