If you’re a fan of football, you probably want to know how to watch the NFL. Fortunately, you can tune into your favorite NFL teams via Sling TV, the over-the-top (OTT) cable alternative service.
With Sling TV, you can watch live NFL games as long as you have a healthy internet connection.
Sling TV offers packages with national networks that televise live NFL games, including ESPN, FOX and NBC.
There are three unique Sling TV plans to choose from — Sling Orange ($30/mo.), Sling Blue ($30/mo.), and Sling Orange + Blue ($45/mo.).
ESPN, FOX, NBC, and the NFL Network are split up between the Sling Orange and Sling Blue packages.
If you want the best of both worlds, Sling Orange + Blue is your best bet as it combines both packages.
Sling Blue gives you access to FOX, NBC, and the NFL Network. You can also punch up your subscription with add-ons and extra channels.
For instance, NFL RedZone is a premium channel that will cost you either an extra $10/mo. with Sling Blue or $15/mo. with Sling Orange + Blue.
NFL Redzone is ideal for superfans who follow multiple teams on Sunday and want to be kept up to date on all the games, touchdowns, updates, and breaking news.
While National Football Conference (NFC) games are available on FOX, American Football Conference (AFC) games can be found on CBS.
None of the Sling TV packages offer CBS, which means that you won’t be able to watch any games broadcasting on that network.
However, there are a few workarounds. For example, CBS All Access is a great addition for an extra $5.99/mo.
No matter what NFL team you’re a fan of, there’s a package or channel add-on that will fit your needs. However, not every local market game will be televised on FOX and NBC.
Maybe you’re curious how Sling TV stacks up against some of the other competing cable alternatives out there.
If you wanna spend a little more, AT&T TV NOW ($55/mo.), fuboTV ($55/mo.), Hulu + Live TV ($55/mo.), and YouTube TV ($50/mo.) all provide a more complete experience.
