How to Watch NFL Games Free + Paid Anywhere

The 2021 NFL preseason is underway along with a decreased three-week schedule leading up to this year’s expanded 18-week regular season. Regular season play will kick off on September 9 with a Thursday night game between the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well. In this article, we are going to talk about How to Watch NFL Games Free + Paid Anywhere. Let’s begin!

NFL games are spread across five primary networks as well: ESPN, NBC, Fox, CBS, and the NFL Network. However, the next Super Bowl will be broadcast on NBC.

How to Watch NFL Games

Well, take the NFL, for instance. If you’re a fan, then you probably know how difficult it is to watch your favorite football team score. That touchdown on a stadium, when grabbing a ticket feels more like a distant memory.

On the bright side, considering past events and how the NFL event schedule was all messed up due to the pandemic. You may be glad to know that from an organizational point of view, things are starting to look good for the 2021-2022 NFL season as well.

NFL games live from home

Although you probably won’t get to buy a ticket for an NFL game and also watch your favorite team this year, you will be able to stream each and every NFL game in the 2021-2022 season from the comfort of your home. We know, it’s not exactly ideal but hey, it’s actually better than watching re-runs or having someone else tell you the score and spoil the outcome of a match as well.

Many sports fans are already familiar along with streaming platforms. However, some of you may even have a favorite website where you guys know for a fact. That you guys can find live streams of all the events you’re interested in. We’re aware that some of these streaming services are free, that is why they instantly gather huge amounts of followers in virtually no time.

Unfortunately, many of these free NFL streaming sources are not legitimate and may also even pose security or privacy risks to those who use them. Moreover, free streaming services also depend on ads, pop-ups, and sketchy paid survey services to generate revenue. And most of them either plaster your screen along with logos and watermarks or are available at sub-par resolutions and buffer like crazy as well.

Further

This is why we’ve compiled a list of official, legitimate streaming sources where you guys can watch NFL games from the 2021-2022 season. Also, without compromising your privacy or security.

If you guys are in the US, things are looking good on your side, when you can find a wide selection of streaming services where you can watch live NFL games without even paying a dime. On the downside, if you’re traveling or you’re simply an NFL fan that actually lives in a different country. Then accessing these streaming platforms from outside the United States may prove to be impossible.

Fortunately, you can also bypass these unfair geographical restrictions through simply using a sturdy VPN service. One that won’t only protect your online privacy, however, will also cloak your physical location. That makes it seem like you’re on US soil.

Stream NFL from outside the US:

• Just purchase a premium VPN subscription plan (we recommend NordVPN)
• Now download the VPN installer executable on your PC
• Install the VPN on your PC and open it
• Log in to your premium VPN account now
• Connect to a US server (choose the one along with the lowest ping)
• Clear your browser’s cookies and also cached data
• Now connect to your favorite NFL live streaming platform

What are the best NFL 2021-2022 streaming platforms?

If you’re tired of watching NFL games on shady streaming platforms that are ridden along with ads, locked behind survey walls, displayed in poor resolutions. Or also buffer like you’re still using dial-up, you may wish to switch to better alternatives.

Note that some of these alternatives are premium services, so you may have to purchase a subscription plan or pay a monthly fee to use them. But, we assure you that you’ll definitely get your money’s worth in terms of streaming quality and service availability as well.

• fuboTV (US)
• Peacock (US)
• Paramount+ (US)
• Amazon Prime Video (US only or abroad with VPN)
• Yahoo! Sports App (US)
• YouTube TV (US)
• USTVnow (all countries)

Tubi TV

Tubi TV is actually a VOD streaming service that’s mainly owned and operated via FOX. The bright side? You can use it to watch FOX’s NFC games on Sundays without even paying a dime, no strings attached, no credit card required.

Yes, this deal is quite particular, and you can only use this platform in order to stream NFC games on Sunday. However, it should be enough if you just want to kick back and relax along with your favorite beverage watching a game of football on a Sunday afternoon.

There is one drawback, though: Tubi TV is actually ad-supported. On the plus side, you’ll be able to use it to stream not only sports events, however, also shows and movies that you may find in its library.

USTV Now

USTV Now is an online streaming service that was designed to permit members of the US military services. As well as citizens who live abroad to watch TV shows in a fast, convenient manner, without even having to pay for cable.

The service offers many plans, and one of them is entirely free for 6 months. But, the free plan only enables you to watch classic movies at any time on any device. The other plans all come along with 10-day free trials and comprise TV shows, movies, and most importantly, sports events as well.

We wouldn’t recommend sticking with this service, because not even paying for the premium subscription plans will give you access to enough NFL games to justify the purchase. USTV Now only comes along with FOX and CBS, and many NFL game content is blacked out.

Amazon Prime Video

If you’re familiar with Amazon Prime, then you probably know that this option isn’t exactly free. Because it needs you to pay a monthly subscription to access its content. But, if you already own an Amazon Prime Video account, then you’re in luck!

It’s also possible to use your Prime Video account to stream Thursday Night Football games without even paying any additional fees. As it turns out, Amazon Prime Video has exclusive rights in order to broadcast Thursday Night Football games in the US starting with the 2021 season.

Moreover, it also has exclusive broadcast rights for one Saturday game. So the deal is really sweet, considering that it comes at no additional costs and that Amazon Prime Video already has a rich library of content, to begin along with.

NFL Game Pass

There’s a good reason why NFL Game Pass is actually the first NFL streaming service that we’ve recommended. It’s actually the best option to stream live games wherever you guys may roam if you’re on US soil or somewhere abroad.

Given that the rights to broadcast many games vary from one company to another. Let alone location, the fact that NFL Game Pass also supports multiple countries is definitely worth mentioning.

For instance, you may be tempted to think that NFL Game Pass also lets you watch live US games to your leisure. Whenever in fact it only offers VOD (Video On Demand) streaming of games, and only after they air, that is really unfair, to begin with.

In the UK and Ireland, the same service offers the same type of service. However, even more limited; some of the games are blacked-out so you guys won’t be able to watch them on this platform, even after they’ve aired as well.

But, in some other countries, also including Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. You can watch all NFL 2021-2022 games live without even any geographical (or otherwise) restrictions. But, you may not afford the luxury to travel to Germany, for instance, just to stream live NFL games actually.

Where to watch NFL games in the US without cable

If you guys live in the US, the homeland of NFL games, that you’ve already won half the battle. Because you won’t have to use a VPN to unblock content that’s reserved exclusively for US residents. For the most part.

On the other hand, NFL game broadcasting rights are not owned via a single entity. That can be problematic since you’ll need access from all these companies if you want to prevent missing any game in the season.

The following entities actually share the rights to broadcast NFL games in the 2021-2022 season:

• NFL Game Pass (use a VPN to unblock live games)
• FOX (NFC Sunday games)
• CBS (AFC Sunday games)
• ESPN (Monday Night Football)
• Amazon Prime Video (Thursday Night Football)
• NBC (Sunday Night Football)
• NFL Network (many games)
• Yahoo! Sports App (primetime and local national broadcasts, only streamable on mobile devices)

Well, many of these options are available through cable, you guys can also pay for online streaming services. So you can access them on a huge variety of devices other than your TV.

Plus, using a streaming service can help you get many of the options listed above. In case you didn’t figure it out by now, our goal is to select a streaming service. That encompasses most, if not all of the options presented in our list above.

Cheaper alternatives to watch NFL 2021-2022 games in the US

We get it, $99 per season could feel a bit much if you were wondering about NFL Game Pass. Not to mention that you’d probably wish to use it in conjunction with a VPN in order to get the most of it and be able to watch live games.

• Amazon Prime (Thursday Night Football) – $8.99 per month
• Paramount+ (AFC games) – $5.99 per month
• Sling Blue (Monday Night Football) – $35 per month
• Tubi TV (NFC games) – Free
• Yahoo! Sports App (local & national games) – Free
• Peacock (Sunday Night Football) – Free/potential $4.99 paywall for NFL games

Therefore, relying on Peacock and if or not they will lock Sunday Night Football games behind a paywall. Then you may end up paying either $49.98 or $54.97 actually

Further.

If you’re not a fan of mixing and matching and really don’t care if you’ll end up missing a game or two. Then you could use one of the services in the list below. We’ve included every service’s minimum monthly price, as well as the NFL broadcasters it also offers for your convenience.

• FuboTV – $54.99 – CBS, NBC, NFL Network, FOX

NFL games in Australia

If you’re an Australian NFL fan and also want to watch your favorite team in the 2021-2022 season. Then your best choice would be purchasing an NFL Game Pass subscription. The cost of this option is actually $249 AUD per year and also offers most NFL games live and the rest of them on actually an on-demand basis along with full replays.

On the plus side, combining NFL Game Pass along with a VPN and accessing it via a supported Eurozone country could also let you watch all the games live. As well as watch replays for all previous games too.

If you’re not such a big NFL fan, then you may want to choose a different option, one that’s absolutely free. We’ve mentioned 7mate above like being a free alternative to paid streaming services where you guys can watch NFL games.

NFL games in Europe

It seems like Europeans have got it best whenever it comes to watching NFL games. The Game Pass permits them to watch both live games and replays of games that already came to an end, and seemingly they don’t really have to use a VPN, either as well.

DAZN is actually without a doubt the best way you could go about it if you are in Europe and wish to watch NFL games live. It only costs €9.99 per month and also includes an NFL Game Pass. That we already know lets you watch NFL games live too.

On the downside, DAZN may also not be available in all European countries. So the best next thing would be signing up for an NFL Game Pass too. There’s good news and bad news; the good news is actually that the price for this option varies via country. So you may be able to save a few bucks as well. The bad news is that many countries may only be able to access replays of the games instead of watching them live.

But, there’s nothing that a reliable VPN can’t fix, so you could try to use a VPN to bypass geographical restrictions and watch live NFL games also even in countries where the Game Pass isn’t fully supported.

NFL games in Canada

Well, as opposed to US residents, Canadians seem to have it better, seeing that they can also purchase NFL Game Pass via making a one-time payment of $74.99.

However, wait, there’s more: this one-time payment brings them access to live NFL games (when opposed to US subscribers, who can only see on-demand reruns of the games after they aired). As well as replays of each game in the season. really nice, right?

But, the best option for Canadian NFL fans would be DAZN. Not only does DAZN come at a cheaper price than the NFL Game Pass, However, it also offers the Game Pass to its subscribers, that means live games in HD quality. DAZN actually costs $20 CAD per month, as opposed to Game Pass’s almost more-than-triple $74.99 price tag.

Another really great option would be TSN Direct, that costs more than DAZN ($24.99 CAD per month). However, also has a standalone streaming app.
