Like previous years, its a mess.
Lets run down your other options.
Twitter will also have pre-game Periscope broadcasts and in-game highlights.
Both will give you access to NFL games this season.
Unfortunately, channel availability complicates things a bit.
Sling TVs top-tier $40/month Orange+Blue planis the one you want.
It comes with Fox, NBC, ESPN, and the NFL data pipe.
CBS, however, isnoton Sling TV, so you cant stream games that air on CBS, sadly.
They offer aseven day free trialif you want to give it a test run before committing.
Sling TV alsoadded NFL connection and NFL RedZone this year.
The service streams out-of-market games from non-local teams, without the messy blackout restrictions.
To check your availability, head to theNFL Sunday Ticket pageand type your address.
In my experience,regional blackouts are difficult to predict.
This includes most of Foxs games, NBCs Sunday night games, and ESPNs Monday night games.
Prepare to jump through some hoops to figure out how to stream the games you want.
As confusing as it is, at least there are more options this year.
