Watch NFL Games Without Cable – 2017

Published October 1, 2017 · Updated May 6, 2020

Here’s the breakdown on how to watch NFL games without cable – 2017.

Free With An Antenna

The easiest way to watch FREE football on Sunday is by using a regular OTA (over-the-air) TV antenna to receive local High-Definition digital broadcast signals.

FOX & CBS are the primary channels that broadcast NFL Sunday daytime games to your OTA TV antenna.

NBC broadcasts Sunday Night Football games to your OTA TV antenna.

Paid Streaming Services

Sling TV (Blue) shows some Sunday Football games on FOX and NBC. Sling TV does NOT show any CBS games. You will need to check each week for local availability to see what football games will show in your area. Check local availability of football games on Sling TV.

If you use Sling TV (Blue) to watch FOX and NBC football games, you can watch CBS football games by adding the streaming service CBS All Access. CBS All Access streams any NFL game covered by CBS. You will need to see if CBS All Access is streaming live TV to YOUR area. Check to see if CBS All Access allows the CBS Live Stream in your area by checking availability with the Stream Live TV 24/7 tool.

DirecTV Now is expanding their local FOX, CBS, and NBC channels. Check to see if your local channels are available using the DirecTV Now Channel Lookup Tool.

Monday Night Football

Monday Night Football (MNF) remains solely with ESPN and available on the following streaming services:
