Cheapest way to Stream NFL games?

[spacescape]

What is everyone using to stream local sports? We wanted to watch the Lions game tonight yet we couldn't find a good inexpensive way to watch it. So, we moved on with life. We have a Roku and kind of gave up. Thank you.

As far as I have been able to find, there is no “cheap” way to stream NFL. But in my market, tonight’s game was on the local Fox affiliate….available over the air or on cable.

Even Sports Bar and a beer is cheaper than any streaming deal you could get.

My daughter got me roped into a family football pool, so I now care about EVERY game, all season long. Now, my relatives have ponied up for cable, a premium package, some kind of NFL+ thing, and Sunday Ticket/Red Zone/something that allows them to watch nine games at once... on a new, larger TV, of course.

So I did the math, and even spending the minimal, I saved more than $700 by watching the games at a local bar (that has 35 screens! It's like a low-rent Buffalo Wild Wings).

And that math included a couple of beers (preferably from whichever city I'm rooting for), a bacon burger, and the half order of tater tots that's more than I can finish.

I bought a Vsee 3 Pro Android TV box from Amazon. Has everything. ~$300…

From here on out, everything should be available OTA and may be available on each network's respective streaming service (i.e. Peacock for NBC, Paramount+ for CBS).

The Fox Championship game isn't showing a streaming option, although Fox will be streaming the SuperBowl for free on Tubi. I wonder if the Fox Championship game will be updated to be streamed on Hulu or Tubi.

For the regular season, if you want to watch any game live, Sunday Ticket is pretty much the only game in town. If you don't need to watch live, then NFL+ Premium https://id.nfl.com/subscriptions/select/nflplus. You can start watching full games immediately afterwards, and condensed games a few hours after the game. I don't care about live games since I only follow one team, so I pay for NFL+ Premium monthly for the stretches when my team isn't on a local station here.

Guess I could locate the antenna in the attic... LOL.
