How to watch every NFL game this season:
Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so catching a game in the market can be as simple as turning on the TV (or adjusting your digital TV antenna). The $7/month NFL+ subscription gives you access to the NFL Network, which can be great for watching some games, but the downside of NFL+ is that when it comes to the regular season, it’s only local and prime-time games (and only on mobile or tablet!). In that case, we suggest you watch the NFL.
