Watch NFL Live Without Cable Subscription

Watch NFL Live

With the new football season just around the corner and the cable provider’s ever-increasing fees on their services, many sports fans have started looking for alternative ways to watch their favorite teams play.

While it may seem that a cable subscription is the only thing that will let us watch all seasonal games without interruption, if we dig a little bit we will find multiple ways to get access to sports content and watch NFL live.

Take note that all the methods that will be mentioned are completely legal and safe for the user.

There are services online that will allow you to watch NFL live, for free, but in most cases, those services are packed with adware and pop-up ads in the best case scenario and people looking to steal personal information or spread malicious software in the worst.

Sling TV

On August 3rd NFL announced that they partnered up with Sling TV. The NFL was in a dispute with Dish (Sling TV’s parent company), but they manage to make a deal.

This arrangement allows Sling TV’s users to watch NFL live events on Thursday nights for the entire season.

There is one tricky part to using Sling TV for streaming NFL which lies in the fact that their packages are somewhat difficult to understand.

Specifically, the NFL Network and the ESPN are separated into two different packages (the Sling Blue and Sling Orange packages) and anyone who wants the coverage of all the night games will have to get both.

Sling Orange costs $20 per month, and Sling Blue costs $25 per month, but luckily there is a discount for those who opt for this option which will save them $5.

They can, in turn, use the money they saved to pay for Sports Extra add-on which will allow them to gain access to NFL RedZone as well. This is definitely a good way for NFL to reach young audiences that watch TV over the internet.

Verizon wireless app

Verizon recently announced their customers will be able to watch Monday night matches along with Thursday night matches using More Everything Plan without additional costs.

Their users can also watch NFL live matches without cable on their mobile devices using Verizon Wireless App.

By using this app, NFL fans will be able to watch:

• 2016 regular season games
• NFL play off games
• Super Bowl
• Pro Bowl
• Super Bowl LI
• NFL Network 24/7
• NFL Red Zone (subscription required)
• Replay every game

With this excellent app, fans can also browse NFL-related news, videos, season highlights, and statistics.

NFL Game Pass

Use your NFL Game Pass to watch games online using a seven-day free trial. This package allows its users to stream all 256 NFL games and/or watch it on demand.

Needless to say, all the games are in high definition, whether they are live stream or on-demand, and you can watch them on multiple devices.

The other significant advantage of this app is that you can watch the game commercials free, so if you are busy and short of time, this will come in handy.

Also, if you are an iOS user you can download a game on your mobile device and watch it later offline.

The one downside to NFL Game Pass is that users from the US cannot watch the games live as they unfold.

The games are made available only after the final whistle of the last Sunday Night game has been sounded.

Fortunately, there is a way to go around this, and it is actually quite a simple one at that.

SmartDNS

For this annoying problem there is a simple solution – trick NFL servers that you are in the U.K. If you want to do this you need to use a SmartDNS or VPN.

This strategy works quite well, and you will be able to watch NFL live without blackouts and get NFL GamePass at the lowest price.

Needless to say, SmartDNS and VPN are completely legal in the U.S.

How to set up StrongDNS SmartDNS to watch NFL live matches without blackout in the U.S.?

First, you have to sign up for a SmartDNS service.

We recommend StrongDNS SmartDNS.

StrongDNS is basically a free Smart DNS service that comes free with StrongVPN.

Yes.

You get two services for the price of one.

Their set up is really simple and they are cheap.

Once you do that everything else is self-explanatory, and you will be good to go, but just in case here is the tutorial how to unblock NFL game pass:

• First thing you need to do is to create an account with Smart DNS Proxy to mask or hide your IP address. Select either U.K or Australia as you will get the cheapest price for NFL GamePass when signing up, Canada has the most expensive sign up price in the world.
• Then you have to create your account with NFL Game Pass and choose subscription package (this is actually not for free, and the price varies depending on the package you choose)

After you complete these two steps, the only thing left to do is to sit down and enjoy the game.

With a VPN

You can also use a VPN to spoof your IP address and appear that you are in a different country to get you NFL GamePass at the cheapest price and without blackouts.

The VPN solution is perfect for those of you that will watch Football on multiple different devices and at different places.

So if you are one of those guys that won’t miss a game and you will watch the Football on your phone in the car on the way out, or watch the game in your office when working late or even want to take the game to a friends house then a VPN is the way to go.

By signing up for a VPN subscription you can install the app on multiple different devices and use them anywhere you want, not just at home.

If you are looking for a VPN for streaming the NFL then you can’t really go past IPVanish. They have a great price, they are simplest to install and use and most importantly they are the fastest VPN so when you are streaming the NFL you won’t have any lagging or buffering.

NOW TV

For people wanting to watch NFL from the UK, there is the option of subscribing to NOW TV.

This is an online streaming platform that gives access to all Sky Sports channels.

Its subscribers will be able to watch over 100 NFL games over the course of the season.

They offer several different subscription plans which are Day Pass for£6.99, Week Pass for £10.99, or a Month Pass for £31.99.

Over-the-air-antenna

Over-the-air antenna is also a cheap method because you can buy an indoor antenna for 15$. Additional equipment that you might need includes coaxial input for your TV and analog to digital conversion box (if your TV was manufactured prior to the 2009 digital TV transition, if this is not the case you are all set up).

This is definitely the best way to say Goodbye to your cable provider.

Another good thing about this method is that the signal used to transmit NFL over the air is much less compressed than the one used for cable TV, usually resulting in a clearer picture.

This is the reason that some people prefer watching NFL over air despite having access to cable.

PlayStation Vue

By subscribing to PlayStation Vue you get all the same coverage options, you get by using Sling.

All you need to do is visit Sony’s PlayStation plan page and enter your zip code.

There you can see what you can get by using this service.

If you want to subscribe to NFL Red Zone, you will have to pay additional $39.99.

Twitter

Twitter has bought the privilege to stream 10 Thursday night NFL matches.

The other good news is that you can use this platform from every device you have for free.

Getting access to someone’s cable login

For those who are all out of ideas or options, there is always the possibility to gain access to someone else’s cable login, with their permission or otherwise. With this method, you will be able to watch every NFL event.

Is this method legal? Not quite. Is it moral? Definitely not! The other thing you can do is borrow login from a friend or make a deal with your family member.

Streaming

This is the most common way to watch NFL live matches for free.

There are many streaming websites, and they can easily be found online, but this might be risky because most of the time these websites are not reliable.

If you want to watch your favorite team this way, pop up blocker is a must have! The quality of stream varies from excellent to very bad so don’t get too excited.

Some networks like CBS, FOX or NBC provide their viewers free HD game stream without subscribing.

You should also be aware that many of these sites can have a tendency to spread malicious software.

Even if the owners of the site are not aware of it, the site might be infected and could spread the infection to your computer if you are not careful where you are clicking.

Yahoo

Yahoo has also paid for the right to stream NFL games this whole season. This is definitely good news for the fans.

College discount

Not quite for free, but if you are a college student and also an NFL fan you can get four months subscription for Direct TV 50% off.

Subscribe to Aereo

Aereo is something like an antenna alternative. It allows you to get network channels using internet connection which includes NFL Network channels.

The main question is, do you have good and constant internet connection? If the answer is yes, then this method will allow you to watch NFL live easily and without too much hassle.

Aereo also has DVR option which means you can rewind, pause or record the game and watch it later.

This method is not actually free, but 8$ a month is very reasonable price for a good quality video. There are no start-up costs, and the installation is completely free.

Conclusion

There are many different options for people who are fans of NFL and don’t want to pay their cable provider’s extortionate prices.

Most of these solutions require a little bit of tinkering but are really easy to set up none the less.

And with the rise of new streaming technologies and better video quality, it is only a matter of time before TV becomes a thing of the past.
