Following a 2020 season that was at once totally unpredictable (thanks to COVID-19) and eerily familiar (thanks to Tom Brady winning yet another championship), this year’s NFL campaign should be better than the last, if for no other reason than fans will be there in person to see the games (hopefully). 

With our flexible packages and pricing, Sling TV has as little or as much NFL football as you want. To help you better understand your options, here’s a handy, fan-focused guide on how to watch the NFL on Sling this fall. Sign up for Orange + Blue using the link at the bottom of the page. 

NFC Fans of their Local Team

If you cheer for your hometown team and they play in the NFC, Sling is easily the most cost-effective way to watch nearly every game. That’s because FOX, which carries the majority of NFC games, is FREE for Sling Blue subscribers in 14 of 16 NFC markets (New Orleans and Charlotte are the only NFC markets without a local FOX affiliate on Sling). What’s more, local NBC channels are included with Sling Blue in seven additional NFC markets (including all four NFC East markets), which means you’ll get the big Sunday Night Football game included as well (plus Super Bowl LVI). Sling Blue also includes NFL Network, the exclusive home of every Thursday Night Football game. 

Sling Blue starts at just $10 for your first month, $35 thereafter. If you add our Sports Extras pack with NFL RedZone From NFL Network, most NFC fans can watch nearly all of their games— plus non-stop commercial-free NFL football for seven hours every Sunday for 18 weeks—for a total of $159 for the entire four-month regular season. You won’t find a better price to stream live football this season (trust us, we checked).

AFC Fans of the Local Team

Because CBS has the broadcast rights to most AFC games, you may want to consider signing up for the Paramount+ streaming service to watch your local team. However, if you use an HD Antenna to watch local channels, you can get all the games in your market by subscribing to Sling Orange + Blue, which is now just $20 for your first month, $50 thereafter. That’s every single regular season NFL game in your city, plus Monday Night Football on ESPN and the Thursday games, for less than $45 a month; if you think you can beat this deal, go ahead and search for it, we’ll wait for you here.

Out-of-market Fans

Of course, many NFL fans don’t cheer for the team in the city where they reside (if that city even has a team). Although there’s only one way to stream all of your team’s games, Orange + Blue with Sports Extras will get you reasonably close. With this $15 package added on, you’ll get RedZone and every other sports channel available on Sling (including college football networks like SEC Network, B1G Network, and more), plus all of the entertainment channels on Sling Orange + Blue, for a total of $230 for this entire season. That’s an average of less than $58 per month, an unbeatable value for streaming.*

So whether you just want to watch the big games or you’re a fantasy football obsessive who’s looking to catch all of the action, Sling has the most flexibility and the best value for the upcoming NFL season.
