Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels. So if you want to watch a game that is on the market, all you have to do is turn on your TV (or set up a digital TV antenna). An NFL+ subscription for $7/month gives you access to the NFL Network, which is great for watching some games, but the downside to NFL+ is that there are only local and primetime games in the regular season (and only on mobile or tablet!). In that case, here’s what we recommend to watch the NFL.
