This Fall, you don’t need to watch all the TV dramas. Between #deflategate, Hollywood films about head injuries and the latest misbehaviors, the NFL season promises to be an interesting one. Each week, new dramas unfold – starting with CBS broadcast of the Thursday night matchup to Monday Night
Football. This season promises to be one of the most entertaining the league has experienced so you won’t want to miss a single matchup.
And, thankfully you don’t have to miss a moment of that weekly action if you can follow this Cord Cutter Guide to Watching the 2015/2016 NFL Season.
Broadcast Television – No Cable Required
The bulk of Sunday’s games can be found on your local FOX and CBS affiliate. You can watch the local games for free with an antenna. If you don’t have one already, check out which antenna would be right for you. In particular, check out the Antennas Direct ClearStream Eclipse. The discreet design makes it easy to install. You want to check your local listings to find out when your games will be on.
If you are having trouble getting your local broadcast with your current antenna, give us a call. We can help you.
Thursday Night on Broadcast Too
Unlike in past years, the Thursday Night matchup will be on CBS. That means you can watch it for free over-the-air with an antenna from anywhere in the country. So, check out this Thursday schedule to see when your favorite team will play and get it on the calendar.
Monday Night Football on ESPN
Luckily the King of Sports has acknowledged the cord cutting trend, so there are a myriad of ways to receive ESPN broadcast. The easiest way to stream it is with a $20 subscription to Sling TV. You can download the app to your over-the-top (OTT) box (Roku, Fire TV, XBOX, etc.).
There are also more options if you happen to hold onto a pay-television subscription (or if you have a generous friend with a cable subscription). You can snag the WatchESPN app for a number of mobile devices and OTT boxes.
NFL Apps for the Obsessed Fan
For some of us, there is never enough NFL coverage. If you don’t mind watching the games post-broadcast, you can get NFL GameDay Pass (an app you can download to most devices) for $100. That will get you every single game all season.
For the BEST Picture?
Of course, the BEST way to watch football is with an antenna. We don’t say this just because we are an antenna company. But for the full-HD experience, every man-cave needs to have an antenna routed into the big screen. It is your best chance to see the full drama in uncompressed signal.
