How to watch games online live?

Recommended Posts

I'm usually home watching whatever games are available on Comcast but I'm stuck at work.  I have my laptop but the firewall stopped the site that popped up initially.  

 

Is there an easy and free way to watch the game?  I don't want to pay for a service since I'll rarely use it.

All national telecasts and the local games in your market are free to everybody using the NFL app, I watched some games that way when my TV died last year. I've also been able to use my brother's TV login credentials to get access to NFL Network after I lost that channel. I'm also able to cast that to my TV to watch games on the big screen.

"Free" with your paid cable subscription. No different from the free you get with Verizon.

Just pointing out that people can get access to games on their phones even if they're not on Verizon, it may not be all the same games. It is relevant to the question asked, somebody who wanted to watch a game that was already available in their market, but they're just not home to see it. If I were "stuck at work" last night I could have watched BUF-TEN on my phone which is on Sprint. While visiting my brother in Michigan Sunday I checked the NFL app on my phone thinking maybe I could watch IND-CLE, it was locked into the local games shown there but I did not try logging in using my TV provider to see if I could get the CLE game.

I wasn't disagreeing with you,  just pointing out both of our faux pas in saying it's free. It's only free if you're paying the cable or cellular providers, who have contacts with the NFL in order to provide that service. I just thought it kinda funny that we both said it was free when it's actually not.

Not sure I follow, of course I need to pay for a phone and cell service to use it to stream anything, that includes YouTube videos, but that doesn't mean I'm paying for the video. As for paying the TV provider, only time I recall giving that info was to watch NFL Network games. I would be surprised if I was required to give TV provider info to watch a game on CBS, Fox or NBC.  Maybe for ESPN though since that is not free broadcast TV.

 

I've not done that much with it, but know I did enter TV provider info to get to NFL Network game so maybe it has that and uses it. I may try that and uninstall the app first to try and clear out any saved TV provider info. 

 

Very little is free in life.
