Cut the Cord and Catch the Pass: How to Stream NFL on CBS with Paramount+
Let's face it, for many of us, Sundays are synonymous with football. The roar of the crowd, the thrill of the touchdown, the questionable referee calls we love to complain about - it's a glorious tradition. But what if you've ditched cable and are feeling a little lost on game day? Fear not, fellow football fan, for there's a solution as smooth as a Roger Staubach spiral: streaming NFL on CBS with Paramount+.
Hold on a Sec, Can I Really Stream My Local CBS Station?
Absolutely! Here's the skinny: Paramount+ offers a live TV option that includes your local CBS affiliate in many markets (but not all, we'll get to that in a minute). This means you can ditch the cable box without sacrificing your Sunday dose of NFL goodness. It's like having a front-row seat to the game, minus the overpriced nachos.
Alright, Alright, You've Got My Attention. How Do I Do This Sorcery?
Glad you asked! Here's the game plan:
-
Sign Up for Paramount+: This is the easy part. Head over to Paramount+ and choose your subscription plan. There's an Essential plan that includes live TV, but if you're a content connoisseur, there are higher tiers with more shows and movies.
-
Check Your Local Listings: Not all heroes wear capes, but some do wear CBS jerseys. Double-check to make sure your local CBS affiliate is included in the Paramount+ live TV lineup. You can usually find this info on the Paramount+ website or app.
-
Kickoff Time! Here comes the fun part. On game day, launch the Paramount+ app (or head to their website) and select the "Live TV" option. Find your local CBS channel and settle in for some primetime pigskin action.
Important Sideline Notes:
- Blackout Blues: Just like with regular TV, there are occasional blackout restrictions. If the game is being broadcast nationally, you might be out of luck. But hey, there's always next week!
- Mobile Magic: You can also stream NFL on CBS with Paramount+ on your mobile device. Perfect for tailgating or, ahem, strategically "working from home" during the game.
So there you have it, folks! With Paramount+, you can keep the Sunday football tradition alive and well, even without cable. Now you can finally focus on what really matters: trash-talking your friends, perfecting your dip recipe, and celebrating those fantasy football points. Who needs cable when you've got touchdowns and touchdowns on demand?
