Sundays Are for Funday (and NFL on CBS!) with Your Roku
Ah, football season. A time for friends, family, questionable referee calls, and enough chicken wings to feed a small army. But what if you've ditched cable and are staring at your Roku like a confused puppy on game day? Fear not, fellow football fan, for I bring you the glorious gospel of watching CBS NFL games on your Roku.
The All-American Stream Team: Your CBS NFL Roku Options
There are a couple of ways to tackle this touchdown, depending on your budget and cable provider situation. Here's the rundown:
-
Paramount+ on The Roku Channel: That's right, folks, Paramount+ (formerly CBS All Access) has joined the Roku party. You can subscribe to Paramount+ for as low as $5.99 a month (with ads) and gain access to a bunch of CBS shows, including live NFL games. Sweet deal, if you ask me. Just remember, Paramount+ only shows AFC games, so double-check the schedule to see if your favorite team is playing.
-
Live TV Streaming Services: If you crave the full cable experience without the cable bill, then a live TV streaming service might be your best bet. Services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and FuboTV all offer CBS in select markets. These services typically cost more than Paramount+, but they include a bunch of other channels to keep you entertained throughout the week. Do your research to see which service offers CBS in your area and what their current pricing is.
Bonus Tip: The Roku itself has a new Roku Sports section on the home screen. This nifty feature helps you browse upcoming games and see where you can stream them - a handy one-stop shop for the sports fanatic in you!
So You've Got Your Roku Ready to Roll... Now What?
Once you've chosen your champion (Paramount+ or live TV streaming service), downloading the corresponding app on your Roku is a breeze. Just open the Roku Channel Store, search for the app, and hit install. Then, with a quick login (if required), you'll be ready to witness the gridiron glory in all its high definition goodness.
Pro Tip: If you're sharing your Roku with roommates or family members, be sure to snag the remote before kickoff. There's nothing worse than fumbling for the remote during a commercial break and missing that epic touchdown!
There you have it, folks! With these tips, you'll be enjoying CBS NFL games on your Roku in no time. Now get out there, grab some snacks, settle in for some football fun, and fire up that Roku!
