Calling All Xbox Zombies and Football Fanatics: How to Watch NFL+ Without Leaving the Couch
Let's face it, folks, the allure of the couch is strong. You've perfected the art of the remote-wielding, chip-munching touchdown dance. But with the NFL season on the horizon, that cozy haven might suddenly feel like a screen-less wasteland. Fear not, my fellow Xbox warriors, because there's a way to bring the gridiron glory straight to your living room – NFL+.
Now, before you start digging through the cushions for lost controllers (we've all been there), here's a crash course on how to transform your Xbox from a Netflix machine to a football fanatic's paradise.
Step 1: Signing Up for NFL+ (Because Free Trials Are a Beautiful Thing)
Think of this as your pre-game warm-up. Head over to the NFL website and snag yourself a free trial of NFL+. It's like a test drive, but instead of questionable life choices in a used car, you're test-driving access to a world of football goodness.
Pro Tip: Make sure to set a reminder in your phone (unless you have the memory of a goldfish) to cancel the subscription before the free trial ends if you decide NFL+ isn't your jam.
Step 2: Downloading the App (The Key to Unlocking Football Nirvana)
Now that you're officially an NFL+ initiate, it's time to prep your Xbox. Fire up that bad boy, navigate to the Microsoft Store, and search for the NFL app. Downloading it is easier than throwing a perfect spiral (well, almost).
Step 3: Logging In and Settling In (Victory Lap Time!)
With the app downloaded, it's time to unleash the football frenzy. Log in using your shiny new NFL+ credentials, grab your favorite jersey (or that lucky pair of socks you wore during last year's Super Bowl), and get ready to experience the beautiful chaos of the NFL season.
Important Note: Here's where things get a little tricky. While you can watch preseason games live on your Xbox, regular season and postseason games might be restricted to mobile devices for now. However, some sources suggest the NFL+ Premium subscription might allow you to watch these games on your Xbox through NFL Network. Keep an eye out for updates as the season kicks off!
There you have it, folks! With a few clicks and a dash of patience, you'll be well on your way to transforming your Xbox into a football fortress. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with some buffalo wings, a questionable life decision involving a jersey two sizes too small, and the glorious mess that is the NFL season.
