Samsung TV and the NFL App: A Match Made in...Hold On a Second
Ah, football season. The crisp autumn air, the electrifying roar of the crowd, and the constant internal struggle of whether that hot dog was a good idea. And what better way to experience it all than on your glorious Samsung TV? But wait... there's a hitch. You search for the NFL app, heart pounding with anticipation, and...nada. Tumbleweeds. Deflated footballs (too soon?).
Hold your horses (or should we say, thoroughbreds?) Here's the deal: as of today, the official NFL app isn't available on Samsung TVs. That's right, it's like they fumbled the app store download. But fear not, fellow football fanatic! There are still ways to get your pigskin fix on the big screen.

Touchdown Alternative: Mirroring and Casting
Think of your phone or tablet as a mini-Peyton Manning, calling audibles to get the game on your TV. Here's the playbook:
-
Miracast: This is like the hail mary pass of mirroring. If your Samsung TV is a 2014 model or newer, you might have built-in Miracast. Check your TV's manual for instructions (or, you know, Google it). Then, activate screen mirroring on your phone or tablet and fling that sweet NFL app footage onto your TV.
-
Casting: For those with Samsung TVs that don't support Miracast, some streaming services with the NFL app (like Youtube TV or Hulu + Live TV) allow casting. Basically, you open the app on your phone or tablet, tap the cast icon, and - poof! - the game magically appears on your TV.
Game On From Your Gaming Console
Here's where things get interesting. If you're a gamer with a PlayStation, Xbox, or even a Nintendo Switch, you might be in luck. These consoles often have the NFL app available for download. So, dust off your controller, and boot up the app for another way to enjoy the game.
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
But wait, there's a small catch (there's always a catch, isn't there?). You might need a subscription to NFL Game Pass to access all the features within the app on your gaming console.
The Takeaway: It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over (and the App Hopefully Arrives)
While the official NFL app might not be a native resident on Samsung TVs just yet, there are still ways to get your football fix on the big screen. So grab some snacks, settle in, and get ready to cheer on your favorite team. Here's to hoping the NFL app joins the Samsung TV party soon, but until then, these alternative routes will keep the game day spirit alive!
