Cut the Cord and Catch the Pigskin: How to Watch the NFL on YouTube TV
Forget fumbling with remotes and deciphering cable packages that look like a secret decoder ring convention. Who needs that drama when you can watch the NFL in glorious high definition on YouTube TV? Here's the lowdown on how to ditch the cable guy and become a YouTube TV guru in time for the next kickoff.
Why YouTube TV? It's More Than Just Grumpy Cat Compilations (Although They Are Epic)
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.
- Live TV That Doesn't Play Dead: Catch all the action on channels like FOX, CBS, NBC, and ESPN, depending on your location. Local blackouts? Never heard of her! (Well, maybe you have, but YouTube TV will carry most in-market games.)
- Cloud DVR: Your Shows, Your Schedule: Record all your favorite games without the clutter of a clunky DVR box. Plus, no more fighting over who gets to record "The Bachelor" and the game – YouTube TV lets you have multiple streams going at once. Score!
- App Attack! Stream Anywhere: YouTube TV works on all your favorite devices – phone, tablet, smart TV, you name it. Basically, if it has a screen and Wi-Fi, you can watch football. Just don't try to watch it on your fridge (we tried, it's not recommended).
Alright, Alright, Alright. How Do I Actually Watch the Games?
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
- Sign Up for YouTube TV: This part's pretty easy. Head over to YouTube TV's website, pick your plan, and enter your info. They even offer a free trial, so you can test drive it before you commit.
- Download the App: Search for "YouTube TV" on your device's app store and download it.
- Get Your Game On: Open the app, sign in, and navigate to the "Sports" section. Here, you'll find all the glorious NFL goodness, including upcoming games and replays.
- Channel Surf Like a Pro: Not sure which channel the game is on? Use the handy search bar or browse the channel guide.
Bonus Tip: Feeling fancy? Subscribe to NFL RedZone for an extra fee and get a birds-eye view of all the live games happening around the league on Sundays. It's like having your own personal highlight reel, with way less Michael Bay.
