Paramount+: Your Ticket to the NFL (Well, Local Games Anyway)
Here's the deal: Paramount+ lets you stream your local CBS channel live, which means you can catch all the NFL games that are broadcast on CBS in your area. Think of it as your own personal sports bar, minus the questionable hygiene of the barflies.
Now, before you get all "SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!" in the comments, there's a little wrinkle. You can only stream the games that are broadcasted in your local market. So, if you're a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan stuck in Seattle Seahawks territory, you might be out of luck for some games (although, this might be a blessing in disguise for your mental health).
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
Here's the good news: Paramount+ offers two subscription plans: Essential and Premium. The Essential plan, which is the more budget-friendly option, is all you need to stream your local NFL games. Plus, you get access to a ton of awesome shows and movies to keep you entertained during the off-season.
