Duuuval! You Don't Wanna Miss the Jags! How to Catch the Game (Even if You're Hiding from Your In-Laws)
Ah, football season. A time for fridge-raiding dips, questionable life choices regarding clothing (looking at you, giant foam finger), and cheering on your favorite team – the Jacksonville Jaguars! But with so many channels and streaming services these days, figuring out how to actually watch the game can feel like navigating a minefield. Fear not, fellow Duval County diehard (or curious newcomer), for I, your friendly neighborhood guru of gridiron glory, am here to break it all down.
How Can I Watch The Jacksonville Game |
Cable? Cut the Cord? We Got You Covered
There are two main ways to watch the Jags take the field:
Old School Cool (Cable/Satellite): If you're rocking the traditional cable box setup, check the trusty TV schedule (don't worry, remotes still have buttons for that!). The Jags bounce between CBS, FOX, NBC, and sometimes even grace us with their presence on Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime.
Streaming the Dream: For the cord-cutters out there, there are a bunch of streaming services that offer live TV, including the games. Options like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and FuboTV all carry channels that might be showing the Jags. Paramount+ also lets you stream games that are on CBS, but be sure to check your local market to make sure you're not stuck watching a different team battle it out.
Pro Tip: Most of these streaming services offer free trials, so you can snag a temporary Jags fix without breaking the bank. Just remember to cancel before you get charged, unless you also enjoy watching marathons of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" (no judgment here).
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
Important Note: Since the NFL schedule isn't out yet, you won't be able to pinpoint exactly how to watch each game quite yet. But fret not, this guide will be your friend come game day!
Bonus Round: How to Avoid Serious FOMO When Stuck with the Outlaws
Let's be honest, sometimes family gatherings and football don't exactly mix. Fear not, ingenious football fan! Here are a few tips to stay on top of the game even if Uncle Steve's droning on about his stamp collection:
- The trusty smartphone: Download the NFL app to follow the game with live stats, scores, and even highlights.
- The subtle play-by-play: Keep the game on low volume in the background and offer occasional bursts of enthusiastic cheering (just loud enough to seem invested, but not enough to get dragged into a conversation about Uncle Steve's stamp collection).
- The "nature break": Excuse yourself for a "bathroom break" that conveniently coincides with a touchdown.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
