| How Can I Watch The Detroit Lions Game On Sunday |
Cable? Streaming? Carrier Pigeon? Your Options for Lions Glory
There are more ways to watch the Lions these days than Barry Sanders had juke moves (which is saying something). Let's break it down:
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
Channel Surfing Champions: Die-hard cable holdovers, this one's for you. The Lions will most likely be on either CBS, FOX, or NBC, depending on the opponent and the whims of the NFL broadcast gods. Pro Tip: Brush up on your channel memorization skills, because flipping through static in a panic is a time-honored tradition.
Cord Cutters, Unite!: Streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and FuboTV all offer live TV packages that include these channels. Just remember, you gotta have a subscription to cheer on the Honolulu of the North.
Tech-Savvy Lions Fanatics: The NFL offers its own streaming service, NFL+, which shows in-market and primetime games. But there's a catch (there's always a catch, isn't there?): it won't show out-of-market games. So, if you're a Lions fan who, for some reason, doesn't live in Detroit, you might be out of luck... unless...
The NFL Sunday Ticket Shuffle: NFL Sunday Ticket, now available on YouTube and YouTube TV, is your golden ticket (well, for a hefty monthly fee) to watch ANY out-of-market NFL game. Lions fans in Alaska, rejoice!
Bonus Round: How to Enhance Your Lions Game Viewing Experience (Because Let's Be Honest, the Game Might Be a Sweatfest)
- Surround yourself with fellow Detroit diehards. Misery (or maybe unexpected victory!) loves company.
- Prepare a feast fit for Honolulu Fritz. Hot dogs, chili cheese fries, questionable dip – the greasier, the better.
- Have a healthy supply of antacids and tissues. You'll need them both, regardless of the score.
