Cable Chaos? No Problem!
Let's face it, untangling the cable box can be a contact sport in itself. But worry not, because there are ways to witness the Raiders dominate the gridiron without wrestling an ancient remote. Here's your breakdown of streaming services that are basically your ticket to the game (minus the questionable nachos):
Streaming Samurai: Services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and FuboTV are your streaming knights in shining armor. They offer a plethora of channels, including the ones that might be showing the Raiders throw down (CBS, FOX, NBC, depending on the schedule). Just remember, these services can cost a pretty penny, so choose wisely, grasshopper.
Appy Days: The Raiders + Allegiant Stadium App might be your secret weapon for preseason games. But be warned, this access is only for in-market fans, so if you're cheering from afar, you might need another option.
Free to Be You and Free to Watch Football (almost!)
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
Okay, so maybe free isn't exactly on the menu, but there are ways to catch the game without breaking the bank:
- Befriend a Buddy with Cable: Is there a friend who bleeds silver and black as much as you do? Maybe they have cable and are willing to share their login information in exchange for, well, your unmatched enthusiasm and perhaps a post-game beer? Just be sure to reciprocate the favor sometime!
- Antenna Up: This might sound old school, but an antenna can actually pull in some channels for free, depending on your location. CBS, FOX, and NBC are sometimes broadcast over the air, so if the game's on one of those networks and you have decent reception, you're golden!
Bonus Round: Avoiding the Spoiler Slog
Let's face it, social media can be a spoiler's paradise on game day. If you can't watch the game live and want to avoid a touchdown-sized text about the final score, here are your best bets:
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
- Silence the Spoilers: Most social media platforms allow you to mute keywords or hashtags. Go ahead, silence the world until you can witness the glorious pigskin battle yourself!
- Go Analog: Read a book, take a walk, or channel your inner artist! Basically, anything that keeps you blissfully unaware of the score until you can actually watch the game.
