Colts Fan on the Run: Your Guide to Watching the Horseshoe from Anywhere
So, you're a die-hard Colts fan, but fate (or that pesky job transfer) has landed you firmly out-of-market. Fear not, fellow horseshoe fanatic! There are more ways to catch Carson Wentz sling touchdowns than you can say "Andrew Luck retirement press conference" (too soon?). Let's delve into the world of out-of-market Colts viewing, with options for every budget and tech-savviness level.
Cutting the Cord, Not the Fun: Streaming Services to the Rescue
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Forget bulky cable boxes and grumpy customer service reps. The streaming revolution has arrived, offering a buffet of options to devour your Colts fix. Here's a taste of what's on the menu:
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
- NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV: This is the granddaddy of out-of-market solutions. Think of it as an all-you-can-eat Colts buffet, with every single Sunday afternoon game on the table. Just a heads-up, there might be some blackout restrictions, so double-check the schedule.
- Sling TV or FuboTV: These skinny bundles offer a variety of channel packages, often including the major networks like FOX and CBS, which broadcast many Colts games. Plus, you can add NFL RedZone for that sweet, sweet touchdown fix.
- NFL+: This is the NFL's official streaming service, offering out-of-market preseason games, along with live local and primetime regular season and postseason matchups on your phone or tablet. Think of it as your pocket-sized Colts companion.
The Old-Fashioned Way: The Antenna Strikes Back!
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
Believe it or not, that dusty antenna in your attic might be your secret weapon. Depending on your location, you could snag local CBS or FOX broadcasts, which often air Colts games. It's a free and easy option, perfect for the minimalist Colts fan (or those who haven't quite mastered the art of online streaming yet). Just remember, antenna reception can be fickle, so a little trial and error might be required.
QuickTip: A slow read reveals hidden insights.

Bonus Round: The International Intrigue (Use with Caution!)
We're venturing into slightly murky territory here, but some folks have reported success using VPNs (virtual private networks) to access international streaming services that broadcast NFL games. This is a gamble, potentially violating terms of service, and not officially supported. So, proceed with caution, Colts fan on a mission!
