Kick Off Your Weekend: Stream 'Sunday Night Football' Without Cable!

Ah, the blissful chaos of a Sunday filled to the brim with NFL action. After a glorious afternoon spent glued to the screen, chomping on nachos like a true connoisseur of couch cuisine, what better way to end the weekend than with the pièce de résistance: Sunday Night Football? This week, it’s a battle of the gridiron as the Indianapolis Colts (4-4, bless their hearts) face off against the Minnesota Vikings (5-2, who knew?). Set your timepiece for 5:20 p.m. PT/8:20 p.m. ET on the hallowed airwaves of NBC, where dreams of touchdowns come to life.

If you're looking to join in on the televised thrill ride—or perhaps just avoid all the “getting up from the couch” drama and watch from the comfort of your Netflix-induced stupor—fear not! You can stream this magnificent bout of athleticism in a plethora of ways, both with cable and without. Stick with me here; it’s about to get entertainingly tech-savvy.

Since our Colts-Vikings showdown is gracing NBC, it’s also available to stream via those fancy web-based services. You know the ones; they come with that seductive promise of “free trials.” That’s right, DirecTV Stream, Fubo, and Hulu + Live TV are ready to be your football lifeline. Go on, give Peacock a whirl, the very home of NFL on NBC. Not a subscriber yet? Well, they have an ad-free package for mere pennies at $7.99 monthly (or $79.99 if you’re feeling like a yearly commitment). There’s also the ad-supported option for $13.99. Because who doesn’t want to be serenaded by commercials in between thrilling plays of tackle and turf?

But wait! There’s more! With Peacock, you not only get your football fix but also access to a buffet of distractions, like the questionable reality that is Love Island USA or the thought-provoking masterpiece Oppenheimer. Plus, enjoy over 50 “always-on” streaming channels to keep you entertained when the football action inevitably ends.

If you’re a devoted aficionado of the traditional cable package, DirecTV Stream has you covered. Their packages—not to brag—include more than 90 channels, all while providing a sweet little free trial to dabble with for five whole days. Whether you cancel or keep it, you’ll start your coaching career in style with prices starting at $74.99. Not too shabby!

Perhaps you’re leaning towards Fubo, where—with a subscription beginning at $59.99 monthly—you’ll gain access to over 200 channels. That’s a buffet of entertainment! Enjoy an introductory deal with $30 off your first month and a shiny seven-day trial for new subscribers. It's practically a dream come true for that friend who always thought themselves an NFL guru, but really can name only two players.

And how about a little Hulu + Live TV? Starting at $82.99, you’ll gain access to over 90 live channels—who knew you could watch NFL and then flutter over to a cooking show this easily? Plus, with a three-day trial, you really have no excuse not to indulge.

For those who may wish to channel-surf their way to NFL bliss, Sling is on sale, offering glorious deals for half-off your first month. Starting at $22.50, it’s like the happy hour of streaming—who could resist? The Sling Blue package gives you NBC and the chance to continuously question your life choices with Fox and the NFL Network integrated.

And for the true hardcore NFL fans, may I present NFL+? Starting at just $6.99 a month, it’s the holy grail of all things football. Think of it like a VIP pass to the NFL universe with out-of-market games, radio broadcasts, and every game replay you could ever desire (and a few you might rather forget). The Premium version for $14.99 adds even more goodies as if you needed more reasons to never leave your couch.

If you'd rather bask in the in-person experience, tickets are up for grabs on some popular ticketing sites—just make sure those seat locations don’t come with a second mortgage. StubHub, Ticket Liquidator, and Ticketmaster are all waiting to make your dreams come true, or at least your evening feel incredibly exciting.

But hold the phone! TicketNetwork has discount codes that’ll make your heart skip a beat—$150 off orders of $500! Vivid Seats and SeatGeek have their own nifty deals too, because who doesn’t love saving money on tickets while simultaneously praying the game doesn't come down to a last-second play?

As you immerse yourself in the captivating world of Sundays filled with football madness, everything boils down to one crucial fact: enjoy the game, soak in the laughter, and remember, the real victory is in the snacks.
