The YouTube TV and Disney blackout is over, and customers should already see Disney's channels—including ESPN—back in their lineups. The resolution comes after two weeks of negotiations, during which Google issued compensation to customers and viewers did their best to find a way to keep up with games.
Depending on how much football you need to watch, YouTube TV's bundle with the NFL Sunday ticket might be enough for you. The company describes it as "the most live NFL games" you can get on a single plan, and now that ESPN and ABC are back on YouTube TV, that's more or less true. Or, if you only want to watch live on Sunday afternoon, you can buy the NFL Sunday Ticket standalone without also subscribing to YouTube TV.
You pretty much only lose out on Thursday Night Football here, but the catch is what is usually a pretty high cost. A standalone NFL Sunday Ticket subscription normally costs $85/month for new customers, or $145/month for returning customers. Bundled costs for new customers are unchanged, although returning customers can save a little bit by bundling Sunday Ticket with a standard YouTube TV subscription ($83/month, or $73/month for the first three months), which will drop the cost to $115/month. Alternatively, opting for a four-month subscription usually lowers the costs to $37.50/month for new customers, and $66/month for returning customers (or $51/month when bundled with YouTube TV). If you want to go all in, you could also opt for an annual season pass, which is $150 for new customers and $264 for returning customers.
If you can afford it and just want a set-it-and-forget it option, YouTube TV with NFL Sunday Ticket are probably your best bets. And while it's not the only way to get it, you can also add NFL Redzone to your subscription, either for an additional $2.50 on your Sunday Ticket price or as part of the $11/month Sports Plus add-on. This will give you live whip-around highlights coverage of all Sunday afternoon games as they air.
Local games and Sunday Night Football on Paramount+ and Peacock
According to the NFL's official "Ways to Watch" page, CBS airs six to seven Sunday daytime games a week, and you can check your local listings for specifics. NBC, meanwhile, hosts Sunday Night Football, which is a marquee primetime game with no competition from other games.
Fox is currently in a similar boat to CBS, allowing users to watch select local daytime games on Sundays, but it has a twist. In addition to offering the games on its own schedule, the network's streaming service, Fox One, also offers a bundle with ESPN. This gives subscribers access to both local Fox games, as well as games aired on ESPN Unlimited. ESPN Unlimited includes Monday Night Football, which could make it a viable solution for people who don't want to get a whole Live TV plan just for Monday night games.
Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime
If you own Amazon Prime, there's at least one weekly primetime game you've got access to. Prime Video is currently the home of Thursday Night Football, which like Monday Night Football and Sunday Night Football, is a marquee game without any conflicts from other games. Because Prime Video is included in Amazon Prime, there's a good chance you've got access to it without knowing, assuming you crave two-day shipping as much as the rest of us. If not, you can sign up for Amazon Prime for $15/month or $139/year, or just subscribe to Prime Video on its own for $9/month.
The most comprehensive of these is ESPN, which offers two streaming plans—ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited. The difference is that ESPN Select only includes content from ESPN+, which is largely made up of lower level, student, or non-football games from channels like ESPN2 or ESPN3. ESPN Unlimited, meanwhile, includes all ESPN content, including larger games from the main channel as well as ESPN+ content, which makes it a suitable way to watch ESPN's own primetime offering, Monday Night Football.
If you'd like access to more than just ESPN content, you can also subscribe to Disney's own live TV service, Hulu + Live TV. This includes all the Disney channels currently available on YouTube TV, as well as other channels, including CBS (local games), NBC (Sunday Night Football and local games), Fox (local games), and NFL Network (more on that later). The big missing piece of the puzzle here is NFL Sunday Ticket. If bought standalone, Hulu + Live TV also does not include on-demand viewing in the ESPN app.
On its own, a month of Disney+ standalone starts at $12, and a month of Hulu standalone costs the same. Bundling these services together increases the price to just $13, so that's likely where you'll want to start. For more reliable sports content, though, you'll want ESPN. A month of ESPN Select is also $13, but for NFL, you'll want to opt for ESPN Unlimited, which has a monthly price of $30.
As for Hulu + Live TV, this is Disney's most expensive option, as it's essentially a cable package. A bundle with Hulu + Live TV, regular Hulu (with ads), Disney+ (with ads), and ESPN Select (with ads) costs $64.99/month for the first three months, which is cheaper than YouTube TV, but increases to $90/month afterwards. You could also subscribe to Hulu + Live TV on its own for $89/month instead, although that's losing out on a lot of extra streaming content just to save a dollar, and does not include the cheaper first three months. To remove ads from Disney+, you can up your bundle price to $95/month, and to remove ads from both Disney+ and Hulu, you can pay $100/month. ESPN Select and Live TV will still have ads, however. To view ESPN Unlimited content in the app, you'll also need to add it on to your Hulu for $30/month (the Hulu + Live TV landing page does advertise ESPN Unlimited app content being included in this bundle, but upon moving to checkout, it'll shift to ESPN Select, and the official chart of plans does not currently have an option with ESPN Unlimited in a bundle with Hulu + Live TV).
What is NFL+?
Likely the cheapest option on this list, NFL+ gives you access to a lot of content for not too much of an investment, but with a pretty serious catch.
Still, if you have a large enough tablet and only want to watch prime time or local games (including Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, and even Sunday daytime games), it's a compelling option. NFL+ also comes with live game audio for every game of the season, ad-free highlights, and a selection of original NFL Films content, all available on PC and TV in addition to phone and tablet. Upgrading to NFL+ Premium will add condensed game replays and gives you access to NFL Redzone (live select coverage of all Sunday afternoon games) as well as the NFL Pro stats service. Replays and Redzone are viewable on PC, TV, phone, and tablet, but NFL Pro is only available on desktop and mobile browsers.
NFL+ costs $7/month (or $50/year) while NFL+ Premium costs $15/month (or $100/year). It's a strong pick if you're most interested in keeping up with stats and big plays, and don't mind being restricted to watching live games on certain devices.
You'll want to check channel loadouts as well as the best options in your area, but in the case of a future content blackout, it's worth pointing out three in particular. That's because DIRECTV, Fubo TV, and Sling are great options if you only need to watch for a short while. Both DIRECTV and Fubo TV offer free trials, with DIRECTV's lasting five days and FUBO TV's lasting seven days. Meanwhile, Sling Orange offers day passes for $5 a pop, if you just need to watch one specific game.
Get a digital antenna
While I personally have had mixed luck getting reception from digital antennae, Lifehacker sister site PCMag has a tested selection of antennae, with costs as low as $25. Just set it and forget it.
