This year’s NFL preseason was a chance for teams to get used to the new rules and for the league to see what works and what doesn’t. But this is the last weekend for testing.

After Sunday night’s game, the league and teams will have just under two weeks to make adjustments before the regular season begins. That probably means you won’t see many star players on the court this week (and if you do, not for very long), but you can start to get a better idea of ​​the directions the coaches plan to take their teams. the following months.

The Colts and Bears won their games on Thursday, defeating the Bengals and Chiefs, respectively. Here’s how to best catch the action for the rest of the weekend.

How can I watch NFL games for free even if I’m not in the market?

The best way to watch any kind of network programming for free on a big screen is with a good HD antenna. And if a local team is playing, there’s a good chance that CBS, Fox or NBC will air the game. To make sure you’re getting the most reliable signal, be sure to test the antenna in multiple locations around your home.

Can I live stream NFL games online if I don’t have a cable subscription?

You certainly can. There are several options, though not all will work for this week’s games:

Peacock

NBC’s streaming service will give you access to more games, including all upcoming Sunday night games. You can get a seven-day free trial, followed by a monthly fee of $8 or $14. (The free version of Peacock does not include live sports.)

Disney+

Disney’s Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ bundle no longer has a free trial, so you’ll have to pay $15 a month for all three combined (or $25 a month for no ads on Hulu).

Hulu with Live TV

The free trial of this service is no longer offered. It will now cost you $77 per month.

YouTubeTV

After a free trial, you can expect monthly fees of $73.

Sling TV

Dish Network’s “Orange” Sling plan will cost you $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan increases the cost to $55 per month. The seven-day free trial is gone, unfortunately.

DirecTV Stream

Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow and AT&T TV, this oft-renamed streaming service will run you $80 a month or more after the free trial option. (The package that includes NFL Network will run you $99 a month.)

Fubo TV

This sports-focused cord-cutting service offers broadcast networks in most markets. There’s a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly fees of $80 and up, depending on the channels you choose.

Can I watch NFL games on Amazon?

Not just yet. Amazon once again has exclusive rights to Thursday Night Football, but no preseason games will air on the streaming service, nor will any Week One games of the regular season. And like last year, it will have no game on Thanksgiving, although it will be on Black Friday. The first matchup on Amazon this year will be the Buffalo Bills taking on the Miami Dolphins on September 12th.

Does the NFL offer any viewing packages to watch the games I want?

A trio of them.

The NFL app

The The NFL app will allow you to stream the games that are being broadcast locally in your market on Sundays. If you want to watch an “out-of-market” game, you have two options.

NFL+

Watch live local and out-of-market games and (with premium membership) replays. You are looking at a fee of $50 per season. ($100 for premium.)

NFL Sunday Ticket

YouTube is once again the home for this channel. Prices this year start at $73 per month for Sunday Ticket and YouTubeTV or $449 for Sunday Ticket (covering all out-of-market games this season).

What is this new starting rule about?

The NFL is trying a year-long experiment this season, putting all members of the kicking and receiving teams (except punters and returners) in a 10-yard zone downfield. Only the kicker and two returners will be allowed to move until the ball hits the ground or is touched by a returner inside the 20.

Kicks that reach the end zone in the air can be returned or taken as a touchback and possession at the 30. If a ball hits the ground (or a player) before the end zone and enters the end zone, the touchback will be at the 20 .The kick can also be returned.

Meanwhile, onside kicks can no longer be surprises, as the latter team will have to declare plans to attempt one β€” and only in the fourth quarter.

The idea is to make the starts more exciting, but there are some issues to be solved.
