these five live TV streaming services
0:02
made big changes ahead of the 2023 NFL
0:05
season so which one is best for you
0:07
today I've got all the updates let's
0:09
start with YouTube TV and after a price
0:12
hike in March 2023 the base plan costs
0:15
72.99 a month it's got more than a
0:17
hundred channels including those most
0:19
important to NFL fans your local CBS and
0:23
fox for Sunday afternoon games your
0:25
local NBC first Sunday Night Football
0:28
your local ABC and ESPN for Monday Night
0:32
Football an NFL Network for select
0:34
preseason and regular season games
0:36
remember when your local team is playing
0:38
those games will air on one of the
0:41
broadcast TV networks if you don't have
0:43
an antenna live TV services like YouTube
0:46
TV are a good option for locals and
0:49
aside from the channel lineup YouTube TV
0:51
is my number one pick for NFL fans
0:53
because of its features and that
0:55
includes multi-view new for 2023 this
0:58
will let you watch up to four games at
1:00
once YouTube TV is the new home for NFL
1:03
Sunday Ticket this is a premium service
1:05
and it gets you out of Market Sunday
1:07
afternoon games Sunday Ticket is also
1:10
available from YouTube without a YouTube
1:12
TV subscription YouTube TV subscribers
1:15
get the best deal for NFL Sunday Ticket
1:17
but it's still gonna cost you a few
1:19
hundred bucks for the season now because
1:21
of that price you may want to consider
1:23
NFL RedZone Instead This is another
1:25
premium service great for Fantasy
1:28
Football it shows all the touchdowns for
1:30
out of Market Sunday afternoon games
1:32
RedZone is part of YouTube TV sports
1:34
plus add-on 1099 a month let's talk
1:36
about DirecTV stream now this service
1:38
starts at 75 bucks a month but its most
1:41
popular plan with regional Sports
1:43
networks is a hundred bucks a month
1:45
fortunately Regional Sports networks not
1:47
needed for NFL games DirecTV stream has
1:50
added a new sports pack this one
1:52
includes NFL Network and NFL RedZone
1:54
which it didn't previously offer so that
1:57
means all five of the live TV services
1:59
I'm going to talk about today offer
2:01
those networks if you are considering
2:03
this service know that DirecTV stream is
2:06
not the same as DirecTV via internet
2:09
DirecTV stream is the one you want for
2:11
no contracts or hidden fees Hulu live is
2:14
up next and this service's starting
2:15
price increases to 76.99 in October
2:19
2023. that's an increase from 69.99 Hulu
2:23
Live's channel lineup is similar but not
2:25
identical to YouTube TV the main
2:27
advantage this service has is that it
2:29
includes the Disney bundle at no
2:31
additional charge and the Disney bundle
2:33
has ESPN plus that service has one
2:36
exclusive NFL game this season moving on
2:39
to fubo and this service also increased
2:41
its prices since last NFL season the
2:44
cheapest plan is 74.99 a month plus a
2:47
mandatory Regional Sports fee in most
2:50
locations fubo recently brought back its
2:53
ultimate plan that one includes NFL
2:55
RedZone but if you prefer a different
2:57
fubo plan you can still add NFL Redzone
2:59
down it's part of the Sports Plus add-on
3:02
and that'll cost you 10.99 a month
3:04
fugo's channel lineup is solid for NFL
3:06
fans although it has some pretty big
3:08
gaps that may affect other content you
3:10
like to watch specifically Turner
3:13
Network's TNT and TBS not carried at
3:16
recording time like YouTube TV fubo has
3:18
a multi-view feature it actually had it
3:20
first the difference is you're going to
3:22
need an Apple TV device to take
3:24
advantage of it but fubo's version is
3:26
fully customizable and lets you watch up
3:28
to four live channels at once sling TV
3:31
has made some changes of its own now
3:33
this service can work for NFL fans but
3:36
you will need to get an antenna or
3:38
multiple apps back in March 2023 sling
3:41
added local ABC stations in eight
3:43
markets the service already offered Fox
3:46
and NBC but only in select markets where
3:50
there are owned and operated stations no
3:52
CBS Local stations are offered with
3:55
sling so for that reason I typically
3:57
recommend sling TV for those who can
3:59
pick up their or local stations with an
4:01
antenna but there are a couple
4:03
workarounds Paramount plus offers the
4:05
NFL on CBS with its essential plan and
4:08
24 7 access to your local CBS station
4:11
with its Premium plan and meanwhile
4:13
peacock is set up in a similar way for
4:15
NBC sling TV has two base plans not one
4:18
ESPN is included in the orange plan well
4:21
NFL Network and any local stations are
4:24
in the blue plan these plans are 40 a
4:27
month each you can combine them and pay
4:29
55 dollars a month at recording time for
4:32
those who know they want sling and
4:33
they're okay with these compromises you
4:36
can save a lot with sling season pass
4:38
these deals require you to pay for five
4:40
months of service up front signing up
4:43
for a live TV streaming service with all
4:45
your locals is going to give you access
4:47
to most NFL games but not all for
4:50
example except when your local team is
4:52
playing you're gonna find Thursday night
4:54
football games on Amazon Prime these
4:57
games also stream free on Twitch I'm
4:59
mentioned the ESPN plus exclusive game
5:01
earlier in this video that one's in week
5:04
four part of the NFL's International
5:06
series peacock is getting an exclusive
5:09
regular season game in December and a
5:11
few weeks after that peacock will have
5:13
an exclusive wild card playoff game
5:15
that's on Saturday January 13th these
5:18
peacock exclusives will air on NBC but
5:21
only in the two competing team cities
5:24
this video has focused mostly on live TV
5:27
streaming services that let you watch on
5:29
all your devices so that's TV sets
5:31
phones and computers but if you watch
5:33
football primarily on a mobile device
5:36
NFL plus well yeah that's a cheaper
5:38
option with this service you're going to
5:40
get live local and Prime Time Regular
5:42
and postseason games on phones and
5:45
tablets but not TV sets and new for the
5:48
2023 season NFL plus includes NFL
5:51
Network across all devices and NFL
5:54
RedZone with the NFL Plus premium plan
5:57
these plans between 699 and 14 1899 per
6:00
month bottom line local stations matter
6:03
most for NFL fans if you don't have an
6:06
antenna live TV streaming services are
6:09
the best option we've got to get your
6:11
local ABC CBS FOX and NBC unfortunately
6:15
there's no 20 a month streaming service
6:17
for only your local stations four of the
6:20
five live TV services I talked about
6:22
today are priced around 75 bucks a month
6:24
for their base plans and of those I
6:27
think that Youtube tv offers the best
6:29
value a solid channel lineup for NFL
6:32
fans unlimited Cloud DVR storage and
6:35
features like sports stats keyplays and
6:37
now multi-view sling tv less convenient
6:40
but it can save you some money
6:41
especially if you've already got an
6:43
antenna for your local stations my name
6:45
is Michael give this video a like if you
6:47
found it helpful and I thank you for
6:49
watching
