do you really need all these streaming
0:02
services for NFL season well I've been
0:04
seeing a lot on social media lately
0:06
talking about how it cost so much more
0:08
to watch NFL games in the streaming era
0:12
500 600 more than $800 a season today
0:16
I'm covering the big streaming changes
0:18
for the 2024 season and hopefully I can
0:22
save you some money let's get started
0:24
now before we get to the changes here is
0:26
something that is not changing and this
0:28
is important when ever your home team is
0:31
playing that game is going to air on
0:33
broadcast TV and yes that's true even if
0:37
the game is exclusive to a streaming
0:39
platform so if you've got an antenna for
0:42
your local stations you're going to be
0:44
able to watch a lot of NFL games for a
0:47
grand total of $0 now this is a graphic
0:50
that went viral on X more than 15
0:53
million views it's from Dove kimman and
0:56
the caption says the cost to watch every
0:59
NFL game this year the total price is
1:03
$670 now I want to break this down
1:05
starting from the top if you don't have
1:07
an antenna for your locals you're
1:09
probably going to want a live TV
1:11
streaming service YouTube TV Hulu live
1:14
Direct TV stream and fubo have full
1:16
local coverage so that's ABC CBS FOX and
1:21
NBC ABC has some Monday Night Football
1:24
games CBS and fox have Sunday afternoon
1:27
games and fox is also going to have the
1:29
super Super Bowl in February 2025 and
1:32
NBC is the home of Sunday Night Football
1:35
outside of these premium live TV
1:37
services you can stream cbs's NFL games
1:41
with Paramount plus and NBC's games
1:44
those are available with peacock
1:46
unfortunately there is no affordable
1:48
streaming option with all four locals
1:51
and if you're thinking about sling TV
1:53
know that it does not offer full local
1:55
coverage it has ABC NBC and fox but only
2:00
in select markets aside from the games
2:02
on local stations live TV streaming
2:05
bundles are going to get you ESPN for
2:07
Monday Night Football they also carry
2:09
NFL Network which has more than a
2:12
handful of games this season so two
2:15
questions do you want locals ESPN and
2:18
NFL Network and do you want to watch NFL
2:21
games on a TV set if you answer yes to
2:24
both you probably want a live TV
2:27
streaming bundle and if you follow my
2:29
deal alerts I've shared a few deals
2:32
ahead of NFL season YouTube TV Direct TV
2:35
stream sling TV all on sale I've got the
2:39
updates on Michael saves deals.com and
2:42
by the way if you're willing to watch
2:44
only on mobile devices NFL plus is a
2:47
very affordable option that's going to
2:50
get you local and Prime Time games more
2:53
on NFL plus a little later next up is
2:55
peacock and this is going to be an easy
2:58
one for a lot of people to Skip and
3:00
that's because there's only one peacock
3:03
exclusive game this season and unlike
3:06
last year it's not a playoff game the
3:08
peacock exclusive game takes place
3:11
during week 1 Friday September 6th
3:14
Packers and Eagles from Brazil but all
3:16
the other NFL games on peacock this
3:18
season are also going to be shown on NBC
3:22
in addition to the Sunday Night Football
3:24
games NBC and peacock have the NFL
3:27
kickoff game that is on Thursday
3:29
September 5th as well as a Thanksgiving
3:32
game moving on to Amazon Prime video and
3:35
once again prime is home to Thursday
3:37
Night Football that starts in week two
3:40
since NBC and peacock have the NFL
3:43
kickoff game Prime video also has a
3:45
Black Friday game this year Raiders
3:48
versus Chiefs but the big change for
3:50
this season Prime will have an exclusive
3:53
playoff game during super Wildcard
3:56
Weekend in January 2025 Thursday night
3:59
football also streams free on Twitch
4:02
which is owned by Amazon if you want to
4:05
watch football on Christmas day you're
4:07
going to need access to a Netflix
4:09
account this year this is new for 2024
4:13
two games Chiefs versus Steelers and
4:16
Ravens versus Texans both of them
4:19
exclusively on Netflix ESPN plus and
4:22
this is another service that you may be
4:24
able to skip really just depends on your
4:27
level of commitment to watching NFL
4:29
games there's only one ESPN plus
4:32
exclusive game and that's in week s
4:35
Monday October 21st Chargers and
4:38
Cardinals ESPN plus is also going to
4:41
simoc cast some other Monday Night
4:44
Football games and those will Air either
4:46
on ESPN or ABC all of it's outlined in
4:50
this chart I'm going to link to it in
4:52
the description box below now to NFL
4:55
plus and if you decide to go with a
4:57
premium live TV service you may not need
4:59
anything that NFL plus has to offer the
5:02
base plan includes live local and Prime
5:05
Time games but only on mobile devices
5:08
phones and tablets the Premium plan
5:11
includes NFL Red Zone on all devices so
5:14
including TV sets and then you can watch
5:17
all the touchdowns on Sunday afternoons
5:19
red zone is widely available you can
5:22
also get it as an add-on from the live
5:25
TV streaming services a quick word about
5:28
NFL Sunday Ticket and this is a premium
5:31
service available from both YouTube TV
5:33
and YouTube it's very expensive several
5:36
hundred for the season and it gets you
5:39
out of Market Sunday afternoon games so
5:42
if your favorite team plays in a
5:44
different Market maybe it's worth
5:45
considering but I would probably just go
5:48
with red zone a lot cheaper and a lot
5:50
more fun to watch let me take you back
5:53
to that graphic from X remember it said
5:55
the cost to watch every NFL game this
5:58
year but the truth is most people have
6:00
got way too much going on to watch every
6:03
single football game so they don't need
6:05
all these Services here's my
6:07
recommendation just a starting point if
6:10
you want a live TV service YouTube TV is
6:13
a pretty safe bet you may be able to
6:15
save some money though by switching
6:17
services midseason and cancelling after
6:20
the season ends then you may want to add
6:23
Prime video for Thursday Night Football
6:26
and that exclusive wild card playoff
6:28
game and finally you may want to pick up
6:31
a subscription to Netflix if you want to
6:33
stream the Christmas Day games give this
6:36
video a like if you found it helpful and
6:38
keep it here on Michael saves I've got
6:40
more ways to save on streaming TV see
