How are you streaming football?

[Madison320]

I was using fubo to stream football but it was expensive (about $75 a month), then I moved and now it's over $100, partly because there's a regional sports fee in my area ($15). Anyway that's way too much considering I only use fubo to watch football. The other major live tv services are about the same (hulu,youtubetv,directtv)

I'm out of range of antenna channels so what I ended up doing is getting each major channel separately using roku. Fox sports was free, peacock(nbc) was $8 a month, epsn plus (I think covers abc) was $11. I haven't signed up for paramount (cbs) yet but I probably will. It's $8 a month. So that's $27 a month plus those channels come with a lot of extra stuff like movies. So far so good.

I gave up. I'll watch the replays and highlights on YouTube, but I'm not paying hundreds of dollars to watch a game live. Nope. I'll listen to the radio broadcast.

These owners are getting government dollars to build their stadiums. They're getting tons of ad revenue. They can go to hell with pay per view games. If they chase enough of us away, maybe something will change. It just isn't worth it.

Madison320, I don’t pay anything for football. I only watch what is free on my regular tv. Ever since the kneeling, end zone verbiage and name or saying on the back of helmets I won’t spend a dime on football. Jerseys, hats, t shirts, nothing. Don’t get me wrong, I think the game is great. Since you enjoy it you should checkout the “Cowboys win the NFC thread” it can be fun.

I never watch any of the "in-between" stuff. There's too much politics inserted into everything. I usually use commercials and pregame and halftime to do stuff around the house. You can get a lot done that way.

Well I certainly agree with that. I dvr any game I can that I have an interest in and skip all that crap too.

I watch football through Youtube TV.

Google search streameast or stream or front row sports to watch make sure you have your antivirus up to date. You'll get some initial popups but after that nothing

Ok, so I had a setback to my plan. Everything was going well until monday night football last night. It turns out that ESPN Plus does not carry games that are on ESPN! WTF? You would think ESPN "Plus" would include ESPN "Plus" other stuff but it doesn't. It's a separate unrelated service. The only way you can get ESPN is thru another service like fubo, youtubetv, dish, etc.

So eff them. I'll just watch the games that are not on ESPN (or ABC I think).

Apparently the cheapest option for espn is sling orange at 40 a month. So that's 56 a month in total but I don't think I get abc.
