Great, let me know if you run into any trouble! As I said, the only real constraint is the NFL's website not getting clogged on gameday.

If anyone needs a stream (no comment to it's legality ) msg me.

wtf are you guys saying no more free nfl gamepass overseas?

it's too late at night to post much info, but that one vpn dude had it about right.
what you can do to simplify it a bit is just run a proxy through firefox settings, or whatever --- get the proxy ip through a search for free proxy lists.

I'm gonna cry if I find out there's no free gamepass anywhere on the globe.
gamepass was almost as awesome as a shirtless tom brady

Gamepass was never free. You got a 7-day trial period, but after that you have to pay. It's still available overseas, or if you run the fix the other guy posted, via VPN to people in the States, but it's not free.

Before I plunk down my cash via PayPal, I just want to verify what I get with GamePass through a non-US country. From what I saw in the screenshots I get the games live, and from other comments I also get the NFLN live.

That's fantastic, but do I also get all the games on demand, just like the US-version (Game Rewind)? If so, do I also get the all-22 coach's view in addition to the regular broadcast angle, and do I also get an option for condensed games like I would with the US Game Rewind?


Thanks in advance for your response, and thanks very much for posting all this great information.

This should help you. You get the live games, you get NFL network live, you get redzone, replay of games, condensed games, playoffs (if you pay for the subscription into the playoffs, which would be stupid), archives of EVERY game from 2009 to now, and downloads, whatever the hell that means. I'm not sure about the All-22 film, you might be able to do that through the NFL Network once you log on, but it's a pretty robust set of features. I've watched a replay of the Pats preseason game after the fact and it was flawless...skipped right to Jimmy G time. lol Also, watching live has been great as well.

Also, apparently you can watch the latest version of Hard Knocks on here even if you don't have HBO. Not sure if that's exclusive to the Gamepass or if you can watch it on NFL Network regularly. Ok, I'll shut up now.

@Simple Jack's Brother

Thanks much, that more than answered my question!

My biggest concern was whether or not I could watch a game later, which I obviously can. The primary objective is of course to watch every game live, but as a secondary priority I have found that I can pick up a whole lot watching the game a second time (it also helps if the beer is not flowing like it usually is in a sports bar on Sunday). I also like to watch the upcoming opponent's most recent game(s) to get a feel of what to look for and expect the next week, so that's a nice bonus. Bottom line is that it makes for preferable viewing over the course of the week for a football junkie like me than whatever is on network television.

I am on my second year with NFL Gamepass ( with VPN), it worked last year with no problem, so i subscribed again this year for $199. You can watch all the games as much as you want until July 31 2015, that is when your subscription is up.

Also the price of the service depends which country IP you are using, I think UK is more expensive.

For $199, i got this: Red zone, Pre season & regular season + playoffs+ Superbowl+ Nfl network


I use it either on my htpc hooked to my living room HDTV, or i stream chromecast it to other rooms, works very well too, plus i can watch all games on my devices ( android and ios) tablet or phone on the go.

Not a problem at all! It's actually been really useful for me so far, and it's only preseason. Really enjoy being able to watch the games again and skip to the parts i want to watch without interruption. And as @weswelker#83 mentioned, I believe price does vary by country. I think i paid about $160, and that was either through a VPN hooked into either the Netherlands or Germany. UK definitely seems to be a tad more expensive (since they're on the pound and not euro).

Anyone with nfl gamepass willing to share their username/email

Reward will be given

For the sunday ticket without having to sign up for direct TV version, there is a relatively cheap option of watching all the games on your laptop and all portable devices only for $199.

I have always wondered how people in Canada watch the NFL (and I mean, like, at home on TV, not over a computer internet connection). Do they have the Sunday games like we here in the States do? Is there a Canadian equivalent of DirecTV Sunday Ticket?

According to the Directv Sunday Ticket wiki page, subscribers in Canada can receive it through their regular cable provider, as well as several satellite providers, but who knows considering the poor reputation that wiki has in being right.

Ya we have NFL sunday ticket in canada, on pretty much all the cable and satellite providers. Plus we have CBSW/E FOXW/E and all the other main American channels. Plus CTV carries games on all there channels. Frankly, you can get by pretty fine with out sunday ticket. Tho it is still good to have.

FOR THOSE OUTSIDE THE US
The question is simply how to get the games. It is clear that the games are available. If you want to steal shows, while others pay the freight, that is your own business. This has always been the case. We have that choice with movies, games and other material that is paid for by others.

Personally, I hope that the NFL will go the way of other countries and get rid of the monopoly (or that the Congress will do so). BTW, that does NOT mean that we would receive all games of all teams for free.
========================
IN THE US
The kids are free to watch their illegal, sometimes low-quality, streams. I tried those for awhile. Of course, they were closed down often.

I strongly recommend NFL.com Rewind. The situation is the same as it is tonight. I will watch NFLN "rewind" and discuss the game tomorrow, as many will. I prefer watching the game in the highest quality on my big screen in my living room. But that's MY personal preference.

The big question is whether avoiding watching half the games one day late is worth the $200 Sunday Ticket is charging. Last year, it was $300 and I said "no". This year, I'll pay the $25 a game.
==========================
In the end, DirectTV charges a lot for its products. However, I have always found it worth the money. When the NFL chooses to allow its product to be shown by more than just DirectTV, of course the price will likely come down. I suspect that in the next contract that we will not be limited to cable or satellite. The NFL will also have its own internet channel and we will simply buy the channel and use our Appletv's or Roku's.

Probably most Patsfans posters are smart (that is why they are Pats fans) tech savvy youngsters (at least compared to me) who grew up with an IPAD under their pillow.

If there are any other old-farts reading this thread who don't live in the area and are thinking "wow, this sounds complicated", I was pretty happy with just watching the games the day after on NFL.com Rewind for $70 per year, and they looked amazing.

That necessitates that you wait until the day after, so I would either be careful to not check sports websites until the day after, or sometimes I would follow the game on Patsfans.com in real time (no joke, Joker).

I'm not saying that is the best way, but it was simplest for me and didn't require that I get a Playstation, change my TV service, etc.

Do you have a step by step on how to go about getting the direcTV Sunday ticket without a subscription? I've read it's really, really difficult to get them to offer that unless you can prove you're UNABLE to physically get direcTV.

One more thing, you can skip buying a Vpn service, and install Hola for Chrome browser.
Use Hola and set it to Argentina, and the Gamepass will cost you $129 for the season.




You can get Hola for free:

That's the first I've heard of Hola, but if it masks your actual IP, then you should be good! I'm not sure if Gamepass is available in Argentina (would assume so since it's non-US), but go ahead and check the link. If it only offers you an audiopass, then it didn't work. If it offers you the full package for video and all the other features I've posted, then it worked!

https://gamepass.nfl.com/


UPDATE: YES, HOLA WORKS! Just make sure you turn it off after you've loaded the launch page so you can get high quality streaming!

I assume this game isn't going to be carried on natl. tv anywhere?

SO I qualify for NFL Sunday ticket for streaming because I live in college dorms in one of the TEN universities that apply to this! Stoked and price aint too bad ($150)
