Cut the cord with Xfinity and need recommendations on the preferred service to watch Patriots/NFL games for the season. TY

I live outside Massachusetts....

So, YouTube.Tv with Sunday Ticket is what I use.

And a SHOUT OUT for "Dazn".....great app to watch games while out of the country. They have it all...MNF, SNF, TNF, and all the Sunday games...two week free trial even...I was able to watch 2 Patriots games while in Tahiti a few years ago.....

Paramount and Fox streaming until late in the season if you are in the area.

I get Peacock for free with xfinity internet, but you need that too.

I use YouTube TV and Sunday ticket, and NFL+ for the preseason. I turn off YouTube TV every Feb through August and we have Paramount+, which we use the live feed for the local news until we re-activate it each fall.

If you're in the area, just get a digital over the air antenna. For Thursday's game, do a trial period of Prime, if you're not already a subscriber.

I'm out of state and I use NFL+. I can't watch the games live but a couple of hours after it ends I catch watch the condensed very that's only 40 minutes long. No commercials, no sideline crap, and no yapping. Just play after play after play from start to finish aside from the occasional very interesting instant replay.

I’m out of the area. My solution was to find a good Patriots bar in my area. I’m quite happy with the results.

Agree on DAZN. Lots of college football too. It's how I watch all my football.

Have been ignoring the DAZN inundation in my inbox til now.
Just relied on DEU RAN NFL and AFN (army) free services to catch 75% of games live.

Based on yours / @Hyped comments, I may re-consider. Once upon a time I paid yearly for NFL package. I cancelled after deflategate with no regrets.

 

[BennyBledsoe]

This year, we got good news in that the only MNF game (so far) is simulcast on ABC. *Which ESPN/Disney should always do because I doubt any programming on ABC would beat out the NFL*.

 

[Water Boy]

I do Youtube TV. They have a sports package option now $64. I just buy it for the season.

So entirely wireless? I couldn't get away with that, too wobbly.

 

[mike_usagisan]

We have Peacock and will get Paramount+ for the season. The other games are sort of hit or miss.

Best Buy Plus

I just signed up. You pay $29.99 annually (cancel anytime) for their Best Buy Plus thing and you qualify for the Youtube NFL ticket for approximately $250.00. Total price out the door $287.00

I had YTNFL last season and first time buyers can purchase at $250, but this season the cost was $420 until I found Best Buy. I used to do the bar thing, but it sucks because there is no sound. Typically the seats at sports bars are not meant for comfort because they want to turn tables with new customers. I figure about 10 games will be on YTNFL so that equates to $30 per game which is what I would spend and more at a sportsbar.

We live PT in Mass and PT in other parts of the country. In Mass just buy a good hdtv antenna and pull it out on game day. YT generally gets blocked and VPN has been much less dependable. YT offers Military/veteran/possible first responder 50% discounts through id.me as well as same this year for renewal. Stupid problem is you don't get any preseason games.

For us foreigners it's the best and easiest experience. Just pay once on DAZN and get every single game from preseason to SB with no restrictions, no exclusives.

Do you have a problem with the speech doubling up during the ads before the game starts? It's really annoying, but my only real gripe.

Speech doubling? Is that American English and proper English at the same time?

Worse than that although sidenote, American English...yuck!. No they play an advert but then restart the speech from that a few seconds later playing both versions at the same time. It happens every time you start a game before kickoff.

Something did feel weird during the Colts game. Audio speed would be off at times. First issue I've had in years so for now I'll dismiss it as preseason wonkiness.
