How to stream all the NFL Week 4 action

Another week, another troubling—what? No Antonio Brown? Yes! At least for now. 

Week 4 kicks off with a fantastic Thursday night matchup, between Philadelphia taking on an undefeated Green Bay, although the way the Packers are discussed, you’d think they are 1-2. QB Aaron Rodgers’ bristly nature hasn’t rubbed Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and his offense off the map; they’ve been successful thanks to a live and athletic defense, led by LB/tackling machine Blake Martinez. The talented Eagles haven’t been spectacular on offense themselves. In fact, Carson Wentz hasn’t played badly, but their lack of a running game has prevented an unlocking of his full capability. Philly has to up their 3.6 rush yards per carry average if they want a much-need victory in Wisconsin. They’re also due to get Alshon Jeffery back at receiver.

Two other contests—New England vs. Buffalo and Cleveland vs. Baltimore—will illuminate where each of the teams stand nearly a quarter into the 2019 season. Browns’ head coach Freddie Kitchens could be in the hot seat if they lose. The Patriots’ Tom Brady has been practicing less, citing “age” as a reason; however, a calf injury recently showed up on the injury report. Given the state of the Patriots’ patchwork at offensive line, it’s something to keep tabs on.

Here’s the big rundown, including these games and the rest of Week 4, plus everything you need to stream the NFL.

NFL Week 4 live stream

There are a number of options for watching the NFL on streaming platforms that carry Fox, CBS, ESPN, and NBC. However, consult a coverage map to see what game your regional channel will be playing.

If a game is not being carried in your area, the only option might be an NFL Sunday Ticket package.

1) Sling TV

• Sling TV pricing: $25-$40 per month (40% first month)
• Sling TV devices: Amazon Fire Stick and Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Roku,Xbox One,Google Chromecast, Oculus Go, Microsoft Edge, and iOS and Android devices
• Sling TV local channels: NBC, Fox (check your local availability here)

Sling TV provides two base channel package options, each priced at $25 per month. Sling Orange includes three ESPN channels, while Sling Blue includes sports channels like NFL Network, NBCSN, and local channels. If you’re Team “Why Not Both,” Sling Orange + Blue combines the two for just $40 per month. Sports Extra: Sling Blue ($10 per month) also includes NFL RedZone.

Sling TV Latino is another Spanish-language package for $10 per month, including NBC Universo, History en Español, and—of import to soccer fans—four beIN SPORTS channels. (And choosing Sling TV Latino + Sling Orange for $30 per month gives you access to ESPN Deportes.) For more information, check out our guide to Sling TV channels and our Sling TV review.

On Sept. 26, however, Sling announced that it no longer carries local Fox stations, FS1, and FS2.

How to use AirTV with Sling

AirTV solves one of the Sling’s biggest problems: The inability to receive all of your local channels. By purchasing a basic AirTV for $79.99 or the AirTV Player for $119.99, you can merge those local channels into your Sling TV, (or on your mobile device if you have the basic AirTV). As the Daily Dot wrote in its AirTV review, “It’s practically magic.”

The basic AirTV is a dual-tuner streaming device, while the AirTV Player is basically an upgraded Chromecast that has Netflix preinstalled. You’ll still need to own an HD antenna because even though AirTV gets you access to your local channels, it doesn’t actually physically show them to you.

But AirTV—which has no monthly fee—serves to strengthen one of Sling’s biggest weaknesses compared to other live streaming services like Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV, and PlayStation Vue. All those services have plenty of local channels. While select football games are no longer on Sling, you can still catch them with AirTV.

2) Hulu with Live TV

• Cost: $44.99-$79.99 per month 
• PlayStation Vue devices: PlayStation 3 and 4, Roku, Amazon Fire Stick and Fire TV, Google Chromecast, Kodi, iOS and Android devices
• PlayStation Vue local channels: NBC, Fox, ABC, CBS (enter your ZIP code here to check your availability)

PlayStation Vue is a fantastic option for fans who already own a PlayStation console, but this streaming platform is available on a variety of devices. ESPN and FS1 are part of the Core package of channels, and the options increase at the Elite and Ultra levels.

TRY PLAYSTATION VUE

4) YouTube TV

• Cost: $50 per month 
• YouTube TV devices: Google Chromecast, Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, Xbox One, iOS and Android devices
• YouTube TV local channels: NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC, the CW (enter your ZIP code here to check your availability)

YouTube TV is a great option for football fans, including ESPN and FS1. (Take a look at the full list of YouTube TV channels here.)

5) NFL Sunday Ticket

Cost: $73.99 per month for four months, or one single payment of $293.96

There are two—and only two—ways of acquiring NFL Sunday Ticket without DirecTV. There’s NFLSundayTicket.TV, which costs $73.99 per month for four months. It’s everything you love NFL Sunday Ticket but online-only. You can stream from pretty much any device that connects to the internet (but only on one device at a time).

You can also upgrade to the NFLST.TV Max bundle for a total of $99 per month for four months or one single payment of $395.99. You can also add on NFL Game Pass, which allows you to watch replays of every game after they air, for $50 for the full season.

There’s another way to watch NFL Sunday Ticket without DirecTV: Amazon Prime. While you can’t pay for the package using Amazon Prime, you can at least watch all of the games on the service. To start, first download the NFL Sunday Ticket channel on Amazon Prime. It’s free. From there, you’ll just need to sign in with your subscription credentials.

College students can purchase NFL Sunday Ticket at a discounted price through NFLSundayTicket.TV U.
