Stream NFL playoff games today: How to watch the 2019 divisional playoff games for free
The two NFL playoff games today on TV are being broadcast on CBS and Fox. If you’ve already cut the cord or you’re planning on watch on mobile, it can be more difficult than you might expect to stream network channels. While most live TV streaming services offer local channels, not all of them offer both CBS and Fox, and even within each service, availability varies by city. Be sure to use the links below to confirm that the channels are available in your area. If so, you’re in luck: All of the services listed below offer a one-week trial, so you can watch these NFL playoff games for free.
1) Sling TV
- Cost: $25-$40 per month (40% off first month)
- Sling TV devices: Amazon Fire TVs, Android Fire Stick, Apple TV, Android TV, Roku, Xbox One, Google Chromecast, and iOS and Android devices

- ESPN: Yes
- NFL Network: Yes (Sling Orange, Sling Orange + Blue)
- NFL RedZone: Yes (Sling Blue + Sling Blue Sports “Sports Extra”)
Sling TV only offers two local channels, Fox and NBC, which means you’ll only be able to watch the Rams vs. Saints live stream. But if you’re looking to cut the cord in general, Sling TV is worth considering. It offers the cheapest avenue for watching NFL RedZone (more relevant for next season, but still worth noting) and all sorts of essential sports channels. (Here’s a complete guide to Sling TV channels.)

FuboTV specifically caters to sports fans, as you’ll note by the abundance of sports channels in its basic lineup, which includes regional sports networks, Big Ten Network, BeIn Sports, and FS1 and FS2. It’s the best streaming service for international soccer and, with a standard package that includes access to all four major broadcast channels and NFL Network, it’s a solid choice for streaming NFL playoff games, too. The major asterisk to FuboTV is that it doesn’t include ESPN, but you’ll get free three-day replay for games and 30 hours of cloud DVR storage. (Here’s the complete FuboTV channels list.)
3) CBS All Access
