While it’s a week full of great matchups, the focus of Week 10 of the 2021 NFL season is still, inescapably, Aaron Rodgers.
After testing positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 3, the Packers quarterback made waves with his comments on vaccines and his own status. He won’t find out until Saturday night whether he’s cleared to play or if Jordan Love will start for Green Bay. And even if he does return, there are questions about how being out so long will impact his performance.
Whether you’re following the Rodgers saga or not, there’s a lot happening as the playoff picture begins to take shape. If you’re not going to be front of a TV for the full extent of Sunday’s games—or not sure who’s playing when, we’ve got a look at the matchups—and several different options for viewing them.
Which NFL teams are playing this week? And what channels are airing the games?

How can I watch my local NFL team for free—even if I am out of market?
The best way to watch any sort of network programming for free on a big screen is with a good HD antenna. And NFL games are one of the easiest to view, since they air on broadcast networks, meaning you’ll be able to watch even if you don’t have a cable subscription. To ensure you’re getting the most reliable signal, be sure to test the antenna in multiple locations in your home.
How can I stream NFL games live online if I don’t have a cable subscription?
There are plenty of choices…

Paramount+
CBS’s streaming service will give you access to games aired on that network. You can get a one-month free trial, followed by a $6 monthly charge.

Dish Network’s Sling lower tiered “Orange” plan will run you $35 per month. Adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan bumps the cost to $50-per-month. You’ll have a 7-day free trial first. And right now, the cord cutting service is dropping the first month’s bill to $10.

The Amazon-owned streaming service will also carry Thursday night games and allow viewers to interact through live chat, polls, and more.
Can I watch NFL games on Amazon?
You can, but Amazon only streams games on Thursdays. Amazon Prime subscribers will be able to watch 11 games this year. They’ll be featured in the Prime Video section and Amazon will also offer the NFL Network pregame show before each game at 7:30 p.m. ET. As mentioned above, you can also watch on Amazon’s Twitch service.
If you don’t have Prime, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial.
Does the NFL offer any viewing packages to watch the games I want?
Three, in fact:
NFL App
The NFL App will let you stream games that are being broadcast locally in your market on Sundays. If you want to watch an ‘out of market’ game, you’ve got two choices.
NFL Game Pass
There are couple hitches with this service. You can’t use it to watch live games, but you can watch anything once its main broadcast ends. There’s a seven-day free trial, after which you’re looking at a $100 charge per season.
NFL Sunday Ticket
DirecTV customers have access to it, but if you’re not a subscriber and live in an area where it’s not available, you can watch any NFL game live, online or on TV for $73.49 per month or $293.36 for the entire season.
