While Week 12 of the NFL season got off to an early start with Thanksgiving’s matchups, there’s plenty of action left for this weekend. And this week, it’s all about momentum.
The Giants will try to slow down the Philadelphia Eagles, who have been on a roll lately. The Patriots are showing signs of their old strength. And the Chiefs are reminding people why they’ve played in the last two Super Bowls.
There’s holiday shopping to be done, though. So 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.

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 lots of alternatives for cord cutters…

NBC’s streaming service will give you access to Sunday night games and others aired on that network. You can get a seven-day free trial, followed by a $5 or $10 monthly charge. (The free version of Peacock does not include live sports.)
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.
