Get Local NFL Channels Free With an Antenna

It is easy to dismiss antennas when looking to watch big sporting events. We are all on the internet and streaming just seems easier. But the antenna is probably the cord-cutter’s most powerful tool.

For roughly $30, you can get a high-definition antenna that, in most areas, will allow you to watch 12 of the 13 NFL playoff games including the Super Bowl. That’s a one-time cost. The antenna should last you for many years.

For more information, see our antenna guide.

Our Choice

After testing a few different streaming options for NFL Playoffs, I’ve got to say Fubo really shines. It offers the best variety of channels, including all the major ones like CBS, NBC, Fox, and ESPN, so you won’t miss any of the big games. The streaming quality is top-notch, with no annoying buffering or delays – something I really appreciated during live play. Plus, it works across a bunch of devices, so whether you’re at home or on the go, you’re covered. If you’re after a reliable, no-hassle streaming experience with plenty of sports content, Fubo is definitely the way to go.
