Living outside of Michigan makes it challenging to catch Detroit Lions games each Sunday, unlike the simple access to broadcasts when residing in the local market. The frustration of missing regionalized NFL coverage is a common experience for fans living beyond the team’s broadcast area. Thankfully, several viewing solutions exist to ensure I never miss a Lions game, regardless of my location.
In a hurry? US football fans can watch all out-of-market NFL games through YouTube and YouTube TV’s NFL Sunday Ticket. But this is not the only option for watching these games on Sunday.
