The New Orleans Saints are still in the postseason hunt! Get up-to-date information in our NFL Playoff Guide!
A lot has changed for New Orleans Saints fans in recent years. Legendary quarterback Drew Brees ended his career with the team in 2020 after spending more than a decade in New Orleans, and long-time head coach Sean Payton followed him into retirement at the end of the 2021 campaign.
The Saints still play in the Superdome and have a star-studded roster that includes All-Pro wide receiver Michael Thomas and Pro-Bowl running back Alvin Kamara, but the future does not look as certain for gridiron fans in the Big Easy as it once did.
In a hurry? NFL Sunday Ticket offers US fans the ability to watch out-of-market NFL games. But there are more options on how you can watch these games from anywhere:
- ExpressVPN: Get the games you want to watch no matter where you are with private browsing and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Fubo: Watch all local and primetime games as well as all the action Sunday afternoon with NFL RedZone. Sign up for a free trial!
- NFL Sunday Ticket: Available through YouTube and YouTube TV.
- DAZN Canada is streaming every NFL game live, which means preseason, regular games, playoff games, and of course the Super Bowl.
The Saints are always sold out, but you will have no problem watching the Black and Gold if you live in New Orleans because every game is shown on the local Fox affiliate station.
If you’re a Saints fan in another part of the country though, you’ll have to do more than switch on your TV to see your favorite team play.

How to Watch Out-of-Market New Orleans Saints Games
If you are a Saints fan and live somewhere other than the Big Easy, you’ll only be able to watch your local team and any out-of-market games chosen by your regional networks.
CBS covers AFC games and Fox sends TV crews to NFC contests, and they show every game in its local market as long as all of the tickets are sold. The networks then pick a couple of premium contests for their games of the week, and these are the matchups nationwide audiences get to see.
Out-of-market NFL broadcasts almost always involve strong teams that are vying for playoff spots because those are games casual fans want to watch. You may occasionally see a team with a losing record on national TV, but it will usually be because the game has attracted a lot of attention for other reasons.
The Saints are not currently the kind of team that gets a lot of nationwide exposure, so fans who want to see them in action have to look beyond the networks. Other professional sports leagues like the NHL, NBA, and MLB make this easy with online season passes, but the NFL does not offer fans this option.
What Channels Do I Need to Watch New Orleans Saints Games Out of Market?
If you want to enjoy watching Taysom Hill catching touchdowns and Cameron Jordan terrorizing backfields, you have a few options even if you don’t live in New Orleans.
- NFL Sunday Ticket: If you want to watch any out-of-market NFL live game from the comfort of your own home, signing up for YouTube or YouTube TV and buying the NFL Sunday Ticket package is the only way to do it officially. NFL Sunday Ticket costs almost $449 per year, but you will be able to watch any game you like. NFL Sunday Ticket prices often drop once the NFL season gets underway, and discount packages are available for college students. (NFL out-of-market guide)
- NFL+ Premium: This is the option for NFL fans who want to see out-of-market action but don’t want to pay for Sunday Ticket package. You can watch in-market games on a tablet or smartphone, but you will only be able to watch out-of-market highlights or listen to live audio. NFL+ Premium costs about $10 per month, and the NFL offers a free 7-day trial. (NFL+ review)
- NFL RedZone: NFL RedZone is a channel that covers every pro football game at the same time. Coverage switches from one game to another whenever a team turns the ball over or reaches the red zone. NFL RedZone is included in many cable TV and streaming packages. (NFL RedZone Out-of-Market)
- SiriusXM: All NFL games are broadcast on satellite radio, and the NFL also includes these audio feeds in its Premium package.
- Friends and sports bars: If all else fails, you will still be able to see the Saints play if you visit a sports bar that shows every game. You could also ask family members or friends with an NFL Sunday Ticket subscription or sports streaming package (such as DIRECTV STREAM).
- NFL Game Pass International: This is a service that the NFL offers to overseas fans. All of the games are streamed live, but you will not be able to login if you have a North American IP address unless you use a VPN. More about that in a moment.

Use a VPN to Watch New Orleans Saints Games Out of Market
VPN providers don’t provide content like streaming platforms, but they could help you watch out-of-market New Orleans Saints games. This is because VPNs can make it appear as if you’re logging in from a different location, so you can bypass regional restrictions.
Most of the respected VPNs regularly check to make sure their servers have no problem accessing popular entertainment portals, so you should not have much difficulty logging into NFL+ Premium or NFL Game Pass International if you use one.

Devices to Live Stream Out-of-Market New Orleans Saints Games
If you want to watch the New Orleans Saints play on one of the streaming services mentioned in this article, you will be able to access the stream using any kind of connected device.
This means laptops, phones, and tablets running on Windows, Chrome, Android, or iOS will work fine. You will also be able to watch Saints streams on smart TVs, Apple TV, or a device connected to an Amazon Firestick.

Wrapping Up
Baseball, basketball, and hockey enthusiasts who want to watch out-of-market games have it easy. NFL fans have a few options. If you can live with just audio commentary and highlights, a few more options open up. None of these options are as good as an online pass, but they are the only choices NFL fans have until something changes.
We think Fubo with NFL RedZone is the best choice for most fans. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.
