There's good news and bad news for West Coast soccer fans this week. The bad news is that you'll once again have to get up at a depressingly early hour if you want to watch this week's international game, where the Patriots face the Jaguars. The good news is that after this week you can sleep in for a while.

The schedule returns to normal next week for a little less than a month. Meanwhile, there are numerous rivalry games taking place, including the Eagles vs. the Giants and the Raiders vs. the Rams. Minnesota and Kansas City, meanwhile, will look to maintain their unbeaten streaks. But the game that will likely draw the most attention is the Chiefs and 49ers in a rematch of Super Bowl LVIII.

Are you planning to watch? There are various options for this. Here's everything you need to know about this week's games.

How can I watch NFL games for free even if I'm not in the market?

The best way to watch any type of network programming on a big screen for free is with a good HD antenna. To ensure you get the most reliable signal, be sure to test the antenna in several locations around your home.

Can I stream 2024 NFL games live online if I don't have a cable subscription?

You certainly can – and you have a number of ways to do it.

Paramount+

CBS' streaming service gives you a one-week free trial, followed by a monthly fee of $8 or $13. (An annual plan is currently just $30.)

peacock

NBC's streaming service gives you access to multiple games, including all upcoming Sunday night games. The monthly fee is $8 to $14 – and the service recently eliminated the free trial. (The free version of Peacock does not include live sports.)

Disney+

Disney's bundle of Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ no longer has a free trial, so you'll have to pay $17 per month for all three combined (or $30 per month if you don't see any ads on Hulu).

Including live TV in the package increases the price to $77 per month ($90 without ads).

Hulu with live TV

The free trial of this service lasts three days. After that, it will cost you $77 per month.

YouTubeTV

After a free trial, you can expect to pay monthly fees of $73.

Sling TV

Dish Network's Sling's lower “Orange” plan will set you back $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan increases the cost to $55 per month. Unfortunately, the seven-day free trial has disappeared.

DirecTV stream

Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow and AT&T TV, this oft-renamed streaming service costs $80 per month and up after the free trial. (The package that includes NFL Network costs $99 per month.)

Fubo TV

This sports-focused cord-cutting service operates broadcast networks in most markets. There's a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly fees of $80 and up depending on the channels you choose.

Can I watch NFL games on Amazon?

On Thursday, but not on Sunday. Amazon is the home of Thursday Night Football, with the exception of Thanksgiving (although it does air a game on Black Friday). The first matchup on Amazon this year will be the Denver Broncos game against the New Orleans Saints on October 17th.

Does the NFL offer viewing packages to watch the games I want?

Three of them.

NFL app

The NFL app allows you to stream games broadcast locally in your market on Sundays. If you want to see an out-of-market game, you have two options.

NFL+

Watch local and out-of-market games live and (with the premium subscription) replays. Expect to pay a fee of $50 per season. ($100 for the reward.)

NFL Sunday Ticket

YouTube is once again the home of this channel. Pricing this year starts at $73 per month for Sunday Ticket and YouTubeTV or $449 for Sunday Ticket only (covering all out-of-stock games this season).
