It is August, which means the upcoming NFL season is around the corner and the preseason games are starting up. All of this excitement is what leads to the big question: what is the best way to watch NFL football? Fortunately, the NFL has designed a network that is meant to be the ideal way to catch all of the thrills of the sport on television and online. Aptly titled, its name is NFL Network. Here is everything you need to know about NFL Network, including how to watch it online, both on desktop and on mobile.
What is NFL Network?
NFL Network is home to all things football and has been considered a must-have by football fans. The network is owned by the league itself and is able to show all of the action happening on the field as well as off the field. People can watch on their television screens or on their computer.
What can you watch on NFL Network?
There is a wide variety of programming on NFL Network. For starters, the network airs some of the most exciting live games spanning the preseason, regular season, and even some postseason playoff games. Along with the games, there is also news coverage from the experts, daily programming (like Good Morning Football, which airs every morning and features some exciting interviews), and NFL Gameday, which showcases some of the most topical news in the football world. With the NFL Network, this sport gets a large spotlight.
What is the difference between NFL Network and NFL RedZone?
NFL RedZone is owned by the NFL Network, which can lead to a lot of confusion. Despite being owned by the same company, NFL RedZone is a separate channel and has different coverage. It provides hours of commercial-free football every Sunday of the season, with coverage of all of the games. Throughout the day of football, the broadcast switches to different games so that all fans can have a chance at seeing the teams that they love. While the channel mostly focuses on the games within the season, there will be select nights during the preseason where they will show coverage of preseason games. Nevertheless, even though NFL Network and NFL RedZone are different channels, they can be accessed on your desktop through the same subscription.
How do you find NFL Network online?
To find NFL Network online, you have to go onto the NFL website. You can click “Network” on the top bar of the website, or go to nfl.com/network. Along with being the place to subscribe to and watch the live programming, you can see the upcoming schedule, descriptions of all of the shows, and more.
How do you login to and watch NFL Network on desktop?
In order to watch NFL Network, you have to be a subscriber. If you are already subscribed to the channel on your television, you will go to the subscribe option on the website, then scroll down to authenticate. Then, you find your provider, login, and then you have online access. This is also the way to watch NFL Network if you are a Hulu subscriber with the Hulu+Live TV package. Anyone with this subscription can watch NFL Network with no extra purchases. If you are not already subscribed or do not have the Hulu plan, you click subscribe on top of the web page, then click your provider from the list that pops up, which should have you log in to your provider and purchase the network as a part of your television plan. From then on, you will be able to simply login on the website when you are ready to watch the action.
How do you login to and watch NFL Network on mobile?
If you want to watch NFL Network on your phone, that wish has been made easier with the recent development of the NFL+ app, which is available in all app stores for people living in the United States. There is a basic and premium plan for the app, with the former costing $6.99 a month and the latter being $14.99 a month. The basic plan provides the NFL Network along with live local and primetime games, live game audio, ad-free highlights, an on demand NFL Library, and more. The premium plan has everything previously mentioned along with NFL RedZone. While watching on mobile involves a small screen, the app might be the easiest way for people to get all of the football coverage that they love.
