How to watch Week 1 of the NFL without cable

This post is sponsored by Fubo.

Welcome, NFL fans. The 2024-5 NFL season is upon us, and a strong storyline has written itself.

This week, the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs begin their campaign to win their third consecutive Super Bowl. But they have to get past Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1 first. The Ravens are primed for a revenge game against the Chiefs, to whom they lost the AFC title last season. (This is also the first chance for fans to see Taylor Swift this season at a Chiefs game, if she does show up.)

This week fans will also see Saquon Barkley playing for the Philadelphia Eagles and Odell Beckham Jr. on the field with the Miami Dolphins.

My favorite way to watch Week 1 NFL football games is Fubo. The live TV streaming service offers access to all games aired this season on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and ESPN. Best of all, Fubo is currently offering a promotion where you can save $30 on the first month of any subscription level.
