Plus, all eyes will be glued to Sunday night’s Giants-Chiefs showdown, to see if the erstwhile Super Bowl Champs can snap out of their slump.
There are multiple streaming options available for most games, so read on to find what you need to watch each one.
NFL Week 3 takes place across five channels, meaning the best streaming options are comprehensive Internet TV services like fuboTV (free trial) and DirecTV (free trial). Here’s a breakdown:
*Peacock includes national televised games on NBC, but otherwise does not include your live, local NBC channel.
**Add a digital antenna to Sling to pick up locals like NBC, CBS, FOX and ABC
Our top pick is fuboTV, which includes a 5-day free trial that will let you watch all of the Week 3’s NFL games for free, if you start your trial on Thursday, September 18.
