Here's how to watch Week 14 of the 2023 NFL season and your favorite football teams play online for free—even without a cable subscription.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you can’t deny the Philadelphia Eagles are center spotlight in the NFL this season.

Last year’s Super Bowl runner-ups have been a part of some of the most fascinating games of the year, with solid victories against the Chiefs and the Bills and an absolute drubbing by the 49ers last week. Five weeks ago they beat the Cowboys, but this week a much-improved Dak Prescott and team get their chance at revenge.

Beyond that matchup, there are plenty of games that could set the tone of the 2024 playoffs, which should keep fans glued to whatever screen they happen to be watching on. And your holiday bonus has come in as there are two games being played on Monday.

Here’s a look at how to watch this week’s games.

How can I watch NFL games for free—even if I am out of market?

All you’ll need is a good HD antenna. To ensure you’re getting the most reliable signal (and picture), be sure to test the antenna in multiple locations in your home. Almost every game will be broadcast over the air, though regional blackouts will apply.

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

Yep, and you’ve got all sorts of options for that.

Peacock

NBC’s streaming service will give you access to several games, including tonight’s contest and all upcoming Sunday night matchups. You can get a seven-day free trial, followed by a $6 or $12 monthly charge. (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 $15 per month for all three combined (or $25 per month for no ads on Hulu).

Including Live TV in the bundle bumps the price to $77 per month ($90 with no ads).

Hulu with Live TV

The free trial on this service is no longer offered, either. It will now cost you $77 per month.

YouTubeTV

After up to a two-week trial, you can expect monthly charges of $73. YouTube is also now the home of Sunday Ticket. Prices on that service initially ranged from $300 to $439 for the season, with the current discounts. YouTube, however, recently kicked off a mid-season special, dropping the price for the rest of the year to $174.

Sling TV

Dish Network’s Sling lower-tiered “Orange” plan will run you $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan bumps the cost to $55 per month. The seven-day free trial has disappeared, but the cord-cutting service is offering 50% off of the first month’s bill.

DirecTV Stream

Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow, and AT&T TV, this oft-renamed streaming service will run you $75 per month and up after the free trial option.

Fubo TV

This sports-focused cord-cutting service carries broadcast networks in most markets. There’s a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly charges of $75 and up, depending on the channels you choose.

Can I watch the NFL games on Amazon?

Not today. Amazon has a lock on Thursday Night Football. The next game on the streaming service will be the Los Angeles Chargers taking on the Las Vegas Raiders on Dec. 14.

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

Three, in fact.

NFL App

The NFL App will let you stream games that are being broadcast locally in your market on Sundays. If you want to watch an “out of market” game, you’ve got two choices.

NFL+

Watch live local and out of market games and (with the premium subscription) replays. There’s a seven-day free trial, after which you’re looking at a charge of $6.99 per month (including NFL Network). ($14.99 per month for premium, which includes NFL Network and RedZone.)

NFL Sunday Ticket

As mentioned above, YouTube has taken over broadcast duties for this channel, replacing DirecTV. With the current offered discounts, prices on the service (and the optional NFL Red Zone) currently range from $300 to $439 for the season.
