I’m trying to figure out the cheapest / best way to watch every game for specific out of market teams. I don’t particularly care about watching games live. I would be perfectly content to wait hours after the game and then watch a commercial-free replay.
As far as I can tell, NFL+ Premium says you get the red zone, NFL Network, and then three different views of every single game: regular broadcast, all 22, and condensed 30-minute snap-to-whistle “shorties”, as I call them.
At $20 per month or $100 per year this seems like my cheapest alternative. I’m just wondering if I would get to watch those versions of the games I’m looking for later that day or is it next day or what.
So to anybody who has NFL+ Premium, here are my specific questions:
Do you have access to every single game from last week? I’m particularly curious about specialty broadcasts like London games, Peacock games, and Amazon games.
How long after out-of-market games have concluded before they become available? What time are the 1:00 games available, 4:00, night games, etc…
For context, I just fired up last night’s MNF game between my beloved Giants and the Steelers about a half hour ago. So that’s like 6 hours after the game ended. (Please, no spoilers! Let me enjoy what is sure to be another Giant humiliation in peace.)
Not that long. Under an hour. The full replay and the condensed replay are available about an hour after the game ends. The all-22 takes another half day or so to show up.
Sometimes, just to go to certain plays or sequences. There’s no sound, and you see every play twice, once from a zoomed-out side angle, and then immediately again from behind the offense, from the stadium camera above the end zones. You wouldn’t want to watch a whole game that way.
With just NFL+ Premium, can I watch game replays (an hour or so after the game ends) on my TV using a roku stick? Or is it only available on phone and tablet?
I just now went to sign up for a year, figuring June is a good starting and stopping time if I’m getting a full year. But I keep seeing “phone or tablet only” and I’m getting nervous.
To reiterate, I don’t care about live games. I’m just looking to watch replays on my TV.
The only alternative I’m seeing is Sunday Ticket, which is a massive expense: over $100 per month when you factor in that it’s only available on YoutubeTV, which itself is like $80 a month. (They “generously” give you a $20/month discount for two months for new users. Returning users can go pound sand.)
I don’t have it anymore so I can’t verify anything for you but I’m pretty sure the “phone or tablet only” stuff is just for the few live games that are available via the subscription. There was never a time that I had it where I couldn’t watch all the games the next day.
I’ve had NFL+ for 2 seasons and use it on my laptop. The worst thing about it is you have to check if the hide scores button is selected. Usually it is, sometimes it isn’t. Also, the condensed games are great.
