NFL Week 1 Live Stream: Guide for Watching Raiders vs. Patriots Online Today
The much-anticipated Raiders-Patriots game is just around the corner, set to air on CBS on Sunday, September 7, at 1 p.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to stream the game, bypass blackout restrictions, and ensure a smooth viewing experience.
Since the game will be broadcast on CBS, you have several streaming options at your disposal. Services like Fubo, YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, and Paramount Plus all offer CBS as part of their packages.
Fubo's new Sports plan, priced at $56 per month, includes CBS, ABC, Fox (but not NBC), ESPN, and the NFL Network, along with access to ESPN's new streaming app. YouTube TV, at $83 a month, offers all the major football channels, including CBS, and allows the addition of RedZone for an extra $11 per month. DirecTV Stream's basic $85-a-month Entertainment package includes CBS in most markets.
Paramount Plus' Essentials tier, priced at $8 per month, allows streaming of the Raiders-Pats game and the rest of CBS' Sunday afternoon football schedule each week of the season. If you want to stream the game on your smart TV, you can check if your area has live CBS streaming on Paramount Plus here.
For those looking for a VPN option, ExpressVPN is currently the best pick for a reliable and safe service. ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and its prices for the Basic tier start at $3.49 a month on a two-year plan.
Using a VPN can help bypass blackout restrictions and watch the game from anywhere in the US. However, it's important to ensure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks. When using a VPN, make sure both the device and the streaming service account are set to the correct viewing area.
Remember, using a VPN is legal as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. Streaming services may terminate accounts that are circumventing blackout restrictions, so it's crucial to follow the guidelines provided by your VPN provider.
Some smart TVs may not have VPN apps that can be installed directly on the device; instead, the VPN may need to be installed on the router or the mobile hotspot being used. Browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so using a privacy-first browser like Brave is recommended when logging into services.
Lastly, an over-the-air antenna connected to your TV can provide another option for CBS, with no monthly fees required, but good reception is necessary.
Enjoy the Raiders-Patriots game, and happy streaming!
