Football season kicks off on September 9, and cord-cutters are searching for affordable ways to watch every NFL game. According to ESPN, the New York Giants have 70-1 odds to win the Super Bowl this year, but fans remain hopeful.

For budget-conscious viewers, an Over-the-Air (OTA) digital antenna is the cheapest option for local games. These antennas range from $15 to $150 and require no monthly subscription fees. NBC and ESPN cover Sunday and Monday Night Football respectively, but cord-cutters need alternative solutions.

Streaming services offer various NFL packages. NFL+ costs $6.99 per month for mobile devices or $14.99 for TV viewing. Paramount+ offers an Essential Plan at $8.99 monthly for AFC regional games, while Peacock's Premium subscription at $12.99 covers Sunday Night Football. FOX One provides NFC coverage for $19.99 per month.

For complete access to all 285 regular and postseason games, YouTube TV Sports Plan starts at $54.99/month, Hulu + Live TV at $89.99/month, Fubo at $64.99/month, and Sling requires both Blue and Orange plans. YouTube TV's NFL Sunday Ticket add-on costs $240 per season for new users.

The cost-saving strategy combines an OTA antenna for local games with a premium NFL+ subscription, which includes NFL Red Zone for comprehensive Sunday afternoon coverage.
