Sports fans who want to cut the cord to cable know one of the challenges is making sure they have a way to watch live sports. Fortunately, there are many streaming services that include the channels needed to catch the action live.
NFL fans know the week starts with the Thursday Night Football game. But Thursday Night Football is also the branding for any NFL games in London, on Christmas Day and for Saturday doubleheaders later in the season.
Thursday Night Football games are only distributed by three media outlets — FOX, NFL Network, and Amazon Prime Video. For fans without cable, there are many live streaming services that will give you access to these outlets.
