The 2020 NFL season is fully underway, and it’s been great so far! If you’re like many people, you might think you can watch NFL games on Roku free without cable or satellite simply by adding the NFL channel app. While that will work on your mobile device, streaming rights forbid free streaming on televisions so that won’t work unfortunately. I know… I know… it’s confusing!

Luckily, there are a number of other ways you can easily, cheaply, and legally stream NFL on Roku this season, such as with fuboTV (free 7-day trial). Below, we’ll take a quick look at your options for watching NFL on Roku players to get you started.

Watch NFL Games on Roku Using fuboTV

This is about as easy as it gets. If you think of Roku as your cable box replacement, then think of fuboTV as your cable TV replacement. When you sign up for and open the fuboTV Roku channel, you’ll find it basically operates like cable. You have a channel guide. You have a cloud DVR. And you have all the channels you need to watch NFL on Roku: NBC, CBS, FOX, ESPN, and NFL Network.
