watch nfl on chromecast

Cooler temperatures, changing leaves, and the re-emergence of pumpkin-spiced everything can only mean one thing– football season is finally here! If you want live football without the long-term relationship of cable or satellite, Chromecast may be just the solution you need. Watch the NFL on Chromecast devices with several different streaming services including fuboTV (free 7 day trial), Hulu with Live TV, and Sling TV.

To watch the  NFL on Chromecast in 2020 here’s what you need to know:

  1. Sign up for a streaming service that offers live NFL games.
  2. Login to the streaming service on your phone or computer, or simply cast to your Chromecast device (costing around $30 depending on model).
  3. Login and cast to Chromecast on game day!

If you try streaming a live NFL game from your phone and you have trouble, you’re not alone. The NFL still doesn’t let most streaming services show live games on mobile devices, forcing you to use the NFL Mobile app. But, it’s simple to work around this. Just stream the game on your computer and then cast to Chromecast.

Each streaming service has its own quirks. Here’s what you need to know about streaming the NFL on Chromecast in 2020 on some of the most popular streaming services for live NFL games.
