How to Watch Rams vs. Lions Playoff Game Without Cable
NBC will be broadcasting tonight’s Rams vs. Lions game on cable TV, but cord-cutters can livestream the game on Peacock or using one of the NBC-equipped live TV streaming services below.
Stream Rams vs. Lions on DirecTV Stream
DirecTV Stream carries NBC and over 100 other channels in its Choice package, making it a good way to livestream the Rams vs. Lions game tonight. Plus, unlike Peacock, DirecTV Stream offers a free trial that you can use to watch the game for free. After the five-day trial period, payment will kick in at $83.99 a month for two months, and then $108.99 a month after that.
Stream Rams vs. Lions on fuboTV
Another great live TV streaming service with a free trial is fuboTV, which carries NBC in all of its streaming packages. Fubo’s free trial lasts for one day, and then packages start at $74.99 a month. If you go for their most affordable plan — the Entertainment package — you’ll get a total of more than 180 channels, besides NBC.
Stream Rams vs. Lions on Peacock
Peacock is the cheapest streaming service showing tonight’s game, but they don’t offer a free trial. Peacock offers two plans: Premium and Premium Plus. Premium costs $5.99 a month and gets you all of the streamer’s on-demand content, as well as live sports and events. Premium Plus is $11.99 a month but removes ads on on-demand content and gets you a 24-hour simulcast of your local NBC channel.
