What Channel Is the Steelers Chiefs Game on
What better way to digest your turkey feast than on the couch in front of a football game? No matter how early you eat your Thanksgiving dinner, the odds are good that a game will be on. The first game between the winless Detroit Lions and 3-7 Chicago Bears might lead you into a Thanksgiving nap since each team is terrible and expected to start a backup quarterback, but from there, things improve. Up next, the 7-3 Dallas Cowboys host the 5-5 Las Vegas Raiders before the nightcap in New Orleans between the 5-5 Saints and 6-4 Buffalo Bills.
Here's the Thanksgiving NFL schedule:
- Lions vs. Bears: 12:30 p.m. ET (9:30 a.m. PT) on Fox
- Cowboys vs. Raiders: 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) on CBS
- Saints vs. Bills get: 8:20 p.m. ET (5:20 p.m. PT) on NBC
Here's how to watch Thursday's games, as well as the rest of the NFL season, without cable.

Major streaming providers such as YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV, FuboTV and DirecTV Stream offer nearly all the major channels you will need for football. This includes CBS, NBC and Fox, as well as ESPN, which is needed for Monday Night Football.
Sling TV offers NBC and Fox in some markets with its Blue package, but it lacks CBS. It's also worth noting that to get ESPN you will either need to switch to its Orange package or go for its Blue and Orange bundle.
Those who are fine with watching on phones or tablets, meanwhile, can also use the Yahoo Sports app to stream the games that are broadcast on your local stations for free.

What about RedZone and the NFL Network?
All of those services above, with the exception of DirecTV Stream, offer the option to get RedZone and the NFL Network. RedZone will usually require you to spend another $10 or $11 per month as an add-on.
If RedZone is all you care about, the cheapest option is getting Sling TV Blue for $35 a month and adding the $11-per-month Sports Extra add-on. This gets you all the football channels with the exception of ESPN and CBS.
How about Thursday Night Football?
Most Thursday Night Football games will be broadcast on Fox, NFL Network and Amazon Prime Video. Check out the full Thursday Night Football schedule here and our recommendations for thebest ways to watch NFL without cable throughout the season.
What about Paramount Plus?
Paramount Plus offers live CBS feeds with its Premium tier for $10 a month. Depending on where you live, however, your local CBS station (and those NFL games) might not be available. CBS offers livestreaming services in many markets; you can check if your area has live CBS streaming here.
What about Peacock?
All of NBC's regular-season NFL games will be available to stream on its Peacock streaming service, so long as you pay for one of its Premium subscriptions.
There are two of these tiers, a $5-a-month Premium option that has ads (when watching nonlive content) and a $10-per-month Premium Plus option that will stream nonlive content ad-free (and let you download some content to watch offline).
Sling TV
Carries NBC, Fox and NFL Network for $35 a month
Sling TV's $35-a-month Blue plan includes NBC, Fox and the NFL Network. Enter your address here to see which local channels are available where you live.
Note: This version of Sling TV does not include ESPN. For that, you'll need to switch to the similarly priced Orange plan or go for the combined $50-per-month Orange and Blue bundle. RedZone is also available for an extra $11 a month.

Amazon Prime Video
Carries Thursday Night Football games only
Most Thursday Night games will be available on Amazon Prime Video. For millions of Amazon Prime subscribers, the Prime Video channel is already included at no extra cost. But if you're not a subscriber, it might be worth it to shell out the $9 a month for the stand-alone TV service fee.
All of the live TV streaming services above offer free trials (except Peacock, which just has a free tier that doesn't stream live NFL games), allow you to cancel anytime and require a solid internet connection. Looking for more information? Check out our live-TV streaming services guide.
