Packers Huddle

Hi all.

I’m back in the US after three years overseas. Watching Packer football was really challenging from Africa. But it should be much easier now. Wife and I are sort of retired. We want our football but we are not going to spend a truckload of money on television. She is still, stubbornly, a Bronco fan. But I am faithful Green and Gold!

Has anybody here really figured out the best way to watch all of the Packer games this year? I don’t need or want Sunday Ticket at $65/month or more. I do have my VPN, so I can change my locality online to find the “local” games.

Any wisdom is appreciated, especially if it saves me doing exhaustive research. God bless the Packers and PackerNation in 2022!

I just found this web site and it seems to have a lot of great info.

NFL+ ($29.99/year) and NFL+ Premium ($79.99/year) also look to be options, at affordable prices. The difference is that Premium allows you to replay games. All games must be the “local” market.

Isn't NFL+ a phone only option? I looked at it but want it on my tv

NFL+ is phone or tablet only and sounds like you may not be able to cast it to your TV. Plus its only primetime games or "local" games.

Otherwise, the best way is to probably sign up for Sling or Fubo. I think they are the cheapest services that will get you local channels. But don't know how they work with assigning what your local market is. Watching both Packers and Broncos each week may be difficult without using a VPN and go around things that way.

I did the NFL+ free trial last week and was able to stream to my TV through the NFL App on Roku just fine. Not sure if regular season games will work differently than the preseason games, but it worked for me.

I’m planning to use the VPN, of course. As I’m in New Mexico, the “local” game will usually not be the Packers. I have Nord, but haven’t ever tried in the the US (yet) to stream a game.

I could likely try to do the Fubo thing with the VPN or NFL+. For a one month cost, if I can’t make the “local” game for the Pack, at least I haven’t burned too much cash. But then, I would return to the question of how to stream the Packers as the local game. (If I can make it work for the Pack, then working for the Broncos wouldn’t be any issue.)
