How to watch NFL Week 1 without cable

This post is sponsored by Fubo.

Welcome back, NFL fans. The 2024-2025 NFL season is here and the most intense plots are already being written.

This week, the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs begin their campaign to win their third straight Super Bowl. But first they’ll have to get past Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. The Ravens are set for a rematch against the Chiefs, to whom they lost the AFC title last season. (It’s also the first chance for fans to see Taylor Swift at a Chiefs game this season, if she shows up.)

This week, fans will also get their first look at Saquon Barkley playing for the Philadelphia Eagles and Odell Beckham Jr. on the field for the Miami Dolphins.
