Though chances are slim for the 6-8 Dallas Cowboys to make the playoffs this year, they’re holding on to hope, especially after last week’s win over the Carolina Panthers. Whether they can squeeze out another win in week 16 will be determined when they host the 8-6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers for this week’s Sunday Night Football game at AT&T Stadium. The Bucs are still sitting atop the NFC South but haven’t secured a playoff spot yet, so the game will be a crucial win for either team. This week’s Sunday Night Football game’s kickoff will be at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. The post-game wrap-up show, Peacock Sunday Night Football Final, will air immediately following the game on Peacock.

How to watch every NFL game this season:

Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna). A $7/month subscription to NFL+ will get you access to NFL Network which can be great for watching some games, but the downside of NFL+ is that when it comes to the regular season, it’s just local and primetime games (and only on mobile or tablet!). In which case, here’s what we recommend to watch the NFL.

Fubo TV gives you access to ESPN, NFL Network, Fox, ABC, CBS and 100+ more live channels. At $80/month, the live TV streaming service is definitely a big investment for football fans. But it offers nearly every channel you’ll need to watch the NFL season, and still leaves you with major savings compared to a traditional cable package. Fubo subscribers also get 1000 hours of cloud DVR storage.

Right now you can get $30 off any Fubo tier for your first month.
