Summary

Do you miss regular cable TV yet?

If you thought it wascomplicated and expensive a few years ago, things are about to get worse.

Sling TV and YouTube TV might be a cable replacement, but they are still fundamentally subscription streaming services.

NFL only on Netflix for Christmas 2024.

Netflix / NFL

Without those core five, you’re in for an even bigger mess.

Potentially, you might need up to ten different apps and streaming services just to watch all the games.

Gone are the days of using cable TV to watch football or getting the NFL Sunday Ticket from DirecTV.

Plus, ESPN+ will host and air an undecided exclusive as well.

So much for cutting the cord; now it’s a requirement.

And it’ll cost even more if you choose a higher ad-free plan for Peacock or Netflix.

Technically, if you cancel cable and don’t have YouTube TV, the situation gets worse.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

The old days of watching NFL football are long gone.

Those games are exclusively airing on those services only.

But I can say this.
