Thanksgiving has three major traditions: turkey, Black Friday bargains, and Detroit Lions football.
Today there are three NFL games on.
Detroit Lions football is the NFL’s longest-running Thanksgiving tradition. The Lions have held a Thanksgiving Day game every year since 1934.
This Thanksgiving is no exception: the Detroit Lions will face the Green Bay Packers today. The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers will play football on Thursday, November 23 at 12:30 p.m. ET (9:30 a.m. PT). The game will be broadcast on Fox and streamed through the ISPs listed below.
While most cable packages include Fox, you can still watch the game if Fox isn’t included in your cable TV subscription, or if you don’t have cable at all. Your best options for watching are below. Streaming options will require an internet provider.
If you don’t have cable TV that includes the NFL Network, NBC, ABC, Fox, or ESPN, one of the most affordable ways to watch live NFL football this season is to subscribe to Sling TV. The Orange + Blue Tier package includes access to the NFL Network, local NBC, Fox, and ABC stations (where available), and ESPN. It’s also worth mentioning that Sling TV includes 50 hours of cloud-based DVR recording space, which is ideal for recording all of the season’s biggest NFL games.
Sling TV is offering a Black Friday discount. That plan generally costs $60 each month, but the streamer is currently running a 50% off promotion for the first month, so you’ll only pay $30. With your subscription.
