The Los Angeles Rams are set to face the Detroit Lions today at Ford Field in Detroit. This matchup features quarterbacks Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff competing against their former teams, reminiscent of their previous encounter in the 2024 NFC Wild Card game, where the Lions eliminated the Rams with a narrow 24-23 victory.
The game will kick off on Sunday, September 8, 2024, at 8:20 p.m. ET (5:20 p.m. PT). Fans can watch the matchup on NBC or stream it on Peacock, Sling TV, and other platforms.
For those without cable, there are several options available to watch the game. A subscription to Sling TV is one of the most affordable ways to access NBC for the Rams vs. Lions clash. The Blue tier subscription is required to watch NBC, and the current promotion offers the first month at half price for $30. The Orange + Blue plan, which includes more channels and games, is recommended for $60 normally.
Sling TV also has a promotional offer for four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra plan, available for prepayment at $219, down from $300. Because Sling does not carry CBS, users may consider adding Paramount+ to their package.
Another option for viewers is Fubo, which provides a wide array of live sporting events, including NFL games. Its packages include local CBS and NBC affiliates, with the first month available at a discounted rate starting from $49.99. The service features no contracts, unlimited DVR, and supports streaming on multiple devices.
Peacock is another streaming option where fans can watch NFL games airing on NBC. A yearly subscription to Peacock Premium is priced at $80, offering access to additional content, including exclusive NFL games.
Hulu + Live TV also provides a comprehensive sports package featuring access to 90 channels, including ESPN and unlimited DVR storage for $77 per month after a trial period.
For those who prefer to watch games on mobile, NFL+ offers access to NFL Network and broadcasts for $40 a year, with enhanced features available for an additional fee.
Lastly, fans can utilize an affordable indoor digital antenna to watch network channels like NBC without a monthly fee. These antennas can receive over-the-air HD signals and are particularly useful for households not relying on cable.
As anticipation builds for the game, fans can explore options for merchandise in the Amazon NFL Fan Shop, which features a wide selection of officially licensed gear.
The NFL Week 1 schedule for the 2024-25 season is also available, starting with the Baltimore Ravens facing the Kansas City Chiefs on September 5, followed by a variety of games on September 8, including the highly anticipated Rams vs. Lions matchup in the evening.
