256 regular-season games and the entire NFL Playoffs led to this upcoming weekend, Super Bowl LIV. In this day and age, you don’t just consume the NFL on a TV. You can get injury updates, fantasy scores, and more through apps and the web. You can even watch games on the go depending on your subscriptions and which company is broadcasting the game you want to see. You won’t want to miss a second of the big game, so make sure to grab these Windows 10 apps.

The rest of the apps in this collection allow you to watch or listen to content on Internet-connected devices, but if you want to add depth to the games you watch, you need to use Twitter. Reporters, bloggers, and video makers are all on Twitter and active during NFL games and throughout the week. Using Tweeten, which is available on PCs, lets you watch the news and insight roll in live.
TuneIn Radio allows you to listen to a wide range of content, from music to sports. If you subscribe to TuneIn Premium, you gain access to live play-by-play broadcasts of every NFL game. You also get the same broadcasts for NBA, NHL, and MLB games in addition to removing display ads.
Hulu with Live TV allows you to watch a wide variety of live content, including some NFL games. While a large number of viewers will have access to the big game through Hulu with Live TV, it’s worth confirming that you’ll get it in your area before subscribing by checking Hulu’s website. Hulu’s Windows 10 app is a progressive web app which supports live TV. Still, you can also view it from your web browser.
Sling TV is very popular with cord-cutters and has an excellent app on Windows 10. Sling TV has a guide on how to watch football with Sling TV, including NFL RedZone, ESPN, FS1, and the NFL Network. The Blue+Sports Extra package is recommended for NFL fans, but there are several other combinations you can choose. If you also love college football, you can get Sling Orange+Sling Blue+Sports Extra.
While there are many great apps for consuming NFL content, the best way to view some things is directly through a browser. For example, if you subscribe to YouTube TV or CBS’s stream you’ll need to have a browser handy to watch the Super Bowl on your PC. Any good browser will do, but I like Vivaldi for its convenient picture-in-picture mode.
Sports panelist Woody Paige always emphasizes that you “look at the schedule!” when talking about sports. The same holds true for watching the NFL. Outlook Calendar lets you subscribe to calendars, including the NFL’s calendar, to make sure that you never miss a big game, or in this case, the big game. You’ll have to set this up on Outlook.com and then can view them in the Mail and Calendar app.
The Super Bowl is the pinnacle of the NFL’s 100th season. This year the 49ers square off against the Chiefs in what looks to be an excellent matchup. While most of these apps will help you watch games live, one of the best ways to enhance your NFL experience is to use Tweeten. The Tweetdeck client will make sure that you’re up to date on the game as well as any trending topics. You never know when a player will break a record or an upset will happen. Using Tweeten will ensure that you get all the NFL coverage that you’d like.
The app that you should use to watch NFL games depends largely on if you already have a subscription to a service and which games you’d like to watch. But if you’re starting from scratch or you just cut the cord, Sling TV is an excellent option. The Sling Blue+Sports Extra is a nice package of channels for NFL fans, and if you just love football and want to watch college games as well, you can pick the Sling Orange+Sling Blue+Sports Extra package.
In addition to providing NFL-related content, Tweeten and Sling TV are both excellent apps on Windows 10. They’ll work well with your Windows 10 desktop, laptop, 2-in-1, or tablet.
