CBS to Stream NFL Playoff Games to Macs and Tablets for First Time

[kkamann]

So will this be available on the CBS or CBSSports app?

I want to watch the Chiefs game, but they're on NBC. I'm in a difficult situation where I may be on the road (4 hour road trip). I can have my wife drive for a bit towards the end of the trip so that I can stream the game, and I have the NFL Sunday Ticket app. Does anyone here have experience with that and know if that game will be shown? I'm not sure if that app shows playoff games at all (since they may assume you can watch it on the major network) and/or if they might block it if there's a blackout (even though I'm not in either the KC or Indianapolis market). Anyone know?

NBC has been streaming all of it's NFL games the last few years via it's website.

Well according to the latest weather forecast the high temp in Green Bay on Sunday is supposed to be -2F. That's brutal even for Green Bay.

That's what beer, booze and green and gold paint are for

CBS does it for March Madness, so why not the NFL playoffs?

Agreed. And they do it for every single game.

Odd this has taken so long.

Except if you're not a fan of green and gold (most Minnesotans aren't).

According to the networks and the AP, CBS and NBC will stream to everyone for free. FOX still requires you to be a cable/satellite subscriber in order to view the live stream.

I will watch NFL when they allow gun manufacters to advertise during their games. Until then football season is over when FL State and Auburn leave the field.

You will never watch a single NFL game ever.

Not a judgment, merely an observation.

Have a nice day!

The current game is on NBC not CBS

 

[Zoboomafoo]

The current game is on NBC not CBS

why is an AFC game on NBC?

 

[swiftaw]

why is an AFC game on NBC?

NBC gets two of the wild card games (one AFC, one NFC)

Works for me!

I couldn't find it in the app either. However, it's available at http://cbssports.com/nfl Look for the "Watch Live Now" button. Fairly small video window in Safari on my iPad

Edit: in Safari on my MBP, I can use video controls to full screen the window...can't seem to do this in Safari on the iPad.

Does not seem to work on the iPad in Safari.

Not working

Can't seem to get this to work. Tried on Mac, iPad, even my Windows/Boot Camp setup...various browsers...all I get is a blank window. Would love to stream these games to my iPad and then AirPlay it to my Apple TV.

It worked for me on my iMac. The CBS site had link buttons to click, after which the game showed in a new window. In fact, I used AirDisplay 2 to put that web page onto my iPad screen, while I was working on my iMac doing other things!

I always struggled with the NFL game pass blackouts, and it got to a point when it was super annoying. I decided to look for ways to bypass it, and just my luck, I found a hack. I use my Surfshark account for it, but I'm pretty sure any other VPN will work as well: https://medium.com/@tarrersandam/how-to-bypass-nfl-game-pass-blackouts-290a7af577b5
