The NFL playoffs are games that bring a lot of excitement to fans especially after the situation intensifies and we get the Super Bowl contenders. It is that time of the year when NFL fans cheer for their favorite team to reach the Super Bowl and possibly win the championship trophy.
The NFL Playoffs are already on the go and the situation between the teams is boiling on high heat. If you go to the TwinSpires Edge website you can download a printable playoff bracket to keep track of the results.
Since we are talking about an US sport, most broadcasters are American-based and people from other locations have a tough time securing an official live feed of all the playoff games.
Opposite to MLS and NBA, Canada has no teams in the NFL. So, you can struggle to find a TV channel or streaming service that is available in Canadian territory. Check out all the legal options below.
When it comes to watching NFL games there are a few free options that you can try, but since there might be some legal implications, you need to use a VPN.
A Virtual Private Network will allow you to change your digital location to anywhere in the world, which opens up opportunities for watching the NFL playoffs.
Once you download and install a VPN on your device, you should look for broadcasters that provide NFL coverage. Here are the best options for watching the NFL Playoffs.
This is an online streaming platform that gives you access to most US-based channels that cover the NFL playoffs for free. This is NOT a geo-restricted service, but it is still advisable to use a VPN due to legality issues.
You don’t need to create an account or sign up with a credit card. Just head over to ustvgo.tv and watch your favorite games for free.
The Official NFL App provides coverage of prime-time games, breaking news, highlights, and more NFL goodness. However, it is only accessible with a portable device like smartphones and tablets, so make sure you install a VPN just so you can change the location to the United States.
Kodi is an application that allows you to install different broadcasters from all around the world and watch every game for free. All you need to do is download and install the Kodi app on your smartphone or TV and look for sports add-ons that will grant you access to your favorite sports channels.
If you are concerned about the illegality of free NFL streams and you want to do things properly, there are a couple of paid options that will give you access to NFL games.
Here we have a global on-demand service for streaming sports, and it offers complete coverage of every NFL game during the regular season and playoffs. Since we are talking about a legal service, there is no need for using a VPN for Canadian residents.
On top of that, DAZN offers a free trial for the first month to test their service, and after that, the monthly plan will cost you 20 CAD.
Sling TV is another streaming service that offers complete coverage of NFL matches through NFL Network, NFL RedZone, and other channels that have licenses to broadcast NFL games. Unfortunately, Sling TV is not available in Canada, but you can bypass the geo-restriction by using a VPN.
The access to every spot channel you can imagine, including 50 other entertainment channels is priced at $30 per month.
This is Google’s take on online live television broadcasting and it does the job very well. YouTube comes with more than 85 channels, including sports channels that broadcast NFL games.
Just like Sling TV, YouTube TV is also geo-restricted, which means that you must use a VPN to change your location to the United States. Their services are also quite expensive coming at $64.99 per month, but you do get a lot for your money.
If none of the mentioned options work for you, you can still get back to the traditional TV channels where all you need is to sign a deal with a Cable TV company.
NFL games in Canada are available on traditional TV channels like TSN and RDS, as well as CTV/CTV2 for Sunday and Thursday Night football.
