AT&T TV is one of the most popular live TV streaming services that has many popular channels, and it is called DirecTV Stream now. However, NFL Network is not offered in all DirecTV Stream plans. Below is a step-by-step guide on how you can watch NFL Network with DirecTV Stream.
Check If Your DirecTV Stream Package Includes NFL Network
The first thing to do is therefore look at the current package on DirecTV Stream. NFL Network, however, is not part of the lower tiers such as Entertainment and Choice but it may be part of the more expensive packages.
Specifically, NFL Network is included in these DirecTV Stream packages:
- Premier
- Ultimate
- Optimo Mas
Therefore, if you already have one of these packages, you should already have NFL Network and no action is required.
Upgrade to a Package with NFL Network
But if it is not in the current lineup, then you will have to switch to a package that has NFL Network. As mentioned above the Premier, Ultimate, and Optimo Mas packages all come with NFL Network.
Here is a quick comparison of what is included with each package:
- Premier ($149. 99/month): Offers more than 140 channels and NFL Network. Most flexible option for the majority of sports fans interested in NFL Network.
- Ultimate ($104. 99/month): Offers over 140 channels such as NFL Network. Meant for Spanish-speaking households.
- Optimo Mas ($124. 99/month): Yet another package designed for the Hispanic consumers. Also includes NFL Network.
As mentioned above, Premier offers you the most variety, while Ultimate and Optimo Mas are more inclined to Spanish shows. Since all three offer NFL Network, choose your pick based on the following factors: subscription cost, language, and other household considerations.
Switching from one package to another is a simple process, which can be done through the online portal or the DirecTV Stream application.
Use Your DirecTV Stream Device Credentials on the NFL App
But even if you don’t want to upgrade packages, there is another nifty way to watch NFL Network without additional charges – by signing in with your DirecTV Stream account in the NFL app.
Here are the steps:
1. Ensure you download and install the NFL app on your streaming gadget, smartphone, tablet, or connected television.
2. Open the NFL app and choose to sign in with your TV provider.
3. Choose DirecTV Stream as your provider.
4. First, log in with your DirecTV Stream account credentials, such as email address and password.
After logging in with your credentials, NFL Network is included with your subscription right in the NFL app, which means you can watch a lot of the programming that was only available to those subscribed to NFL Network in their cable package.
This trick effectively allows you to get NFL Network for free if you’re already a DirecTV Stream customer.
Add NFL Network Through Premier Streaming Services
If the above options are not feasible, then the final way to get the NFL Network is to combine your DirecTV Stream with another streaming service such as Sling TV.
To be precise, the Blue package of Sling TV has NFL Network available for $40 per month. But you can keep the base tier of DirecTV Stream to have it always and subscribe to Sling TV Blue only during football season to watch the latest shows, analysis, and news from the NFL Network.
FuboTV is also a good choice offering NFL Network in its Pro package.
It does mean paying for two services, but in the long run, it can be cheaper than upgrading to the best DirecTV Stream package. And then weigh these costs to establish if it provides the aspect of saving you money while accorded the NFL Network.
Summary
Hopefully, this article provided a clear explanation of the primary methods to add NFL Network with your DirecTV Stream subscription. To recap:
1. Choose Premier, Ultimate, or Optimo Mas subscription
2. It is recommended to use DirecTV Stream credentials in the NFL app.
