Still figuring out how to watch the remaining NFL Playoff games? One way to catch some of the action is Paramount+. Read on for a quick guide on how to use Paramount+ to watch NFL Playoff action online.
How to Watch NFL Playoffs on Paramount+
Paramount+ offers livestreams of NFL on CBS games, making it a great way to catch football without cable.
Subscribers can stream NFL games with either of the Paramount+ plans. The cheaper option is Paramount+ Essential, which starts at $7.99 a month. You can also upgrade to Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, which offers content downloading capabilities, SHOWTIME originals, and livestreams of your local CBS station (not just certain sports events, as you get with Essential). Paramount+ with SHOWTIME costs $12.99 a month. Both plans start with a seven-day free trial you can grab here.
Once you’re signed up for either of the Paramount+ plans, you’ll be able to livestream NFL Playoff games shown on CBS — including the AFC Championship this weekend.
