Baseball season is officially over and the NFL has the spotlight all to itself.

With football season now half over and only two teams—the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots—still sporting perfect records, teams are beginning to focus on the playoff picture.

It’s an early start this week for NFL games, with the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars kicking things off at 9:30 a.m. ET from Wembley Stadium in London—the last of this year’s NFL International Series games.

The week’s games end with NFC East rivals the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants going head to head on Monday night. Here’s a look at who’s playing this week—and several different options for viewing games.

Which NFL teams are playing this week? And what channels are airing the games?

Don’t forget to set an alarm Sunday morning, as the action starts at 9:30 a.m. ET, rather than 1 p.m. The upside, though, is it should be pretty easy to eat and breath football all day.

Here’s who’s playing this week. (The home team is listed second.)

How can I watch my local NFL team for free—even if I am out of market?

The best way to watch any NFL game for free on a big screen is with a good HD antenna. Local and regional games are broadcast by CBS, NBC and Fox, meaning you’ve got a good chance of capturing the game over the air, which costs nothing beyond the equipment prices. Be sure to test the antenna in multiple locations in your home to find the most reliable signal.

How can I stream NFL games live online if I don’t have a cable subscription?

There are loads of online options to watch NFL games, some completely free and others with free trial periods. If you’re not near a TV, you can log into Fox.com to watch the game or use the Fox Now app. CBS offers its All Access streaming service, which has a one week free trial, followed by a $6 monthly charge. And NBC’s Web site and apps will let you watch live programming on the go. Another option? Yahoo Sports and the NFL have teamed to stream live NFL games on mobile devices this year. Just download the Yahoo Sports app or Yahoo Fantasy Football mobile app and watch all local and primetime games on phones and tablets. Prefer another method? Here are a few that work just as well.

Locast.org: This free service lets you watch local broadcast channels with no monthly fees or contracts. The hiccup is: It only services part of the country.

PlayStation Vue: The free trial is 5 days. Subscription packages start at $50 per month.

Hulu with Live TV: You can try the service free for a week. Once that’s up, you’ll pay $45 per month.

YouTube TV: After a seven day trial, you can expect monthly charges of $50.

Fubo TV: This sports-focused cord cutting service carries CBS in most markets. There’s a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly charges of $55.

NFL Weekly Watch — New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (13) is tackled by Arizona Cardinals cornerback Byron Murphy (33) and outside linebacker Haason Reddick (43) during the game between the New Orleans Saints and the Arizona Cardinals on October 27, 2019 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, LA.

Can I watch NFL games on Amazon?

If you’ve got an Amazon Prime subscription, you can now catch a limited number of match-ups. The online retailer has struck a deal with NBC to air select Thursday night games from now through December 12 (Jets vs. Ravens). The next game, on Nov. 7, will feature the Los Angeles Chargers vs. the Oakland Raiders. All games will be featured in the Prime Video section. (If you don’t have Prime, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial.)

Does the NFL offer any viewing packages to watch the games I want?

Kind of. The NFL App will let you stream games that are being broadcast locally in your market on Sundays. If you want to watch an ‘out of market’ game, you’ve got two choices.

NFL Game Pass: There are couple hitches with this service. You can’t use it to watch live games, but you can watch anything once its main broadcast ends. There’s a seven day free trial, after which you’re looking at a $100 charge per season.

NFL Sunday Ticket: DirecTV customers have access to it, but if you’re not a subscriber and live in an area where it’s not available, you can watch any NFL game live, online or on TV $73.49 per month or $293.36 for the entire season.
