In what will surely be one of the biggest games of the current NFL season, the Minnesota Vikings will play the Detroit Lions for the NFC North division title this Sunday night. With both teams holding a 14-2 record this season, Sunday's matchup features the most combined wins for any regular-season game in NFL history. To add to the history-making stats, the winner of Sunday night's game will become the ninth NFL team ever to finish a regular season with 15 or more wins, while the loser will have the most wins of any wild-card team in history. All this and we're not even in the playoffs yet.

This week's Sunday Night Football game's kickoff will be at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. The post-game wrap-up show, Peacock Sunday Night Football Final, will air immediately following the game on Peacock.

Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you're looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna). A $7/month subscription to NFL+ will get you access to NFL Network which can be great for watching some games, but the downside of NFL+ is that when it comes to the regular season, it's just local and primetime games (and only on mobile or tablet!). In which case, here's what we recommend to watch the NFL.

Watch NFL games on ESPN, NFL Network, Fox, NBC, CBS and some RSN's

Fubo TV

Fubo TV gives you access to ESPN, NFL Network, Fox, ABC, CBS and 100+ more live channels. At $80/month, the live TV streaming service is definitely a big investment for football fans. But it offers nearly every channel you'll need to watch the NFL season, and still leaves you with major savings compared to a traditional cable package. Fubo subscribers also get 1000 hours of cloud DVR storage.

Right now you can get $30 off any Fubo tier for your first month.
