First-year coach Jim Harbaugh has had a successful season with the 9-6 Chargers and appears poised to lead them to a playoff berth, but after a solid performance from Drake Maye last week against the Buffalo Bills, the 3-12 Pats have gained some momentum as the season draws to a close. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch this week’s Chargers vs. Patriots game and where to find live game-day updates.

How to watch every NFL game this season:
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 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.
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 unlimited cloud DVR storage.
Right now you can get $30 off any Fubo tier for your first month.
