Football fans in the U.S. who can't get in front of a television set this weekend will still be able to watch wildcard gridiron action online thanks to generous free Internet streaming plans from most of the stations carrying the NFL playoff games.
Here's a rundown of what to expect this weekend—and beyond.
NBC Sports Live Extra
On Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts face-off on NBC at 4:35 PM Eastern/1:35 PM Pacific, and NBC will also carry the New Orleans Saints vs. the Philadelphia Eagles at 8:10 PM Eastern the same day.
Both games will be live streamed on NBC Sports Live Extra, a streaming service for U.S. residents. Most of the time you need a cable subscription to access Live Extra, but Variety reports that both games will be available for free rather than behind an indirect paywall—repeating NBC's free playoff streaming of last year's wild card games. We're checking with NBC to verify this.
