The cheapest streaming service that includes every channel that will have a Packers game is Hulu With Live TV. For more info about Hulu With Live TV and other live stream options, read on below.
Following a disappointing 6-9-1 campaign last year, the Green Bay Packers begin the Matt LaFleur Era in 2019.
Packers games this year will be on either Fox (10 games–televised in select markets), CBS (2 games–televised in select markets), NBC (2 games–nationally televised) or ESPN (2 games–nationally televised), while one of the Fox games (Sep. 26 vs. Philadelphia) will also be on Amazon Prime.
If you don’t have cable, you can watch Packers games live on your computer, phone, Roku, Fire TV Stick, Xbox One, PS4 or other streaming device via one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:
In-Market & Nationally Televised Games: Hulu With Live TV
Packers Channels Included: Fox, CBS, NBC, ESPN (Fox, CBS and NBC are available live in Green Bay, Milwaukee and other select markets)
Price: $44.99 per month
Not only is this the cheapest streaming service that includes every channel that will have a Packers game this season, but Hulu With Live TV also comes with Hulu’s extensive Netflix-like on-demand library of TV shows and movies.
You can sign up for Hulu with Live TV right here, and you can then watch Packers games live on your computer via the Hulu website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Echo Show, or other streaming device via the Hulu app.
If you can’t watch a game live, Hulu With Live TV comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR space, as well as the option to upgrade to “Enhanced Cloud DVR,” which gives you 200 hours of space and the ability to fast-forward through commercials.
In-Market & Nationally Televised Games: FuboTV
Packers Channels Included: Fox, CBS, NBC (all available live in Green Bay, Milwaukee and other select markets), NFL Network, NFL RedZone (Sports Plus add-on)
Price: $54.99 per month; $10.99 per month for Sports Plus
ESPN isn’t included, but if you can find a different way to watch those games (there will only be two during the season), FuboTV is a fantastic option. It comes with 100-plus channels in the main bundle, it includes NFL Network and NFL RedZone (Sports Plus add-on), it has some Fox games in 4K and it’s largely tailored towards sports.
You can start a free seven-day trial of FuboTV right here, and you can then watch Packers games live on your computer via the FuboTV website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, or other supported device via the FuboTV app.
If you can’t watch live, FuboTV comes included with 30 hours of cloud DVR space, as well as a 72-hour look-back feature, which will allow you to watch games on-demand within three days of their conclusion, even if you don’t record them.
In-Market & Nationally Televised Games: YouTube TV
Packers Channels Included: Fox, CBS, NBC, ESPN (Fox, CBS and NBC are available live in Green Bay, Milwaukee and other select markets)
Price: $49.99 per month
YouTube TV also includes every channel that will have Packers games, but in order of preference I put it behind both Hulu With Live TV (YouTube TV is more expensive and doesn’t include the huge on-demand TV/movie library) and FuboTV (YouTube TV doesn’t have NFL Network or NFL RedZone).
You can sign up for YouTube TV right here, and you can then watch Packers games live on your computer via the YouTube website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox One or other compatible streaming device via the YouTube app.
If you can’t watch live, YouTube TV comes with included DVR.
Out-of-Market Games
SundayTicket.TV allows you to watch a live stream of games that are out of your market and aren’t nationally televised. The service isn’t widely available, though, as it’s available for people who live in residences that can’t get satellite (apartments, condos, etc.), as well as residents of San Francisco, Philadelphia and New York City. You can check here to see if you’re eligible.
Additionally, most college students can get this service via SundayTicket U.
Once signed up, you can watch games on your computer via the NFL Sunday Ticket website, or you can watch on your phone, tablet or other streaming device via the NFL Sunday Ticket app, which is free to download on many different devices.

Packers 2019 Season Preview
The Packers went 6-9-1 last season, showing head coach Mike McCarthy the door with four games remaining.
Star quarterback Aaron Rodgers started all 16 games, completing 62.3 percent of his passes for 4,442 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Since becoming Green Bay’s starter ahead of the 2008 campaign, Rodgers had thrown fewer than 28 touchdowns in a season just twice — when injuries limited him to nine and seven games, respectively, in 2013 and 2017.
Over the offseason, Green Bay hired 39-year-old Matt LaFleur to take over as head coach. LaFleur had six years of experience as an NFL quarterbacks coach when the Los Angeles Rams hired him as their offensive coordinator in 2017. He held the same position for the Tennessee Titans last year.
In August, ESPN asked LaFleur what the most important aspect of a coach–quarterback relationship is.
“Communication,” he replied. “What do you like? What do you feel comfortable with and what don’t you like? This is the toughest position in sports so the guy better be comfortable pulling the trigger. If you’re not comfortable, you won’t be confident, and if you’re not confident, the play will die.”
LaFleur added that he goes to some of the coaches he’s worked with for advice.
“I still use the guys I’m closest with — Sean [McVay] and Kyle [Shanahan], Zac Taylor,” LaFleur said, per ESPN. “I’m always talking to guys on my staff, Nathaniel Hackett and Mike Pettine, who sat in this seat. But there’s really no former coach. I will say it was great this summer because I worked a camp in California and I ran into Mike Shanahan and I was peppering him with questions all night long.”
Pettine is entering his second season as the team’s defensive coordinator. The Packers ranked 22nd and 18th in points against and yards against last season, having ranked 26th and 22nd the year prior.
They also leapt up the rankings in yards per play (25th to 14th), passing yards allowed (23rd to 12th), and third-down efficiency (28th to 13th).
“It’s all those little things,” Pettine said in August, according to Packers.com. “Last year when we tackled we were breaking down too soon, so we need to close the space better. But at the same time, we don’t want guys to go from one extreme to the other, where now we’re reckless and just going for the ball and missing tackles.
“But the second and third guy in have to have an awareness of the football. That’s something we’re going to be very persistent with our guys about.”
