How to Watch Dolphins Games as Cheap as Possible
In Market
You can check here to see which local games are in your market. Primetime games are always considered “in-market.”
If your goal is to watch every Dolphins game at the lowest possible total cost, here’s our step-by-step recommendation on what to do:
- Before the Fox games (Weeks 14 and 17), sign up for a different free trial of Fox One or Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”
- If you don’t have free trials available, sign up for Fox One for $20 per month.
- Before the Week 15 game (ESPN primetime), sign up for a free trial of Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”.
- If you don’t have any free trials available, sign up for a Sling Orange Day Pass for $5.
- Before the Week 16 game (NBC primetime), sign up for a free trial of Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”.
- If you don’t have any free trials available, sign up for one month of Peacock “Premium” for $11.
- Before the Week 15 and 18 games, sign up for a different free trial of Paramount+ “Essential” or Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”
- If you don’t have free trials available, sign up for Paramount+ for $8 per month.
That’s it. Depending on the free trials you have available, that’s somewhere between $5 and $44 to watch every remaining Dolphins game.
Also note: You can sign up for NFL+ for just $7 per month and watch every in-market and primetime game. However, you can only watch games live on your phone or tablet. They’ll be blocked (until they’re available as replays) on your TV or PC.
Out of Market
If the Dolphins play outside your market, here’s a step-by-step guide to watch every game for as cheap as possible:
- Before Week 14, sign up for NFL Sunday Ticket to watch every non-primetime out-of-market game.
- It was on sale, but it’s unfortunately now back up to $150 for the rest of the season.
- Before the Week 15 game (ESPN primetime), sign up for a free trial of Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”.
- If you don’t have any free trials available, sign up for a Sling Orange Day Pass for $5.
- Before the Week 16 game (NBC primetime), sign up for a free trial of Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”.
- If you don’t have any free trials available, sign up for one month of Peacock “Premium” for $11.
Canada & International
This one’s pretty simple: If you live outside of the United States (excluding China), you can sign up for NFL Game Pass on DAZN and watch every single NFL game live.
The pricing depends on your country.
How to Watch Dolphins Games With as Few Streaming Services as Possible
In Market
If you aren’t as concerned with price and simply want to minimize the amount of streaming services you sign up for, sign up for one of these:
All of these will give you access to dozens of live TV channels, including CBS, Fox and NBC in most markets, as well as ESPN. If you’re in market, that’ll give you every remaining Dolphins game.
All of these streaming services offer first-month deals, and there are free trials for Fubo, DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV available if you want to mix and match to cut down the total price a bit.
But if you simply want one service for the rest of the season, we would go with Fubo.
Out of Market
For the out-of-market fans, this option isn’t really different than the one above. You’ll still need NFL Sunday Ticket for all of the non-primetime games that are televised on CBS or Fox.
Then, for the primetime games in Week 15 (ESPN) and Week 16 (NBC), you’ll need Sling Orange Day Pass and Peacock “Premium”, respectively. Or, you could sign up for a live-TV streaming service, such as Fubo “Pro”, to watch both.
