The post-Ben Roethlisberger era kicks off for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022.

If you don’t have cable and you live in the Steelers market, you can watch a live stream of every televised game (one game will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video) on FuboTV, which includes CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN, NFL Network, NFL RedZone and comes with a free trial.

That’s the best option if you’re cutting cable, but there are some other alternatives, including some for out-of-market viewers, so here’s a full guide on the different ways to watch Steelers games streaming live online in 2022:

If You Live out of the Steelers Market

SundayTicket.TV

You can watch a live stream of every out-of-market, non-nationally televised NFL game via SundayTicket.TV. Unfortunately, the service is only available for people who live in residences where DirecTV Satellite isn’t available (apartments, condos, etc.), residents of a few select metropolitan cities or college students. You can check your eligibility and sign up here:

Get SundayTicket.TV

Once signed up, out-of-market fans can watch Steelers games live on the NFL Sunday Ticket app or NFL Sunday Ticket website.

Compatible devices for the NFL Sunday Ticket app include Roku, Roku TV, Amazon Fire TV or Firestick, Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox One or Series X/S, PlayStation 4 or 5, any device with Android TV (such as a Sony TV or Nvidia Shield), Samsung Smart TV, iPhone, Android phone, iPad or Android tablet.


Sunday Ticket Through DirecTV Satellite

This is different from “DirecTV Stream,” which is a live-streaming service that comes with no contract and doesn’t offer Sunday Ticket in any of its packages.

DirecTV Satellite is a cable option, which comes with a contract, but it’s worth mentioning here because for many people, it’s the only way to get Sunday Ticket and watch live out-of-market games in the United States. Sunday Ticket is currently included at no extra cost with the “Choice” ($69.99 per month) and above TV bundles:

Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 Season Preview

A new era begins for the Pittsburgh Steelers without longtime starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Since 2005, Roethlisberger led the Steelers to many playoff appearances, including two Super Bowl appearances. Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season, which left the Steelers in search for the storied franchise’s next franchise quarterback.

Pittsburgh took Kenny Pickett in the first round of the NFL Draft from Pitt in April — the only quarterback to go in the first round this year. Pickett had a stellar college career for the Panthers, but his time as the Steelers starter awaits.

Mitch Trubisky, a former No. 2 pick of the Chicago Bears, arrived in Pittsburgh via free agency after one season as the Buffalo Bills backup behind Josh Allen. Trubisky will begin the season as the Steelers’ starter in looking to revive his career, which didn’t pan out in Chicago.

Offensive Outlook

Both Trubisky and possibly Pickett have talented skill players to work with. Running back Najee Harris had a strong rookie season in 2021. Wide receiver Chase Claypool is a forced for defenses to watch out for, and tight end Pat Freiermuth can make plays.

How a young and inexperienced offensive line will do remains the big question.

Defensive Outlook

The Steelers defense looks to bounce back from a relatively down year in 2021 amid injuries.

Pittsburgh’s defense features star linebacker T.J. Watt, and the Steelers added key players around him who could make an impact. That includes defensive linemen Larry Ogunjobi and Myles Jack.

Levi Wallace will need to step up to help a Steelers secondary that wasn’t dominant in 2021. The Steelers still have former All-Pro Minkah Fitzpatrick, which could help turn things around.

Special Teams Outlook

Pittsburgh has a solid kicker in Chris Boswell, and the Steelers can count on punter Pressly Harvin III. Gunner Olszewski will return kicks and punts for the Steelers.
