The Buffalo Bills come into the 2022 season as serious Super Bowl contenders after recent AFC playoff surges.

Those are the two best options 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 Bills games streaming live online in 2022:

Buffalo Bills 2022 Season Preview
Buffalo looks stacked again with quarterback Josh Allen, wide receiver Sefon Diggs and a tough defense. That defense only improved with Von Miller signing big contract for $120 million after helping the Los Angeles Rams win the Super Bowl.
The Bills reached the AFC Championship Game in the 2020 season and came shy of the title game in the 2021 season after an overtime loss to Kansas City.
Offense
Allen returns after another stellar season, but the Bills’ championship hopes won’t fall apart if Allen gets injured. The Bills also added quarterback Case Keenum from Cleveland as a backup. Keenum proved himself as a backup in 2017 when he helped the Minnesota Vikings reach the NFC Championship game as the starter.
Diggs and Allen developed after two seasons together, and Allen will get more depth in the passing game with Jamison Crowder. The Bills also have Gabriel Davis and Isaiah McKenzie at receiver and Dawson Knox at tight end again, but the Bills let receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley go in free agency.

Buffalo has running back Devin Singletary again and running back James Cook through the draft. Duke Johnson and Zack Moss give the Bills depth at running back.
Allen and company will get plenty of protection from the Bills offensive line of Ryan Bates, Spencer Brown, Dion Dawkins, and Mitch Morse — all returning starters. The Bills also added Rodger Saffold III to the blocking crew.
Defense
Buffalo already had a good defense before Miller’s arrival, but the eight-time Pro Bowler will make it fiercer amid the other changes.

They’re the first team he faces as a member of the @BuffaloBills. 👀

The Bills also brought in Shaq Lawson, Jordan Phillips, DaQuan Jones, and Tim Settle to bolster the pass rush and run stopping up front. At linebacker, Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano return with draft pick Terrel Bernard joining the crew.
With All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer back along with Micah Hyde, the Bills have a tough secondary again. Cornerback Tre’Davious White could return from man ACL after four games while on the reserve/PUP list, but the Bills have Dane Jackson as insurance for now. Taron Johnson also returns to the secondary, and rookie Kaiir Elam could make an impact early.
Special Teams
Buffalo has a dynamic kick returner in McKenzie, and Khalil Shakir will return punts. Bills kicker Tyler Bass gives his team a reliable source of points. Sam Martin will punt for the Bills.
