You can watch a live stream of NBC via Fubo, YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream. All three of these live-TV streaming services include NBC (available live in nearly every market, but it’s worth making sure it’s available in your area before signing up), and all three come with a free trial.

So, as long as you have a credit card, you can sign up for one of these services, watch the game live on your computer, phone or other streaming device and then cancel your subscription before being charged anything.

Note that the Fubo free trial is seven days long, while YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream each give you five days.

You can use a virtual private network (VPN) to hide your IP address/location and connect to a digital server in the United States. As such, if you’re abroad, you can connect to a VPN in order to make it look like you’re physically located in the US. This allows you to bypass any location restrictions and stream content that is typically US-only, such as Fubo, YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream or Peacock.
