In order to watch NFL games free online, the game must be blacked out in the affected market. Games will be available for 72 hours beginning at midnight on the day of the game. "Monday Night Football" telecasts will not be available.
Of course, there are other ways to keep up with the game online for free. Although the NFL is barring its player from tweeting during the game, Twitter fans are often a great source of information on the game. Visit search.twitter.com and put in your team's name. The stream of people who are talking about the game will immediately be visible. Twackle.com is also another free resource to keep you in touch with the NFL games.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a written statement released by the league. "These free re-broadcasts on NFL.com will allow our fans that can't get to a blacked-out game an opportunity to see the entire game."
To watch an NFL game online free, go to NFL.com and click on the game access tab. If the game is blacked out, there will be free access to it on the site. NFL blacked out games online are only available for 72 hours beginning at midnight the day of the game, so you must watch within that time period.
