Watching from outside the U.S. (or dealing with blackouts)

  • VPN option:
    • If the game is blacked out or not carried in your country, many fans use a reputable VPN service (e.g., ExpressVPN, Private Internet Access, NordVPN) to connect to a U.S. server and then log in to a U.S.-based streaming account that includes NFL Network.

    • The Steelers Radio Network will carry live audio play‑by‑play for the game.
* Local Vikings and Steelers flagship stations typically simulcast the game, so you can listen via radio apps if you prefer audio.
