If You’re Using a Live TV Streaming Service
Some listings reference NBC-related feeds (e.g., “YouTube TV: NBCSN”) in context with this matchup, but the game itself is still described as streaming on Peacock as the primary way to watch live. Treat Peacock as your main option, even if you also have a live-TV streaming bundle.
Watching While Traveling
Sports sites note that fans traveling outside the U.S. often use a VPN-style solution to access their usual streaming subscriptions from abroad, since services like Peacock are region-locked. You’d still need an active U.S.-based Peacock account; location tools just help you reach the service while on the road.
