How to watch the NFL on Fox
Fox, as one of the four major US TV networks, is carried by all pay-TV cable providers, so if you have a cable subscription then you have access to your local Fox station and the NFL on Fox. Another option is a TV antenna, which can receive all local station signals, including Fox.
Live TV streaming services have become a popular alternative to traditional cable, but consumers can still get access to their local Fox stations through many of these services, including Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.
Fox does not have its own streaming service, but if you are a subscriber to a traditional or live TV streaming service that carries the network, you can use that login to get the game on the Fox Sports app.
You can also stream your local Fox NFL game on NFL Plus, but only through a mobile phone or tablet.
UK NFL fans that are interested in how they can watch the weekly NFL games that air on Fox should know that free-to-air broadcaster ITV is taking over NFL broadcasts in the UK (from the BBC).
There are some additional paid-for options to watch NFL games in the UK, including Sky TV and the NFL Game Pass subscription service.

Best NFL game on Fox this week
While a few games on the Fox slate in week 18 will have an impact on playoff seeding, there is only one that will determine whether or not a team actually gets into the postseason, and that is the New Orleans Saints vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers game.
The Bucs are the ones who have the playoff aspirations, needing a win to clinch the NFC South. A loss does not kill their hopes, but it would require that the Atlanta Falcons lose to the Carolina Panthers in a game that will be played simultaneously and airing on NFL on CBS.
As for the matchup, the Bucs are playing at home and facing a Saints team that has lost three straight and is averaging less than 10 points per game during that stretch. The Bucs also hanged 51 points on this Saints team earlier this season. But never underestimate a division rival with a chance to ruin an opponent's season.
