Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold, who left the 49ers after last season, will start the game, facing off against his former teammates, including quarterback Brock Purdy. 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is still dealing with an Achilles calf injury that may force him to sit out yet another game.

Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you're looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna). A $7/month subscription to NFL+ will get you access to NFL Network which can be great for watching some games, but the downside of NFL+ is that when it comes to the regular season, it's just local and primetime games (and only on mobile or tablet!). In which case, here's what we recommend to watch the NFL.

Fubo TV gives you access to ESPN, NFL Network, Fox, ABC, CBS and 100+ more live channels. At $80/month, the live TV streaming service is definitely a big investment for football fans.
