Watch the 2024 NFL Draft for free with Fubo

In addition to this year’s draft, you’ll have access to NFL football next season, the NBA Playoffs, MLB, NHL, MLS and international soccer games. Fubo’s Pro Tier is priced at $80 per month after your free seven-day trial.
Sports fans will want to consider adding on the $7.99 per month Fubo Extra package, which includes MLB Network, NBA TV, NHL Network, Tennis Channel, SEC Network and more channels with live games. Or upgrade to the Fubo Elite tier and get all the Fubo Extra channels, plus the ability to stream in 4K, starting at $90 per month ($70 for the first month).

One of the most cost-effective ways to stream the 2024 NFL Draft is through a subscription to Sling TV. To watch this year’s draft, and NFL football next season, you’ll need a subscription to the Orange tier, which includes ESPN. For access to more NFL games next season, upgrade to the Orange + Blue tier (recommended), which includes the games played on ABC, NBC and Fox, plus the NFL Network.

The Orange + Blue tier costs $35 for your first month, and $60 per month after that. You can save $30 when you pre-pay for three months of service on any tier. You can cancel anytime.
Note: Because Sling TV doesn’t carry CBS, you won’t be able to watch CBS-aired live sports, including the NFL. If you’re looking for one live TV streaming platform to watch all your favorite sports, we suggest a subscription to Hulu + Live TV.
Top features of Sling TV Orange + Blue tier:
- There are 46 channels to watch in total, including ABC (local affiliate), ESPN, NFL Network, TNT and TBS.

Watch the 2024 NFL Draft with a digital HDTV antenna
Amazon
If you’re cutting the cord to your cable company, you’re not alone; in fact, you are in luck. You can still watch the NFL on TV with an affordable indoor antenna, which pulls in local over-the-air HDTV channels such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, Univision and more. Here’s the kicker: There’s no monthly charge.
For anyone living in a partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal — or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch NFL football without paying a cable company. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable (or your cable company gets in a squabble with a network).
This amplified digital antenna can receive hundreds of HDTV channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Fox and Univision and can filter out cellular and FM signals. It receives signals 360 degrees and delivers a high-quality picture in 4K, UHD and 1080 HDTV, top-tier sound and features a 10-foot digital coax cable. This Amazon best-selling antenna is currently on sale for $15 at Amazon, reduced from $18.

How Nikki Glaser is drawing inspiration from Tom Brady to prepare for Golden Globes hosting gig
Comedian and actress Nikki Glaser is preparing for one of the biggest moments of her career: Hosting the 82nd Annual Golden Globes. The event will air live on CBS on Sunday, Jan. 5.
Known for her brutally honest style, Glaser’s journey comes after years of hard work in the entertainment industry. She is also making history by becoming the first woman to solo host the Golden Globes.
“It’s been a lot of hard work leading up to this point of, like, a 22-year career where some people are suddenly starting to take notice on this kind of, like, bigger scale,” Glaser said. “I’m at a point in my life where, you know, I’m old enough to kind of handle this kind of attention and not let it go to my head.”
Glaser, widely recognized for her raunchy and relatable standup specials, has built a reputation for turning her personal experiences into comedy. Glaser credits her success to lessons learned and applied over the course of her career.
She also gained widespread attention for her standout performance at Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady” earlier this year.
“The way I prepared for that … was inspired by learning about Tom Brady and how he prepares,” Glaser said. “It’s about the flexibility. It’s about surrounding yourself with people you love. Like, I hadn’t considered that part of my job at all. I always just thought, you just have to work hard.”
During the interview, Glaser also reflected on advice from those who have hosted major award shows before.
“Ricky [Gervais] called me right away to give me advice,” she said. “His advice was, ‘Just be yourself. You’re not one of them. Don’t try to walk out there acting like you’re an A-lister just because you’re invited.'”
The comedian has also earned her own recognition this year, with a nomination of her own.
“It was really cool to get the nomination on top of preparing for this,” Glaser said. “To me, hosting is number one.”
Despite the pressure, Glaser is excited for the experience and eager to perform. And winning isn’t a goal for Glaser.
“I’ll do a bit after my award is given out. I think it’s kind of funnier if I lose.”
The 82nd annual Golden Globes will air live on Jan. 5, 2025 on CBS and stream on Paramount+
