When to watch the Steelers vs. Eagles
Where to watch
The battle of Pennsylvania pits the 11-2 Eagles against the 10-3 Steelers. The Eagles have won nine straight to take control of the NFC East, with Saquon Barkley playing at an MVP level in his first season in Philly. With the division all but wrapped up, the Eagles still have plenty to play for down the stretch: They’re one game behind the Lions for the top seed in the conference and a first-round playoff bye.
The Steelers have won seven of their last eight games to move two games ahead of the Ravens in the AFC North. The division remains very much in the air, however, with the Steelers facing a tough close to the season. After today’s game against the Eagles, they face a game at Baltimore that could decide the division and then finish with home games against the division-leading Chiefs and the dangerous Bengals.
The Steelers and Eagles kick off in Philadelphia at 4:25 p.m. ET (1:25 p.m. PT) on Fox. Here’s how you can watch, even if the game isn’t available on your local Fox channel.
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is in line to break Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984.
This matchup sees the Eagles host the Steelers at 4:25 p.m. ET (1:25 p.m. PT) on Sunday. The game will take place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, home of the Eagles.
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally due to incorrectly applied blackout restrictions, you may need a different way to watch it. That’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day, as VPNs encrypt your traffic. Plus, using a VPN is also a great idea for when you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and wanting an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, are very easy to use.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US and Canada, as long as you’ve got a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Sunday’s Steelers vs. Eagles game is on Fox nationally. The good news for football fans is that Fox is available on most of the major live TV streaming services. The least expensive such service is Sling TV Blue.
Sling TV’s Blue plan includes NBC, Fox and the NFL Network, though it does not have CBS, ABC or ESPN. Enter your address here to see which local channels are available where you live. NFL RedZone is also available for an extra $11 a month.
Note that to get ABC and ESPN, you’ll need to switch to the similarly priced Orange plan (which drops Fox, NBC and NFL Network) or go for the combined $60 a month Orange and Blue bundle that includes channels from both packages. With the combined plan, the Sports Extra add-on, which has RedZone, is an extra $15 a month.
One important caveat: In our experience, Fox local affiliates will only be available if your billing address is in one of the 18 metropolitan areas covered in Sling’s agreement. If you’re outside of one of these areas, you’re probably better off going with one of the alternate services listed below.
Numerous other live TV streaming services carry local Fox stations as well, namely YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV, DirecTV Stream and Fubo. They all cost far more than Sling, but they also carry a full complement of live channels, including football broadcasting channels like CBS and ESPN. Check out our live TV streaming services guide for details.
For $83 a month, you’ll get all the major football channels with YouTube TV. Plus, RedZone is available for an extra $11 per month. Plug in your ZIP code on YouTube TV’s welcome page to see which local networks are available in your area.
Fubo costs at least $92 per month when you factor in the RSN fees it charges, which you don’t need for NFL games but must pay for anyway. Fubo’s base plan costs $80 but it charges an extra $12 a month if you get one RSN or $15 a month if you have two or more in your area. RedZone is available for an extra $11 per month, and you can get 4K broadcasts with its $90-a-month Elite plan. It’s worth noting that Fubo has recently introduced a new $30 off for the first month offer for its Pro, Elite With Sports Plus and Deluxe plans.

Hulu Plus Live TV includes Fox in most markets.

DirecTV Stream’s basic $87-a-month Entertainment package includes Fox in most markets. You can use its channel lookup tool to see which local channels are available where you live. Read our DirecTV Stream review.

An over-the-air antenna connected to your TV provides another option for Fox. The best part about antennas is that there are no streaming or monthly fees required, although you will need to make sure you have good reception.
