Eagles vs. Jets Livestream: How to Watch NFL Week 6 Online Today - CNET
Is Zach Wilson finally the answer for the Jets? After plenty of early struggles, the 24-year-old QB helped the Jets find the win column last week in Denver — but this week’s opponent, the Eagles, should pose a much tougher test than the free-falling Broncos.
Philadelphia enters Week 6 at 5-0, making it one of the NFL’s final undefeated teams (alongside the San Francisco 49ers). Philly has a two-game lead atop the NFC East.
The Eagles and Jets kick off in East Rutherford, New Jersey, at 1:25 p.m. PT (4:25 p.m. ET) on Fox. Here’s how you can watch, even if the game isn’t available on your local Fox channel.
The gridiron smackdown will be shown on TV in the Philadelphia and New York City areas (according to 506 Sports) on live TV streaming services, but there may be cases where you’re blocked because of an internet location glitch or you just want an added layer of privacy for streaming. There’s an option that doesn’t require subscribing to something like NFL Sunday Ticket or NFL Plus, or searching the internet for a sketchy website: You can use a virtual private network, or VPN.
Here’s how you can watch the game from anywhere in the US with a VPN.

Eagles vs. Jets: When and where?

How to watch the Eagles vs. Jets game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally due to incorrectly applied blackout restrictions, you may need a different way to watch the game and 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 by encrypting your traffic, plus it’s a great idea for when you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add 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, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
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.

Livestream the Eagles vs. Jets game in the US
This week’s Eagles-Jets game is on Fox, so in addition to a VPN set to an area carrying the game (see tips below) you’ll need a live TV streaming service that carries a local Fox affiliate that’s broadcasting the game. 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 per 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.
