NFL Week 3: How to watch the Los Angeles Chargers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game today

Mike Tomlin and his Pittsburgh Steelers will be playing host to Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday when the two teams meet up for the NFL’s Week 3. The game, at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, will be broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+ at 1 p.m. with Jim Nantz and Tony Romo announcing. Both the Steelers and the Chargers have had a strong start to their seasons, each with a 2-0 record. With the Steelers’ Russell Wilson still in the injured list, it’s likely that QB Justin Fields will start against the Chargers this Sunday, as he has for the first two weeks of the season. Despite the Chargers’ Justin Herbert also nursing an ankle injury, he is expected to play on Sunday.

How to watch every NFL game this season:

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.
