49ers vs Rams live stream: How to watch the NFC Championship game online

The 49ers vs Rams live stream is about to begin, and this NFC Championship game catches San Francisco on a high after getting past the Packers. 

Meanwhile, Los Angeles hopes this NFL live stream will mark their first win against the Niners this season as Matthew Stafford tries to earn a trip to Super Bowl 2022. 

The 49ers (10-7) are living the dream after knocking out the top-seeded Packers with a 13-10 win last week at Lambeau. San Francisco trailed 10-3 with just 4:41 left in the game when Jordan Willis blocked a Packer punt at the Green Bay four-yard-line, which was picked up by Niner Safety and special teamer, Talanoa Hufanga who ran it in for the game-tying touchdown. After forcing a three-and-out, San Francisco engineered a nine-play, 44-yard drive capped off by Robbie Gould’s 45-yard gaming winning field goal as time expired.

The Rams (12-5), like the 49ers, have a kicker’s last second heroics to thank for making it to their second NFC Championship game in four years. Matt Gay drilled a 30-yard field goal to get past the Buccaneers last week with a 30-27 win. The field goal clinched the win and helped the Rams’ overcome two second-half fumbles as well as the Bucs scoring 24 second-half points.   

For Los Angeles, this will be the second time they’ve seen a division rival in this postseason. They beat the Cardinals in the wild card round of the playoffs, 34-11. Now they face the Niners, a team they were unable to beat in their regular season matchups. San Francisco stomped the Rams in week 10 winning 31-10, then squeaked out a 27-24 win in overtime in the last week of the season. Both games featured a second half surge by the Niners, something the Rams also allowed last week against the Bucs.

The Rams are currently 3.5-point favorites against the 49ers. The over/under is 46. So, who makes it to Super Bowl 2022?

The game starts at 6.30 p.m. ET / 3.30 p.m. PT today Sunday (Jan. 30)

If FOX, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network have typically been enough to get you all the football you need, you could rely on Sling (which doesn't include CBS, and RedZone is available with the Sports Extra add on). You can get your local CBS NFL games via Paramount Plus, if you want.

The more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.

It's a case of "you get what you pay for" as Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $50 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $65 per month.

If you can stand to miss CBS games, Sling TV provides a middle ground — and there's a 3-day free trial! The $50 per month Sling Orange + Blue package has NBC affiliates for this game, as well as local FOX affiliates plus ESPN.
