Lions vs Packers live stream: How to watch NFL 2020 season game online

It's almost time for the Lions vs Packers live stream that will either see Aaron Rogers push his team to stay undefeated, or Matt Stafford make both teams an even 1-1 for the season. And while Green Bay is a 6-point favorite, the Lions should not be taken lightly (which almost everyone will, regardless).

We're not saying that Rodgers, with Packers' head coach Matt LaFleur in his ear, will not prove troublesome in this NFL live stream. It's just that the Lions still have a strong offense, and the Packers' defense isn't expected to be better than that of the Chicago Bears, who only beat Detroit by 4 in Week 1.

Those trying to find reasons to bet on Detroit would also be looking to last week, and wondering how much more of a threat these Lions are than the Vikings, who scored 34 against Green Bay — only to lose by 9. The Vikings posted the majority of those points in the 4th quarter, so there's a chance that the Packers could leave themselves open for a loss against a comeback. 

That all said, this is Rodgers at Lambeau, which is about as strong as Brady in Foxwoods in any previous year. And if Detroit does get an advantage? Well, the ghosts of their 17-point lead against the Bears will be as visible as Obi-Wan in the clouds, waving down to tell the Packers they can do it too. 

Here are the best ways to watch the NFL season continue with Sunday's Lions vs Packers live stream:

How to watch Lions vs Packers live streams with a VPN

Football fans, if for some reason you've had to leave your own "bubble" — or you can't get the NFL Network where you are for some strange reason — and you can't watch the Lions vs Packers live streams you want, you're not out of luck. 

With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won't hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for. 

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN offers superb speeds and excellent customer service, and IPVanish's low pricing is shocking.

We think speed, security and simplicity make ExpressVPN second to none.

Lions vs Packers live streams in the US

In America, Lions vs Packers is going to be broadcast on FOX, which is included on most cable TV packages and is available on two of our favorite streaming services, fuboTV and Sling TV. The game starts at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT, today (Sunday, Sept. 20).

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 or NFL RedZone). 

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 $45 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $59.99 per month.

If you can stand to miss some games, Sling TV provides a middle ground. The $45 per month Sling Orange + Blue package has FOX for this game, as well as local NBC affiliates and ESPN.
