Fact Checked Fact Checked

While some of us only tune into the Super Bowl half-time show, the NFL (National Football League) is a popular sport both in the U.S. and on a global scale.

So where should you turn to for all your NFL action, and how much will it cost you? In this article, Canstar Blue investigates all your options before kick-off.
