How do watch the NE Patriots games in the villages

[Jackiemerch]

I will be moving in soon and I am a NE Patriots fan and want to be able to watch them every Sunday. Does anyone have a secret as to what I need to do to make that happen. I would really appreciate any advice.

[villagetinker]

Depending on your TV provider, you might be able to get a sports package (for example, the hockey package on comcast is about $120 for the season), there are several sports bars that have multiple TVs where you may be able to watch the games (table locations number of people, etc,.).
You might get lucky and find others on this site that will have other ideas, or specific info on locations that specialize on this team.

Direct tv NFL ticket , I’m not back from Boston yet but I always wait to last minute to buy . Oh an yes I know about rain and reception so during rainy season I tape the hd and non hd stations for shows I like , also when that hurricane came through a few years ago I had reception all through the night on non hd stations . I also don’t care about antennas, jail breaks or whatever else many of you talk about here, I just happily let them charge me as long as they give me a good product and they do , ( 2 pbs stations 😊 )

Exactly what I was going to recommend. NFL Ticket.

[bmit16]

Go to Beef O'Brady's at Mulberry. They always show all the NFL games and there is a fairly large contingent of NE fans that go there. Plus the food is pretty good, but the beer is a little more than most places in The Villages.

Before my Dad passed away we always went to Beef O'brady's at Mulberry. Have not been since he passed. We loved the cheeseburger rollup (or was it a wrap, I forget?)

We were season ticket holders since Pats joined NFL, living in Foxboro, (my golly did they stink :) To be clear, it got too expensive at some point and they were on TV as every game was sold out.

Now my sister has Slingshot, so I can watch, but no Dad...

Simple - Turn on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

[BostonRich]

I just did a free trial on Hulu to catch last Thursday's and next Thursday's pre-season games.

Join the Patriots Club when you get here. You won't miss a game between national broadcasts and their get-togethers for the non-broadcasted games. We even got together for Brady's games last season after the Patriots were out of it. We usually meet at Gators in Spanish Springs. Great bunch of people with other fun activities too.

Do you have an externally mounted dish to get the DirectTV?

[Rwirish]

If we told you it would no longer be a secret.

Go to Red Sauce in Sumter landing. Group of Patriots fans have been meeting there for 10 years to watch the game together!!! Get there early!!@

[nick demis]

Just watch Tampa Bay. That is where all the good patriots went and they will be your home team.

I have youtube tv and get all the Pats games. You can provide two addresses, one in NE and one here. The only issue is you need to have someone actually at the address you use up north who can sign in for you once every three months. I use my daughter's address. Originally, I got NESN as well but YouTube dropped NESN ending that benefit.

[NoMo50]

YouTube. Catch their games from the 2018 season. The outcomes will be better,

Go Chiefs!

[noslices1]

Get Direct TV and get their NFL package.

[B-flat]

I never owned a season ticket when the Stadium was called Schaefer Stadium. It was more like a large high school stadium merely a shadow of the large venue today. At the time I worked for the Schaefer Beer distributor in RI, I used to get complimentary tickets all the time.

If you have a smart TV and can get to a Browser for the Internet,(or use a computer) use NFLbite.com. They stream live every NFL game. Downside,,, you have to tolerate some pop-up commercials and some buffering. Upside, it’s free!

[Jimf2018]

Actually, the home team in this area is Jacksonville. If you get Comcast, all the Patriots games (as well as the Miami and Tampa games) will be blacked out whenever Jacksonville is playing at the same time.
We went with Direct TV and get the games through their NFL package. This is what the local bars use as well.
Just be careful of your recordings. We have found that you frequently need to set them up manually a few days before to make sure the games are recorded.

[MrFlorida]

Brady fan here, so Tampa Bay is my new team, and their local to us.

Get Fubo before you leave and stream all Pats, Bruins, Celts andEox games wherever you are.

[Hiltongrizz11]

The guy is interested in places not cable TV or any other thing... Wow pay attention

[DaleDivine]

Welcome to The Villages, Jackie...
I have not watched an NFL game since they started kneeling during the National Anthem.
Don't miss it a bit and college games are much better.
NFL is a bunch of overpaid babies...
:ohdear::popcorn:

[STJOHNCE]

The Lighthouse at Sumter Landing is Patriot supporter (all things Boston actually) and they have games on TVs in bar.

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

Do you have an externally mounted dish to get the DirectTV? yes but I’m not crawling around in my attic or rescanning it or whatever the half dozen things I read on here guys are doing , maybe it cost me more but that’s what I made money for to spend . I could also mow my lawn , clean my house or cook but I don’t do those either happiness for me is having someone else do those things for me

[Jdhelfert]

The UZZU app. Best kept secret for sports fans. They have everything sports-wise you could possibly imagine.

[Dotneko]

Really? It asks how to watch, not where to watch.

[BlackhawksFan]

As you can tell the easiest way is to go to nearly an bar/restaurant in the area they all have NFL Sunday ticket.

Other than that the only way to get all the games LEGALLY is to purchase Sunday Ticket yourself. You need to subscribe to Dish network to do so.

[Scorpyo]

Simple - Turn on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

What? You want him to watch football without cheating and corruption? How boring.:1rotfl::1rotfl:

You happy now ? Thanks for taking the air out of my football.

[La lamy]

I've enjoyed going to "World of Beer" restaurants/bars in The Villages squares. They have what it seemed all the games on various TVs.

You can always get a jailbroke fire stick with the right apps. I can watch ANY sporting event while it’s playing. Once game is over I can’t see it sadly.

See Lenny at the Mt. Dora Flea Market in "Satellite" tv booth.

If you have a smart tv, you can download a streaming program named Gen2TV. It costs about $29 a month and you can watch any game anywhere. No contracts, just pay by month and if you don't want it anymore just stop paying. We love it. It has hundreds of TV programs that have been on our networks, local channels and hundreds of movies, etc. When you download it, it gives you directions on what to do.

[jimness1]

.direct tv has a NFL package with the service you can watch any game that’s playing. Of course you also have to go with Direct TV as your cable supplier

[Regor]

Easy to do with an Android phone, a chromecast unit ($50) or a TV with chromecast built in. Get the Locast app (free or you can pay $5.50 a month to get rid of their ads every 20 minutes or so). Get the Fake GPS app for Android. Select an area on Fake GPS that has the game you want on local tv. Then select the city on Locast find the channel with the game. When are watching on the phone just tap the screen and select the CAST button and it will then CAST it to your TV.
This will work on an iPhone also but it is harder to fake the GPS as Apple doesn't allow apps to change the GPS.

After you're done watching the game, make sure you change the GPS bake to normal, otherwise other apps will think you're in whatever area you selected.

[pgettinger01]

Use the free App Locast. This has local stations by city and uses your internet connection to stream.

I am also a NE Patriots fan. Been here six years and the ONLY way to watch all Patriot games is to get Direct TV and the optional NFL Sunday Ticket, which is exclusive to Direct TV (now owned by at&t, who pays the NFL a boatload of money for the exclusivity). New subscribers can usually get if free for the first year, but after that, it gets pricey at $55 or so per month for six months. As far as satellite TV goes, I find it surprisingly reliable (only lost the signal for 30 minutes during hurricane Irma). Direct TV does have to install a satellite dish, however, either on the roof or a pedestal on the ground, which they also install. Mine is on the roof and has never moved an inch through two hurricanes and multiple high wind storms, and has never had to be serviced in the six years I've been here. As some other posts suggest, your only other option is to go to one of the sports bars to watch a game that is not televised locally, but you have to go at least an hour early to get a seat. Miller's Ale House, Gators and City Fire are some of the local places you can watch any of the games, as they pay for the commercial Sunday Ticket.

Like many have posted...join the New England Patriots Club...they reserve a section at one of the pubs and everyone comes dressed in their "Pat's gear"

Now that 'Tommy boy' is with Tampa we no longer jump over hurdles to see the Pat's play. We're always going to be able to see Tommy and Gronk play on a local station

we tried the fire stick for a couple of years....it worked, but all the commercials were Canadian

Tom leaving Foxboro has actually allowed us to enjoy a more relaxing Sunday and we don't drop an easy $100 at some bar every week now

You can also get the Red Zone, which I like as well. Any team that gets into the red zone is put up on the TV. Sometimes they'll have as many as four games going on at once.

I can't imagine trying to watch a football game on my iphone. I'd be squinting for days.

[PJackpot]

Lighthouse Bar and Grill

Lighthouse no longer pays for the Sunday Ticket, so you will no longer be able to see all Patriot games there. Direct TV charges restaurants for Sunday Ticket according to their seating capacity, and from what I understand it's a ridiculous amount of money. Quite frankly, I'm surprised at the number of restaurants/pubs that are still willing to pay up; especially given how financially crushed a lot of these places got during the lockdowns; and some are still struggling from it.

[Regor]

That's why I said you need a Chromecast for you're TV. It allows videos and such to be sent from the phone to the TV!!

fyi all posters. Nfl sunday ticket up for grabs next year. I expect multiple streaming services will participate

[aallbrand]

How dare the players protest while bad cops murder innocent young men and women. SHOULD THEY JUST LET IT HAPPEN AND SAY NOTHING ?

by the way when you turn off the games you are protesting along with them. Thats the results the players want.

So on behalf of NFLPlayers

Thanks for not watching even if its for the wrong reason
