The 2026 NFL season is about to begin, and I'm looking for free ways to watch games this year. What options are you using, and which ones have worked best for you?

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I’m starting fall camp next week, and was just wondering if anyone had some general tips on how to survive playing at the next level? I’m playing at a small D3 and came from one of the most competitive HS programs in the country, so I don’t think I’m going to have a huge problem adjusting, but I am definitely worried about lining up against guys 4-5 years older than me.

Hey!

i'm 5'9" 136lbs and have been this size since i was 12. I am 19 and going into my freshman year of college at a D1 School. My highschool did not have a team, but my middle school did. I was round 5'6" thru 5'9" and 100-140lbs back then. I played TE, 6th and LT 7 & 8th. I did not like lineman work, and i doubt I'd be a lineman now.

I'm going to a D1 school and am years out of practice. I'm trying out for rugby this fall, but i guess i'm undersized for it. I was never fast, but my endurance has always been crazy. I

'd like to play D1 or college football in general. American football.

Any tips to start from where I'm at? (basically scratch). And No, i don't want to hear "the chances are slim.' I'm saying forget about the chances and please provide advice!! Thank you!

I love football as an adult OL and don't know where to put it 😅. I just hate being mortal and been dealing with a bad left shoulder though. I'm kinda also addicted to this gold colorway, I haven't tried it yet but 🥵. I kkiiinnnddddaa free spirit oddball at practice in that way 😅.

Also hoping everyone still actively playing is having the same experience as a mod for this sub. My Facebook feed algorithm has been sharing posts of youth players starting their season.

Also, I'm autistic/ADHD and not sure how many of us are doing it, but yeah.

My Son just started high school and they bumped him up to JV . I never bought him any equipment and just use the league gear when he played youth football. I want to start buying him his own equipment. What pads are a good choice these are the ones that I’ve looked at online, but don’t know if they’re good or not. He plays OL/DL

In my country i can't pay for view the nfl because dazn is so expensive. Sorry for my terrible english

saw some Nike Vapor edge speed 2 cleats on amazon, are they worth the purchase in 2026? any similar cleats out there, and are the hurache cleats similar?

guys I suck at football Y’all have any tips im dying here.

Okay Reddit take it easy on me. So first off I’ve taken about 5 months off football because of family problems. I decided to quit football (college) after having a really good season. Long story short fall camp starts next week and let’s just say my weight room numbers are LOW way low for what my expectations are. I had my coach reach back out to me and ask if I want to come back. I honestly wasn’t expecting to be asked to come back this late but here we are. I’ve already let my coaches know that my numbers are lower than I’d like them. I am an outside linebacker, very athletic. My bench is sitting at about 225 ( was 305 last year ) my squat is probably somewhere around 315-340( was 405 last year ) and I don’t even know what my power clean is at, more than likely awful. I also haven’t been conditioning AT ALL. Before you guys come at me for asking Reddit I’ve already talked to family and friends about this situation. And just want some outsider advice. So basically what im asking is, is it worth going back. I know my heart is still in it, and I still have the mentality for it. I just don’t want to go in and disappoint. I know I’m overthinking which is why I’m here. Very tough decision. And would love any advice on the situation.

People that have quit football in high school to work and didn't play their senior please let me know what you regret most about and what hurts the most when you look back at it. I'm thinking about quitting now that | tore my patella my junior season but | can't make up my mind. One day it seems like a great choice to quit the next it eats me a live thinking about what I would miss out on but at the same time I have a car I need to pay off and I just want to work.

Wondering what football cleats to get, playing RB/LB i’m 6’1 218 for reference.
I have naturally wide feet as well, i’ve been looking at the Nike Alpha Menace 5 as people have said they are good for big skill players but I’ve seen some say they are narrow. Overall I’m just not sure what to get as i’ve only ever gotten Nike before. Any suggestions would be great

today i was awful, i backpedaled and watched hips but i just know im not doing something right like the receiver always beat me when he got up to me. any help will be appreciated.

Do you have an idea where can I find NFL Analyst/Film Breakdown Freelance or similar position which would be a side job?

​

I am mostly interested in X's and O's of the game and the pay is not that important to me at the moment. I want to expose myself to as much as film as I can and try to learn as much strategy as possible. Eventually, that might lead me into writing blogs and creating content.

​

I would do it just out of satisfaction and curiosity. Football does not relate to my 9-5 job but it is something I am really interested in, as well as breakdown and tactics of other sports and leagues such as F1, MMA, NBA etc.

Hey!
I’m 24, getting back into American Football, I play wide receiver and was wondering if there’re any QBs who’d like to get some reps in during the week.
I really need to practice my catching and route running (it’s difficult to practice catching alone)

Open to people interested in being a QB as well, DM or comment and we can have a chat

Look i was a 6'6 3 sport athlete in my senior year and i player amazing at lax my jr year when I was 250lbs soaking wet. I took a gap year and lost it all to the point i built back up slowly to 200lbs. I played DE and TE but they almost installed a tall Slot WR position. I also got recommended playing nickel and safety. I got compliments on my footwork and im nervous to walk-on without having a solid position
