The Buffalo Bills will visit the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on September 8 to open the 2022 NFL season, which includes 17 games scheduled through early January.
Most Buffalo Bills games are broadcast on CBS in-market, with select games on ESPN and NBC (such as their NFL pitching game against the Rams in Week 1). That means a full-featured streaming service like DirecTV Stream or fuboTV is the best option for fans who want to stream the games live, rather than watch them on cable.
The Bills went 2-1 in the preseason as they firm up their roster, which will once again be led by star quarterback and likely MVP contender Josh Allen, along with new additions like former LA Ram Von Miller.
Use this guide and schedule to stream every Buffalo Bills regular season game throughout the season.

How to live stream the 2022 Bills season
There is no single streaming service that allows you to access all 17 Buffalo Bills games in one place. However, we can guide you towards the option that best suits your needs.
DirecTV streaming, formerly AT&T TV, will guarantee you access to all the televised games as CBS, NBC, and ESPN are included in your basic starter package, which costs $69.99 per month and includes 75+ channels, unlimited DVR storage, and thousands of on – demand titles. DirecTV Stream includes a 1-week free trial.
fuboTV it’s essentially the same service as far as the Buffalo Bills fan is concerned. It has all the necessary channels to enjoy televised gaming at its base level of $69.99 per month. Includes 138 channels and 1000 hours of DVR space. Includes free trial.
Hulu + Live TV it shares the $69 price point and has a slightly different channel selection, but still all the relevant televised gaming channels. Hulu + Live TV subscribers also get access to Hulu’s entire library, plus ESPN Plus and Disney Plus are included at a deep discount when bundled. Hulu + Live TV includes 75+ channels and unlimited DVR storage. Hulu + Live TV does NOT include a free trial.
youtube tv stands out as a cheaper option at a rate of $64.99/month. It also comes with over 85 channels and unlimited storage space. Includes free trial.
NFL+ is a new streaming option for NFL fans this year. It only includes off-the-shelf games, and it’s only available to stream on tablets or phones (and blocks screencasting), but if those restrictions don’t bother you, it’s a great budget option for cord cutters, at just $4.99 per month, plus a 1-week free trial.
Sling generally not the best option, because local channel availability is not offered in most markets. However, if you prepay for two months of service, they will include a free HD antenna that will allow you to access local channels through the service. Then you only pay $35 per month and it becomes the cheapest full-featured live TV service. Includes a free trial if you don’t accept the prepaid offer.
Paramount Plus is an interesting option for Bills fans. With nine games broadcast on CBS, you can subscribe to Paramount Plus Premium ($9.99/month) to enjoy more than half of the Bills games this season at a much cheaper rate than anywhere else. You’ll miss games on NBC, ESPN and FOX, but it’s not a bad option if you’re looking to cut costs. Includes free trial.
Peacock Premium will broadcast two Buffalo Bills games this year on September 8 and October 30. There’s no reason to make this your primary service, unless you can’t get those games elsewhere.
Amazon Prime Video has exclusive rights to a single Bills game this season on Dec. 1. Hopefully you already have Prime and won’t have to consider this, but if you don’t, you can sign up for the 1-month free trial to enjoy the game for free.
