56% of NFL fans in the US will be using a service other than cable to watch the football this weekend. That’s according to a survey we conducted with real-time poll provider OnePulse.
Most respondents said they’d be watching an NFL live stream from an over the top (OTT) streaming site, with the likes of fuboTV, Sling TV, Hulu and YouTube TV growing in popularity.
For a long time there was no real replacement for the lengthy, expensive contracts offered by the likes of Xfinity, Spectrum and AT&T, meaning that watching a wide variety of live sports was a pastime reserved for those lucky enough to have a hard line routed to their home.
