After starting the season with five straight wins, the Minnesota Vikings have lost two in a row. Can Sam Bradford and company rebound when they host the Detroit Lions in Week 9 of the NFL season? Winners of three straight before last week’s loss to the Houston Texans, Matt Stafford and the Lions are currently in third place in the ultra-competitive NFC North. Will the Lions gain a game on the first-place Vikings or will Minnesota rebound with a victory? We’ll find out when these division rivals clash in this exciting Week 9 matchup!

WHAT TIME DOES THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS VS. DETROIT LIONS GAME START?

The Lions and Vikings game is scheduled to kick off at 1:00 P.M. Eastern.

HOW DO I LIVE STREAM THE DETROIT LIONS VS. MINNESOTA VIKINGS GAME?

The Vikings/Lions game will air on FOX. If you have a cable subscription, and (this is important) you are receiving the broadcast in your area, you’re all set: you can live stream Lions vs Vikings free via the Fox Sports Go app, available on iTunes, Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Android, and more.

If you’re a crafty cord cutter, you can also watch via Sling TV, whose Blue package carries Fox (more on Sling below).

And don’t forget about PlayStation Vue! Subscribers to their ‘Access’ basic cable streaming service have access to FOX, though channel lineups vary by region.

CAN I STREAM VIA DIRECTV SUNDAY TICKET?

You can, but only if you live at an address at which DirecTV does NOT offer service (and only out-of-market games). Check your eligibility here.

WHAT ABOUT NFL GAME PASS?

NFL Game Pass shows games that have already concluded. If you’re fine with on demand NON-live games, sign up for $99/year.

WHAT ABOUT TWITTER? I HEARD THEY WERE STREAMING THE NFL THIS YEAR.

Twitter is indeed streaming a number of games, but only Thursday night games, and not all of them.

HOW CAN I GET SLING TV?

This is a terrific time to check out Sling TV. The service’s Blue package, which includes major networks like Fox and NBC, normally costs $25 a month, but are currently offering subscribers a free one-week trial of the service. Then, from there, you can either download the Sling desktop app (if you’re watching on a desktop or laptop computer), or download the Sling app for iOS/Apple devices, Android, Roku, Microsoft, Nexus player, ZTE or XBox One.
