How to watch every NFL game in one place in 2023

Man watching NFL on Dish.

Live sports have a broadcasting problem, as many are figuring out. Even with a variety of streaming services easily accessible, regular broadcasts are being split up piecemeal between them. It means even if you're only following one team, your favorite team, you must spread your time between several networks just to watch the complete season. But what if we told you there was a way to watch them all in one place, or rather to watch every single NFL game in the rest of the season through one network? That place is Dish Network, and allow us to explain.

Dish Network offers a variety of broadcast channels, allowing you to catch the regular NFL season, the Playoffs, and the Super Bowl, including even pre-season football games, all in one place. ESPN+, CBS, ESPN, NFL Network, they're all here. You'll never miss a game again -- college ball, either. NFL RedZone from the NFL Network is available too. Want to know something even crazier? You can watch up to four live sports games at once with Dish's multi-view feature.

Part of what makes these movies so thrilling is seeing great actors take fantasy material seriously, but some actors rise to that task better than others. Across more than 20 years of films, here are the 10 best adult performances in the Harry Potter franchise.
