GET 3 FREE WEEKS: As of Jan. 10, YouTube TV is offering new users a 21-day free trial to test out the live TV streaming service. After that, you'll pay just $59.99 per month for your first three months of the YouTube TV Base Plan — that's $69 in savings.

The fight to make it to the Big Game — aka the NFL playoffs — is arguably more exciting than the actual season finale. But aside from one game airing on Prime Video (the Ravens vs. Steelers on Saturday night), you're going to need local networks. If you already cut the cord on cable, live TV streaming services are the best way to access NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX. The problem is they aren't cheap. That's where this game-changing extended free trial to YouTube TV comes in.

As of Jan. 10, new users can get three weeks of the YouTube TV Base Plan for free. That means you can watch most of this weekend's wildcard games, plus the divisional round and conference title round without spending any money. Once the free trial wraps up, the introductory offer kicks in for $59.99 per month for your first three months. Usually $82.99, that saves you $69 total. The introductory offer is set to expire on Jan. 12, so we recommend securing it stat.

Of course, YouTube TV's Base Plan gets you a whole lot more than just NFL games. It unlocks access to over 100 different live channels, including local broadcast stations, news channels like CNN and Fox News, specialty networks like Discovery and Bravo, sports channels like FS1, ESPN, Golf, and NFL Network, and kids networks like Nickelodeon and Disney. You can check your local lineup before you commit. Unlimited DVR space, special features like Key Plays View, six different household accounts, and three simultaneous streams are also included.

After the promotion period ends, you'll automatically be charged full price, which is now — gulp — $82.99 per month, unless you cancel.
