Who is playing Sunday Night Football tonight, Oct. 8? (and how to watch)

Another week, another batch of exciting NFL games to watch. Can you believe we’re already a month into the season? Time is flying by too fast! As temperatures start to cool down across the country and people start preparing for Halloween and the fall holidays, others are rocking all of their football gear and crossing their fingers for their bets to hit. Whether or not your Fantasy Football team is doing well, I know everyone’s excited to get comfortable and watch another Sunday Night Football game this evening.

Tonight’s game will see the Dallas Cowboys take on the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium in sunny Santa Clara, California. Who do you think will win?

Unfortunately for Swifties (and maybe fortunately for some NFL fans) we do not expect Taylor Swift to attend this week’s Sunday Night Football game considering the Kansas City Chiefs are not playing the primetime game this time around, but we’re sure it’ll still be an exciting game nevertheless. So here are all the details you need to know about when and how you can watch.

How to watch Sunday Night Football tonight

• Game: Cowboys vs. 49ers
• Time: 8:20 p.m. ET
• Channel: NBC
• Streaming Service: Peacock

Sunday Night Football, just like last year, will air live on the channel NBC. That goes for tonight’s Cowboys vs. 49ers game as well. If you have access to the channel, all you have to do is turn it on at 8:20 p.m. ET to make sure you don’t miss a second. If you don’t have access to cable but you do have the streaming service Peacock, then you’re in luck. Peacock gives subscribers access to NBC live TV, so you can watch the game through their app.

Don’t have NBC or Peacock? That’s okay! There are still other options to watch the Cowboys and 49ers play tonight. Live TV platforms such as FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV all offer NBC, so a subscription to any of those services will allow you to watch Sunday Night Football live. If you’re an avid fan of football, we’d definitely recommend you subscribe to any of the mentioned platforms to watch games all season.

The Cowboys are 3-1, while the 49ers are 4-0 at this point in the season, so it really could be anyone’s game. As we know with football, anything can happen, and I’m sure tonight’s game will be really exciting. The 49ers are looking really great this season so far, and I think they could go all the way to the Super Bowl. That coveted primetime spot will be put to good use tonight, I’m sure!
