New York Jets vs. New England Patriots live stream: watch the NFL for free

It’s Week 18 in the NFL season, meaning teams only have one more game left on the schedule. One of those games features the New York Jets (6-10) taking on the New England Patriots (4-12). Coverage on Fox begins at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on January 7. Chris Myers and Robert Smith will call the game from the booth, with Jen Hale reporting from the sidelines at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Will this be Bill Belichick’s last game as the coach of the New England Patriots? That’s the biggest storyline on Sunday since the Jets and Patriots cannot make the postseason. Both teams want to win, however, a loss will help improve that team’s draft position in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Jets have lost 15 straight games to the New England Patriots, the longest active head-to-head streak. The last Jets’ victory came in December 2015, with New York edging out the Pats in overtime by a score of 26-20.

Will the Jets end the losing streak? Will Belichick ride off into the sunset with a win in what could be his final game in New England? The only way to find out is to watch the game on Fox this Sunday afternoon. If you don’t have cable, there are alternative ways to watch the game. One of those options is Sling TV, a streaming television service. You can scroll below if you want more information on Sling TV.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Philadelphia 76ers live stream: how to watch the NBA online
Joel Embiid walks off the basketball court.

On the final day of the NBA regular season, Eastern Conference rivals will square up as the Brooklyn Nets head south to take on the Philadelphia 76ers. The game starts at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on Sunday, April 14. The 76ers will host the game inside the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

The Nets season ends today after the team failed to qualify for the playoffs. It will be a long offseason in Brooklyn, as the organization needs to decide if it wants to sell off players for draft assets and start a rebuild. Philadelphia, however, will get at least one more week of games in the postseason, whether in the Play-In Tournament or first round. With a healthy Joel Embiid, the 76ers are one of the more dangerous teams in the Eastern Conference.
