The Bills and Jets have both had decent starts to the season, with the Bills winning three of their first five games and the Jets winning two of the five.

The Bills vs. Jets game will be broadcast on both ABC and ESPN in the US. If you don't have access to the channels through traditional cable, you can still access the game via live TV streaming packages like Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo.
Sling TV is the cheapest option available. Sling's Orange plan carries ESPN and 34 additional live TV packages, including TNT and TBS, so it's a solid month-to-month service for fans across several sports. Subscriptions start at $40/month, but Sling is currently offering $25 off your first month of service, making it just $15 up front today.
DirecTV Stream and Fubo are two other sports-friendly live TV options with both ABC and ESPN. They're a bit more on the expensive side compared to Sling, but they offer a vast selection of additional channels. DirecTV Stream plans start at 90+ channels and Fubo plans start at 100+. Fubo is a bit cheaper, at $80/month, and comes with a seven-day free trial. DirecTV Stream offers a five-day free trial and plans starting at $87/month.
The Bills vs. Jets game will air on Channel 5 in the UK. While most NFL coverage falls under DAZN overseas, select Monday Night Football games are available to British folks for free. Users just need to create a free My5 account if they don't already have one, and then they're all set to start live streaming Channel 5. Since the game is simulcast as it airs in the US, this will come on a bit late in the UK, with kickoff at 1:15 a.m. BST on Tuesday.
If you happen to be away during the game, you can still access your usual viewing options, like the UK's free stream, with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are handy cybersecurity tools that let you temporarily change your device's virtual location. This way, you can keep up with all of your usual websites, apps, and subscriptions while traveling abroad in the same way you would back home.
If you don't already have a VPN, our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN. It's easy to use and has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there's no sweat if you find that it's not what you're looking for. Additional details are available in our ExpressVPN review, and we've outlined how to use a VPN below.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
