The Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams kick off at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday, November 1, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Fox holds the broadcast rights for this Week 8 matchup, which means cord-cutters in the US will need a live TV streaming service that carries the network rather than a traditional cable hookup.
Where to watch
Country | Channel or service | Free or paid --- | --- | --- United States | Fox, via DirecTV, Fox One, Fubo, Hulu, Sling or YouTube TV. NFL+ for local and primetime games on phone or tablet | Paid Australia | 7Plus | Free New Zealand | TVNZ+ | Free
None of the US services above are free outright, but several offer free trials, which is enough to cover a single Sunday game if you haven't used one before.
Free options
Viewers in Australia and New Zealand can watch the broadcast at no cost through 7Plus and TVNZ+ respectively, since those services carry the feed in their home markets. There's no equivalent free option confirmed for US viewers for this game.
What to expect
The Chargers arrive as the NFL's only winless team this season, a distinction that got lonelier last week when the Miami Dolphins beat the New York Jets. Los Angeles has yet to find the formula that turns close losses into wins, and Sunday is as good a chance as any to break the streak against a divisional rival that isn't exactly rolling either.
The Rams sit at 3-4, trailing both the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks in a crowded NFC West. A win over the Chargers wouldn't vault them to the top of the division, but it would keep them within shouting distance heading into the back half of the season.
What happens Sunday matters more for Los Angeles bragging rights than for the broader playoff picture right now. The Chargers need any win to get off the schneid, while the Rams need to start stacking results if they're going to climb past San Francisco and Seattle before the season tightens up. Kickoff is 4:05 p.m. ET, with coverage beginning on Fox and its streaming partners ahead of that.
