Heading to the Hard Rock Stadium is the best way for any Dolphins fan to enjoy the games, but what if you can’t get there to see the action? The good news is that following Miami online is now easier than ever, so let’s look at some of the best ways of doing this.
Stream the Games
There are a few ways to stream NFL games on your smart TV or computer. For example, the ESPN+ service and the NFL Game Pass are among the most popular options, and you can do this using their mobile apps if that suits your lifestyle better. But first, you need to check which network has the games you’re interested in watching.
The new NFL media rights contract begins with the 2023 season, and it will see the regular season games split over several broadcasters, while the Super Bowls that are played until 2033 will be divided up among FOX, NBC, ABC, and CBS. Amazon is reportedly paying $1 billion each year to show Thursday Night Football during this period.
Why do the networks spend so much money obtaining the rights to show this sport? Football is big business for the networks. According to ExpressVPN’s infographic, it’s the sport most fans search for when looking for online streams. Basketball, baseball, soccer, and hockey are the other main sports that fans want to watch. Football leads the way in numerous states, with hockey being more popular in Minnesota.
The fact that several networks show the games explains why people who want to catch all the action tend to look for a streaming or cable package that covers all these networks. The likes of Hulu, fuboTV, and Peacock all offer packages that allow you to see every game across the different networks.
Use the Miami Dolphins App
You can download the Dolphins app for your mobile device, and it’s free from the Google Play Store or the App Store. While you can’t watch the games live on this app, you can catch up with the latest team news, videos, and other exciting content at any time.
Having this on your device is also useful when going to the stadium, as the app lets you access your digital tickets and look at the parking maps. You can even order food online using it when you’re at a game, meaning that you can avoid long lines and order with a few clicks.
Follow on Social Media
Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter give us a new way of following our favorite teams, as we can react instantly to what’s happening and see other fans’ reactions. You might be surprised to see how many people post comments, images, and videos as games go on.
The official Miami Dolphins account on Instagram has 1.4 million followers and more than 10,000 posts at the time of writing. You could also follow a feed that brings together the franchise’s latest news from different social media sources.
Using as many of these different methods as you want to, you can enjoy watching the Miami Dolphins in the way that most suits you this year.
