Quarterback Drake Maye and the New England Patriots will welcome Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers for a Week 17 matchup at Gillette Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The game between the AFC rivals will kick off at 1 p.m. ET on the NFL Network. First-year coach Jim Harbaugh has had a successful season with the 9-6 Chargers and appears poised to lead them to a playoff berth, but after a solid performance from Drake Maye last week against the Buffalo Bills, the 3-12 Pats have gained some momentum as the season draws to a close. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch this week’s Chargers vs. Patriots game and where to find live game-day updates.

How to watch every NFL game this season:

Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna). A $7/month subscription to NFL+ will get you access to NFL Network which can be great for watching some games, but the downside of NFL+ is that when it comes to the regular season, it’s just local and primetime games (and only on mobile or tablet!). In which case, here’s what we recommend to watch the NFL.
