Check out our guide to how to watch Week 8 of the NFL season, especially if you're one of those fans wondering how to enjoy the action live without cable or having to subscribe to streaming platforms.

NFL Reddit stream: How to watch free NFL Week 8 games?

You can't stream NFL games for free on Reddit anymore because the platform has banned the r/nflstreams subreddit because of copyright infringement. The same thing happened with subreddits belonging to NBA and MMA.

Reddit shut it down because the subreddits were, well, illegal. The platform made the move without any notice from the NFL. They released the following statement after the ban:

“Our policy is to close the accounts of users, in appropriate circumstances, who have repeatedly been charged with copyright infringement. Sometimes a repeat infringement problem is limited to one user, and we close just that user’s account. Other times, the problem pervades a whole subreddit community, and we close the subreddit.”
