Cancel your backup dinner plans, football fans — FOX Sports and Tubi just handed the NFL world an early holiday gift. This year’s Thanksgiving Day showdown between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers won’t just air on FOX. It’s going to stream free in 4K on Tubi. Yes, free. Yes, 4K.
The annual “John Madden Thanksgiving Celebration” is already one of the most-watched events in football. Last year’s Thanksgiving game was the most-watched regular-season NFL game of the year. Now, with FOX and Tubi linking arms, millions of fans can tune in without a subscription, without cable, and without missing a single detail — from the sweat on Jared Goff’s brow to the inevitable stuffing references on the broadcast.
The game kicks off Thursday, November 27 at 1:00 PM ET, when the Lions host the Packers in a massive NFC North clash. For Detroit, it’s another chance to prove their resurgence isn’t a fluke. For Green Bay, it’s about crashing the turkey party and spoiling Motor City’s holiday. Either way, it’s must-watch football.
And here’s the kicker: Tubi isn’t new to breaking streaming records. Earlier this year, FOX Sports and Tubi shattered numbers with the most-streamed Super Bowl in history, drawing over 24 million unique viewers. This Thanksgiving partnership is positioned to blow the roof off again — with fans across the country getting in on the action at zero cost.
If you’re a cord-cutter or just the family member always stuck at the “kids’ table” without control of the TV remote, this is your chance to shine. Whip out your phone, fire up Tubi, and brag that you brought Thanksgiving football to the table for free.
So, while your uncle argues about who carved the turkey wrong and your cousin falls asleep mid-pie, FOX and Tubi will make sure the real drama — Packers vs. Lions — plays out in crystal-clear 4K right in your hands.
Bottom line: The football feast is free. The only thing you’ll have to pay for? The extra slice of pumpkin pie you’re about to regret.
