49ers vs Giants live stream: How to watch NFL week 3 game online
The 49ers vs Giants live stream will deliver a massive coastal rivalry with young QBs
The 49ers vs Giants game is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT today (Sunday, September 27).
It's on FOX, as a part of Week 3 of the NFL 2020 season.
It's game time as the 49ers vs Giants live stream takes us into week 3 with a classic NFC rivalry. Both teams are fighting injuries, but the visitors might be the worse for wear, even though the Giants (0-2) have the worse record.
That being said, San Francisco has its own concerns with this NFL live stream. This is the second week in a row the Niners have to play on the "sticky" artificial surface of the MetLife Stadium. While they beat the Jets last weekend on this same turf, they left weaker for it.

The 49ers are fighting injuries up and down the lineup, with Nick Bosa, Solomon Thomas, Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman all out. The Giants are more used to this field, it seems.
That all said, San Francisco is favored to take this game, even with Jimmy Garoppolo injured. Nick Mullens is expected to start in his place. The Giants' two major injuries — Saquon Barkley out for the season with a torn ACL and Sterling Shepard on IR with turf toe — are likely heavily weighing their odd down.
Fortunately for many, this game will be on a major broadcast TV channel, so it won't be as hard to get as the last Thursday Night Football games have been.

49ers vs Giants live streams in the US
In America, 49ers vs Giants is going to be broadcast on FOX, which is included on most cable TV packages and is available on two of our favorite streaming services, fuboTV and Sling TV. The game starts at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT, today (Sunday, Sept. 27).
If FOX, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network have typically been enough to get you all the football you need, you could rely on Sling (which doesn't include CBS or NFL RedZone).
The more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
It's a case of "you get what you pay for" as Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $45 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $59.99 per month.
