Buccaneers vs Saints is about to begin, starting at 4:25 p.m. ET / 1:25 p.m. PT today (Sunday, Sept. 13). It's going to be broadcast on FOX.
It's time for the Buccaneers vs Saints live stream that became all the more interesting during the offseason. This NFL live stream sees former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on a new team and reunited with former Patriot, the always energetic tight end Rob "Gronk" Gronkowsi.
Yes, the future hall of famer (Brady) and the recent WWE 24/7 Champion (Gronk) have taken their talents to Tampa Bay, but somehow they're not the odds on favorite. That's because NO QB Drew Brees and his team are favored by about a field goal's worth, likely because they've been together for longer, and the lack of pre-season games hurts this new Buccs lineup.
While the Houston Texans are looked at as a team that blew its postseason chances and still get weird looks for it, the Saints are on the other side of the coin. Still well regarded and given a shot by most, even going up against these titans with all their Super Bowl rings.
Which leaves me wondering if Brady & co. will not disappoint and live up to the expectations of his winning ways, and spend the game behind before a savage fourth quarter comeback win. The Buccs may be down WR Mike Evans, which would make things all the tougher for Brady.
The biggest question, inarguably, is how Tom Brady performs without the sentient football brain in a hoodie that is Bill Belichick coaching him. Speaking of coaching, Saints coach Sean Payton's not exactly known for starting off the season on the right foot.

How to watch Buccaneers vs Saints live streams with a VPN
Football fans, if for some reason you've had to leave your own "bubble" — or you've been hit by a dreaded local blackout — and you can't watch the Buccaneers vs Saints live streams you want, you're not out of luck. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won't hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for.

Buccaneers vs Saints live streams in the US
In America, Buccaneers vs Saints 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 4:25 p.m. ET / 1:25 p.m. PT, today (Sunday, September 13).
If FOX, ESPN and NBC have typically been enough to get you all the football you need, you could rely on Sling, (which doesn't include CBS and the NFL Network, 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 and NBC) costs $45 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $59.99 per month.
NFL Sunday Ticket: Buccaneers vs Saints is one of the games that DirecTV subscribers can watch via NFL Sunday Ticket (provided that you're not living in the market of either team). Sunday Ticket streams live games in their entirety to televisions, computers, Android and iOS devices, and game consoles.
You can also get NFL Sunday Ticket as a stand-alone service — but only if you live in an area that doesn't get DirecTV service.
