The San Francisco 49ers have cruised to a 10-1 record and are establishing themselves as a legitimate Super Bowl contender. The Baltimore Ravens, at 9-2, can make the same claim. And these two teams collide today (Dec. 1) in a match-up you're not going to want to miss.

Thanks to streaming options, you don't have to. There are plenty of ways to watch the 49ers vs. Ravens game, even if it's not the one being broadcast in your area. Here's how to live stream today's matchup between San Francisco and Baltimore.

When can I watch the 49ers vs. Ravens game?

The San Francisco 49ers travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens in a rematch of Super Bowl XLVII (and what fans of the two teams hope will be a preview of Super Bowl LIV in January). The 49ers vs. Ravens game kicks off at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, and Fox will broadcast the game.

According to 506sports, most of the country will get the 49ers vs. Ravens game, though New York and the upper Midwest will see the New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers instead. Smaller sections of the country will get the Eagles vs. Dolphins, Buccaneers vs. Titans and Rams vs. Cardinals in lieu of the 49ers vs. Ravens game.

In the UK, you can watch the game live on Sky Sports Action. If you don't subscribe to Sky Sports, a £9.99 Sky Sports day pass from Now TV lets you watch the sports channel for 24 hours.
