The Giants vs Cowboys game begins at 4:25 p.m. ET / 1:25 p.m. PT today (Sunday, Oct. 11).
It's on CBS, as a part of Week 5 of the NFL 2020 season.

The Giants vs Cowboys live stream is a shootout so far. Seriously, Dallas leads at halftime 24-20, thanks to a "Philly Special" play that saw Dak Prescott catch a touchdown pass to end the first half.

Hopefully, this NFL live stream will continue to be entertaining in the second half, as Dallas tries to go to 2-4 and the Giants fight to earn an ounce of respect in the NFL

So, can the Giants finally get a single win? Here are the best ways to watch catch the Giants vs Cowboys live stream.

How to watch Giants vs Cowboys live streams with a VPN

Football fans, if for some reason you've had to leave your own "bubble" — or you can't get the NFL Network where you are for some strange reason — and you can't watch the Giants vs Cowboys 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. 

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN offers superb speeds and excellent customer service, and IPVanish's low pricing is shocking.

Sling TV, our other favorite live TV service, won't be enough to help, as its array of NFL game-hosting networks — FOX, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network — lacks CBS and 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.
