← All Event GuidesHow to Stream on Your Outdoor Movie Screen
Every streaming device that works with our screens, where to watch NFL and college football, a three step setup, and tips for a flawless night.
🎯 What You Need
A streaming device, your account login, and our HDMI cable. That is it.
📱 Recommended Streaming Devices
📱 Smartphone or Tablet, via HDMI Adapter
Best for: NFL Sunday Ticket, ESPN Plus, Peacock, Apple TV Plus, Netflix, YouTube
Works with any streaming app you already have. Use a Lightning to HDMI or USB-C to HDMI adapter, around $25 to $40 at Best Buy or Amazon. Turn off notifications before the game starts so nothing interrupts the stream.
🔥 Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
Best for: NFL on Prime Video, Thursday Night Football, Netflix, Hulu, Tubi
Plugs directly into our HDMI port. Easy setup, around $50, and handles 4K content beautifully on our big screens. Pre-login before your event so setup takes under two minutes.
🍎 Apple TV 4K
Best for: Apple TV Plus, NFL Sunday Ticket via YouTube TV, AirPlay from iPhone
The smoothest experience for Apple users. AirPlay lets you mirror your iPhone wirelessly to the screen with no extra cables, so you can skip the remote entirely.
🟣 Google Chromecast or Google TV
Best for: YouTube TV, NFL Sunday Ticket, Netflix, Disney Plus, Google Play Movies
Cast directly from your Android phone or Chrome browser. YouTube TV is one of the best all-in-one options for live NFL, and it carries Sunday Ticket as an add-on so you get every game.
🔵 Roku Streaming Stick Plus
Best for: Paramount Plus for CBS NFL games, Peacock for Sunday Night Football, Netflix, Hulu
Simple and reliable. Works with every major streaming service and has the easiest interface to hand off to guests. Roku also has a free channel with thousands of movies for post-game entertainment.
💻 Laptop, via HDMI Cable
Best for: Any browser-based stream including ESPN.com, NFL.com, YouTube, Peacock, Paramount Plus
The most flexible option. If it plays in your browser, it plays on our big screen. Download content offline beforehand as a backup if outdoor WiFi is spotty.
