NFL Sunday Ticket provides the most comprehensive way to watch NFL games without cable. However, it’s only available to DIRECTV satellite subscribers in the US. With some tweaks, you can install and jailbreak NFL Sunday Ticket on your Firestick to unlock access without a DIRECTV plan.
This detailed guide will walk you through the entire process of jailbreaking your Amazon Fire TV Stick to install NFL Sunday Ticket and enjoy live, out-of-market NFL games all season long.
Prerequisites: What You’ll Need
Before jailbreaking your Firestick for NFL Sunday Ticket, make sure you have the following:
– 4th Gen or newer Amazon Firestick device. Older generations may not be compatible.
– WiFi internet connection. The Firestick must be connected to download apps.
– A computer for initial Firestick setup and jailbreak steps.
– Downloader app on your Firestick to sideload files.
– ES File Explorer for file management on the Firestick.
– Mouse Toggle app to navigate apps not optimized for TV.
– VPN service such as NordVPN or ExpressVPN.
Step 1: Enable ADB Debugging
The first step is enabling ADB debugging on your Firestick to allow sideloading of apps and jailbreak files.
1. From the Firestick home screen, go to Settings > My Fire TV > Developer Options.
2. Enable both ADB Debugging and Apps from Unknown Sources.
3. Under Device, find the IP address of your Firestick on the network. Make a note of this.
4. On your computer, install ADB tools and drivers for your Firestick model.
With ADB debugging enabled, you can now sideload apps outside the Amazon App Store.
Step 2: Download Necessary Apps on your Firestick
Next, install the apps needed for the NFL Sunday Ticket jailbreak:
1. Search for and install the Downloader app from the Amazon App Store. Open it when installed.
2. In the URL box, enter http://bit.ly/kmoxdb and click Go to install the Kodi media center.
3. Search for and install ES File Explorer to manage files.
4. Install Mouse Toggle to control apps lacking remote support.
Step 3: Jailbreak Your Firestick
Now it’s time to actually jailbreak the Firestick using ADB tools on a computer:
1. Connect your Firestick and computer to the same WiFi network.
2. On your computer, open a command prompt and enter: adb connect [FirestickIPaddress]
3. Open a browser window and go to http://bit.ly/firestickjb to download the jailbreak zip file.
4. Drag the downloaded file into the command prompt window from Step 2.
5. When the jailbreak is finished, close the command prompt and disconnect your Firestick.
Your Firestick is now jailbroken and ready for NFL Sunday Ticket installation!
Step 4: Install NFL Sunday Ticket
With jailbreaking complete, NFL Sunday Ticket can now be sideloaded:
1. On a computer, go to http://bit.ly/nflstks to download the NFLSTK apk file.
2. Connect to your Firestick IP address again through ADB with the command: adb connect
3. Drag the downloaded NFLSTK.apk file into the ADB command prompt to install it.
4. On your Firestick, open Downloader and enter http://bit.ly/nflxml to install the XML app file.
You can now open the NFLSTK app and activate your subscription!
Activating Your Subscription
Before you can watch NFL Sunday Ticket on your jailbroken Firestick, you’ll need to activate a subscription or free trial:
– If you have a DIRECTV satellite plan, you can activate NFL Sunday Ticket by signing into your DIRECTV account details in the NFLSTK app.
– Without a DIRECTV account, you can start a 7-day free trial by entering a valid US zip code when prompted.
– Consider using a VPN like NordVPN to route your traffic through a US-based server and unlock access.
Once your subscription is verified, you can view live NFL games in the NFL Sunday Ticket app each week!
Using a VPN for NFL Games
We recommend always running a VPN when streaming pirated or restricted content like NFL Sunday Ticket. A VPN like NordVPN or ExpressVPN has several benefits:
– Masks your identity and location to avoid detection.
– Routes your traffic through a specific server to bypass region restrictions.
– Encrypts your data for better security and privacy.
– Avoids bandwidth throttling or internet blocking by your ISP.
Make sure to set up and connect to your VPN before launching the NFLSTK app each time. This provides an extra layer of protection.
