It’s all about character from here on in. It’s still possible for Dallas and San Fran to make the playoffs, but they need to win out and hope their NFC rivals slip up – but even then that might not be enough. Both franchises will want to give it all they got, and you can follow our guide as we explain where to find a 49ers vs Cowboys live stream and watch all the NFL action online from anywhere today.
Dallas showed they’ve still got some fight left in the tank with a blowout victory over the Bengals last weekend, but Cincinnati did themselves no favors, fumbling three times in the first quarter. It was a case of sweet revenge for Andy Dalton, who threw for two touchdowns against his former team.
49ers vs Cowboys live stream
Today’s San Francisco 49ers vs Dallas Cowboys game kicks off at 1pm ET/10am PT (6pm GMT) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Full NFL live streaming and TV channel details are below – and you can watch your preferred coverage from anywhere by adding a good VPN to your software roster.
But we all know what their issue is. Dallas’ defense has been a horror show right from the off, having surrendered at least 34 points seven times this season, and when Dak Prescott was carried off the field in Week 5 you knew things were going to be bad.
San Francisco’s problems are, of course, equally obvious, but few could argue that Kyle Shanahan hasn’t done a solid job considering the ludicrous scale of his team’s injury list.
The good news is that Nick Mullens will surely get a chance to properly flex his throwing muscles today. He’s been handed a thankless role this season, with San Fran’s campaign already in tatters by the time Jimmy Garoppolo bowed out through injury in Week 8, and poor Mullens has been the lightning rod for much of the Niners’ fans’ frustrations.
With both franchises’ fighting to stay relevant, this should be a good old-fashioned scrap, so read on as we explain how to watch the 49ers vs Cowboys online and get an NFL live stream wherever you are right now.
How to watch the 49ers vs Cowboys from outside your country
If you’ve mismatched a holiday or you’re away on business and you want to watch your country’s coverage from abroad, then you’ll need to use a VPN. This will help you dial in to a location back in your home country to avoid geo-blocks and regain access to the content and services you already pay for back home.
A VPN is generally perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address so you appear to be in a completely different location when the big game is on.

The game kicks off at 6pm GMT in the UK today (Sunday, December 20) and is an odd omission from the Sky Sports NFL calendar – do they need a history lesson or what?!

How to watch Cowboys vs 49ers: live stream NFL in Australia
If you live in Australia and want to watch the NFL this season, you have several options to do so and are generally well covered.
The Cowboys vs 49ers game is being shown in Oz via the NFL Game Pass, which gives you access to every game around. Kick-off is set for 5am AEDT on Monday morning.
If you’re not interested in a subscription just for watching NFL, an average of five games per game week are shown on Foxtel and Kayo Sports.
The Cowboys vs Niners game isn’t one of them, sadly – but fans can still check out its FREE 14-day trial to see if it’s the right streaming solution for their needs.
Not in Australia but still want to catch the NFL action? Grabbing a VPN will let you log into an Australia IP address so you can live stream NFL as if you were at home. We’ve tested it with Kayo as of December 2020 – and can confirm it works very well indeed.
Should I buy an NFL Game Pass?
Watching NFL online has never been easier thanks to the wide variety of streaming services now available. However, the league also has its own streaming service called the NFL Game Pass which allows die-hard football fans to watch every game.
It’s really geared towards international fans and that’s where it’s a great option. In most of the NFL’s main international markets, a Game Pass Pro subscription will get you access to every single regular season and playoff game live, plus the Super Bowl, and you also get the league’s live highlights show, RedZone. It’s currently down to just £1.99 a week or £50 for access through July 2021 in the UK and similar deals are available elsewhere – so if you’re a big fan who watches multiple games every week, it breaks down quite favourably.
As well as the UK and Ireland, the service is available in countries like Mexico, Germany and most of Europe, and Australia – with only ‘domestic markets’ the US and Canada missing out on the full-fat offering.
Instead, there’s a US and Canada-only Game Pass option available that lets you watch commercial-free full game replays right after they’ve finished. Not the worst offer we’ve ever heard, but don’t get caught out – GamePass does not offer live NFL games in the US or Canada.
Should you decide to give Game Pass a shot, apps for Android and iOS mobile devices as well as on the likes of Chromecast, Apple TV, Roku, PS4, and more – plus you can obviously watch on your laptop or desktop computer through a browser.
The only caveat for non-domestic markets (e.g. the UK) are that some games are subject to blackout restrictions due to deals with local pay TV providers (e.g. Sky).
