So... where do we start?
First of all, if you can afford it, try League Pass, it's definitely the best service out there and the only official one. If you don't want blackouts, use a VPN and purchase International League Pass.
If you want to go the ILP way and don't mind paying a few extra bucks, take a look at
Tunnelbear, it's an amazing service, extremely reliable and it couldn't be easier to use. It obviously has added value in terms of security / privacy and it allows you to browse the web
from a number of countries, so you have access to other contents that may be restricted online in the US (i.e. you can watch Wimbledon or some golf tournaments on British channels / websites that stream them for free in the UK).
Reborn4HD, like NFL2GO, HeheStreams, Ballstreams (RIP) and a few others are either not that cheap anymore or not worth the hassle nowadays, in my opinion, as you usually have to pay strictly in Bitcoins or other online currencies and sometimes you even have to wait for an invitation or for the website to open the sign-up process, as some of them only allow a limited number of users.
If you want free live streams, then Reddit is a great source, and judging by the quality of NFL streams this season, the main streamers there have definitely upped their game. Other good places to find high quality streams are Spanish websites like RojaDirecta (web based streams and Acestream, lots of content) and Arenavision (strictly Acestream these days, not as much content but still plenty to choose from for sports fans). You'll usually find streams both in English and Spanish in each of those. First Row Sports, which has been mentioned before, is also a nice alternative.
If you want free archived games, google NBAHD, TVREX or NBAREPLAYTV. They usually have them just a few hours after the games end, so for example if you're in Europe you'll have several games in the morning and usually all of them early in the afternoon. Use a good adblock tool if you don't want to be getting constant NSFW ads and pop-ups. Altenartively, you can go the torrent route with a free tracker like 720pier, the RojaDirecta forums (DDL links too) or even a more generic torrent website like KAT.
PS: I've never used any of those websites, I'm just well infomed.
PPS: Always use official channels.
PPPS: I only posted because I saw several people asking for help and the mods kept the thread open. I wouldn't like to be banned so early. Especially not now that the season is about to start.
