How to watch for free: The Buccaneers vs. Cowboys game will stream for free on 7Plus. You can use a VPN like ExpressVPN, our pick for location spoofing, to connect to a server in Australia and catch the match live for free. In the US, you may be able to watch with a streaming trial from Amazon Prime Video.
It’s crazy to think that we’re almost halfway through NFL season, and season outlooks are already starting to solidify for certain teams. Heading into Week 5, the Buccaneers remain one of only five teams with no wins. They could really use a turnaround tonight. The Cowboys, meanwhile, sit at 2-2 and need another win if they want to keep up with the Giants and Eagles in the NFC East.
Can Tampa Bay turn their disastrous season around? Will Dallas get an easy win before they face Philadelphia in two weeks? You won’t want to miss what happens next. Tonight’s Thursday Night Football matchup has a premium streaming option, but there are also two ways to catch the game for free.

Don’t want to subscribe to another streaming service to watch the game? You could also sign up for a 30-day Amazon Prime Free Trial (just don’t forget to cancel in time!). Additionally, 7Plus will stream the game for free in Australia, and you may be able to access it using a virtual private network (VPN).
A VPN lets you virtually travel the world by connecting to servers in other countries and spoofing your geographic location. This method should let you access geo-restricted content, such as NFL games broadcast outside of your direct market. We recommend using Express VPN, our top VPN pick for location spoofing. With servers across the globe, ExpressVPN lets you spoof your location and unlock the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Dallas Cowboys game for free viewing.
Follow these steps to stream the Buccaneers vs. Cowboys game with a VPN:
-
Subscribe to a streaming-friendly VPN (like ExpressVPN).
-
Download the VPN app on your preferred device.
-
Connect to a server in Australia.
-
Visit 7plus (or another live streaming option) and start watching.
Note: If you’re asked to add a postal code during sign-up, enter a postal code for the region where you want to connect your server to avoid disruption.
The best VPN services that let you connect to a server in another region usually aren’t free. However, many VPNs also offer a free trial for first-time users. If you can take advantage of that, you’ll be able to watch a number of NFL games online without paying a dime.

Experience
As PCMag’s editor of how to content, I have to cover a wide variety of topics and also make our stories accessible to everyday users. Considering my history as a technical writer, copywriter, and all-around freelancer covering baseball, comics, and more at various outlets, I am used to making myself into an expert.
I believe tech corporations are bad, but you might as well know how to use technology in everyday life. Want more how to content delivered right to your inbox? Sign up for the tips and tricks newsletter that I curate three times a week.
My job as how-to guru means I use just about every gadget under the sun, so I can figure out how everything works. I work from a Lenovo ThinkPad running Windows 11, but also have a very large Dell Inspiron 17 3000 and Apple silicon MacBook. I have a Google Pixel 6a for personal use and use a Galaxy Z Flip 4 for additional Samsung-related testing. For iOS coverage, an iPhone 13 mini works like a charm, though it’s already becoming a little long in the tooth.
My desktop situation includes a dual monitor setup with a modest Acer monitor. I also use a Logitech vertical mouse (who can use these ThinkPad trackpads) and a Havit keyboard (my first mechanical keyboard; I love it but my wife hates it!). I’m a recent convert from wired headphones; I have Anker Soundcore Liberty Air wireless earbuds for personal use and have taken to the Sennheiser HD 450BT headphones for work.
Whenever I have a second to myself, I’m probably gaming on my Nintendo Switch 2, Steam Deck, or Xbox Series S. I also still have a bunch of classic consoles lying around as well.
