Panthers vs. Saints live stream features two teams that defy simple explanation. Each has had high and low points this season, and the Saints are heavily favored for Sunday's contest at the New Orleans Superdome, but anything can happen in this NFL live stream.

Psychologically, the 3-3 Panthers are certainly underdogs, coming off last week's contest against the Chicago Bears in which they never gained the upper hand. That 23-16 loss broke a three-game winning streak that saw the team rally.

In contrast, the Saints, fresh off two straight wins and a bye week rest, sit in second place in the NFC South with a 3-2 record.

The instructions for the Panthers are clear. For quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, it was his worst game of the season. (He was also sacked twice and lost 25 yards.) But this is not typical Bridgewater: even discounting last week's slip-up, his completion percentage this season is an impressive 70.9 percent.

Historical precedent is not a guide to this game. The teams are tied at 25-25 in the regular season and the Saints have won once in the playoffs; oddsmakers at BetMGM currently favor the Saints by 7 points.

Here's everything you need to watch the Panthers-Saints live stream:

Football fans, if for some reason you had to leave your "bubble" - or where you are for some odd reason FOX can't get - if you can't watch the Panthers vs. Saints live stream you want, you're not out of luck. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can pretend you're surfing the web from your hometown (or anywhere else where power outages don't occur) and access the same streaming services you've already paid for.

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We tested a variety of services and chose ExpressVPN as the best VPN overall; ExpressVPN offers great speed, excellent customer service, and IPVanish's low pricing is shocking.

In the US, Panthers vs. Saints will be broadcast on FOX, which is included in most cable TV packages and is available on two of our favorite streaming services, fuboTV and Sling TV. The game begins tomorrow (Sunday, October 25) at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. ET.

If you can watch all the football you need on FOX, ESPN, NBC, and NFL Network, you can rely on Sling (which does not include CBS or NFL RedZone).

A more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC, and NFL Network. This makes it one of the best streaming services.

Sling Orange & Blue (required to watch ESPN, FOX, NBC, and NFL Network) costs $45 per month, whereas the Fubo TV Standard package offers all of the above for $59.99 per month.

NFL Sunday Ticket: Panthers vs. Saints is one of the games DirecTV subscribers can watch via NFL Sunday Ticket (provided you do not live in either team's market). Sunday Ticket streams live games entirely to TVs, computers, Android and iOS devices, and game consoles.

NFL Sunday Ticket is also available on its own, but only if you live in an area not served by DirecTV.

If you just want to watch on your phone, the Yahoo Sports app for iOS and Android delivers all NFL games broadcast in local TV markets to your smartphone or tablet for free.

This includes Monday Night Football and Thursday Night Football. You can also sign in to your NFL Game Pass subscription and stream from the Yahoo app.

With one of our best TV antenna picks, you can watch live - and only - if your local FOX affiliate is showing Panthers vs. Saints.

Annoyingly, American football fans across the pond can't get Panthers vs Saints on Sky Sports NFL, the standard way to watch NFL games in the UK.

If you are an existing Sky customer, you can get all of that with the Sky Sports Complete Pack for £39/month.

If you don't want to spend that much money, you can get a less comprehensive Sky Sports pass from Now TV. Daily, weekly, and monthly passes range from £9.99 to £33.99.

Ladies and gentlemen, go to Da Zone. More specifically, Canadian football fans need DAZN to watch a live stream of Panthers vs. Saints in Canada.
