NFL is live streaming the kickoff of football season. In HD. Online- and no you don’t have to confirm your cable provider to get access.

Hurry up and watch, they usually wait to live stream towards the end of the season. Remember, cable providers that carry local NBC stations pay re-transmission fees even though you can access that channel with an antenna. (Though is some cases, like mine, you might need a booster.) This gives little incentive for NBC to put all their broadcast games up on the internet for free.

NBC link to watch Available on desktops and tablets. Sorry mobile phones. The NFL doesn’t love you that much.
