NFL fans who don’t live in Buffalo or Los Angeles are not happy about the Bills–Chargers game being put behind a paywall.

On Saturday night, NBC will air their first game streamed exclusively on their Peacock streaming app.

While the game is being aired on local stations in Buffalo or Los Angeles, everyone else needs to subscribe and pay at least $5.99 a month for Peacock to be able to watch the game. Peacock will also stream an exclusive NFL playoff game in a few weeks.

“We are excited to work with a great partner in Peacock to present the first-ever exclusively live-streamed NFL playoff game this upcoming season,” said Hans Schroeder, NFL Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of NFL Media. “Expanding the digital distribution of NFL content while maintaining wide reach for our games continues to be a key priority for the League, and bringing the excitement of an NFL playoff game exclusively to Peacock’s streaming platform is the next step in that strategy.”

Fans blasted the NFL and NBC for putting a regular season game behind a paywall.
