Football season essentials

TCL 55-inch 5-Series 4K UHD Dolby Vision HDR QLED Roku Smart TV

Nothing beats watching a game on the big screen, and Kender says this affordable option is a Reviewed.com favorite. It already has Roku, the streaming device, built-in, so you can watch NBC Sports, ESPN and NFL right away.

Roku Ultra 2020

The latest Roku Ultra streaming device, this tech item is not to be missed. It streams everything from Netflix and AppleTV+ to Spotify in 4K, so you can enjoy a smooth streaming experience, no matter what you are watching or listening to.

Yeti Rambler 20-ounce Tumbler

The Yeti Rambler is beloved by many for a reason — it keeps everything inside ice cold or piping hot for hours on end, without fail. It's sleek, dishwasher-safe and a must-have, whether you'll be watching the games from home or in the stands.

Coleman 9-Can Soft Sided Cooler

This cooler is tiny but mighty, according to the crew at Reviewed.com. It can keep nine cans cold for over six hours but also boasts enough storage for other essentials like cutlery, snacks and more.

Philips Premium Airfryer XXL

If you don't have an air fryer by now, you'll want one in your kitchen this football season. It can crisp wings in a pinch and does it all without any greasy oils or added fat. Reviewed is calling it the "most user-friendly air fryer we tested," since it has all of the bells and whistles without too many buttons or a complex setup.
