Here’s how to watch all NFL preseason games:
Many NFL preseason games are broadcast on local channels, so if you want to watch a game in your own market, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or installing a digital TV antenna). If you want to watch games outside your market, a $7/month subscription to NFL+ gets you access to NFL Network, which will have all the preseason games outside your market. The downside to NFL+? When it comes to the regular season, it’s a much less useful option since there are far fewer NFL Network games during the regular season. In that case, we recommend watching both the 2024 NFL preseason AND regular season.
