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 target market, you may just need to turn on your TV (or set up a digital TV antenna). If you want to watch games outside of your target market, a $7-a-month subscription to NFL+ gives you access to NFL Network, which broadcasts all games outside of your target market during the preseason. The downside to NFL+? When it comes to the regular season, it’s a much less helpful option, as there are far fewer NFL Network games during the regular season. In that case, here’s what we recommend for watching both the 2024 NFL preseason and the 2024 NFL preseason. AND regular season.
