How to watch all the NFL preseason games:
Many NFL preseason games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna). If you want to watch out-of-market games, a $7/month subscription to NFL+ will get you access to NFL Network, which will have every out-of-market game in the preseason. The downside of NFL+? When it comes to the regular season, it’s a much less helpful option because there are far fewer NFL Network games during the regular season. In which case, here’s what we recommend to watch both the 2024 NFL preseason AND regular season.
