It’s time, NFL fans, to get ready for NFL preseason games. While the Hall of Fame game was recently played, many fans don’t consider that the true start of preseason play. All of that changes, though, with three games on the schedule for Thursday, August 7, 2025.
With these games taking place, fans want to watch players try to make their way onto teams’ rosters. There are a number of options for streaming services. Maybe NFL fans should check these out.
Where Will NFL Preseason Games Air on Streaming?
Several NFL teams will use local television stations for their preseason games. While this happens, it doesn’t mean that fans have no outlet to watch on TV. Some games will air on the NFL Network (also available on NFL+), Amazon Prime Video, CBS, ESPN, Fox, and NBC.
As for streaming services, hardcore NFL fans need to give a look at YouTube TV, which also allows NFL Sunday Ticket to be purchased as well. Just about all NFL preseason games will be available on YouTube TV.
Fans may already know about the NFL Sunday Ticket and the type of coverage it offers. According to Yahoo! Sports, the Sunday Ticket package costs $480 and allows fans to see every Sunday out-of-market game.
