The road to the 2025 NFL season is officially underway, with the preseason having kicked off with the Pro Football Hall of Fame game between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Detroit Lions on July 31. As teams and players warm up for the regular season, fans have multiple options to catch all the action.
How to Watch the Games
For fans with traditional cable, most games will be broadcast on each team’s local affiliate network. Additionally, several national networks will air select games, including FOX, Amazon Prime Video, CBS, ESPN, and NBC. The NFL Network will also provide coverage of numerous matchups throughout the preseason.
For those looking to cut the cord, various streaming services offer a way to watch the games live. Platforms such as YouTube TV and Fubo TV carry the major national and local channels needed for comprehensive coverage. Fubo’s entry-level plan, for example, starts at $85 a month and includes a wide range of channels, with a five-day free trial for new users. Over-the-air antennas also remain a viable, free option for picking up local broadcasts from FOX, NBC, or CBS.
The NFL’s own streaming service, NFL+, offers all preseason games live on mobile devices, with a premium plan providing access to replays and other exclusive content.
