Many of the NFL preseason games are broadcast on local channels, so if you want to watch a game in your market, all you have to do is turn on the TV (or tune in a digital antenna). If you want to watch games outside of your market, a $7-per-month NFL+ subscription gives you access to NFL Network, which features all of the out-of-market games during the preseason. The downside to NFL+? When it comes to the regular season, it’s a much less helpful option, as there are significantly fewer NFL Network games during the regular season. In that case, here’s what we recommend to watch both the 2024 NFL preseason AND regular season.
