How to watch all NFL preseason games:
Many preseason NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking for a game in the market, it could be as simple as Turn on your TV (or Digital TV antenna setup). If you want to watch games outside of the market, you can get $5 a month Subscribe to NFL+ It will give you access to every off-market game in the season (and pre-season). There will also be a few nationally televised NFL games airing on NBC, ESPN, Fox, and CBS (and one streaming on Amazon Prime Video) in the coming weeks. Here’s how to watch every NFL preseason game in 2023.
Fubo TV gives you access to ESPN, NFL Network, Fox, ABC, CBS, and over 100 other live channels. At $75 per month, the live TV service is definitely the most expensive option on this list but it offers nearly every channel you’ll need to watch the NFL preseason and regular season, but still leaves you with significant savings compared to a traditional cable package. Fubo subscribers also get 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage. The platform offers a 7-day free trial period.
A basic NFL+ subscription will get you live, out-of-market preseason games across supported devices, live local, regular season, and postseason games on your phone or tablet, and live audio for every game of the season across supported devices. NFL + Premium, while the slightly higher price at $14.99 per month (or $80 per year) also includes access to the NFL Network and NFL RedZone, as well as full, condensed replays of every game across supported devices.
Amazon Prime Video is the exclusive home of the NFL Thursday Night Football games. In addition to Amazon Prime Video, an Amazon Prime subscription includes free shipping, exclusive offers, access to the Prime Day 2023 sale event, Amazon Music, a free year of GrubHub+, and more. A standard Amazon Prime subscription is $15 per month or $139 per year, but discounts are available to students and those on eligible government assistance. You can try Amazon Prime for free for 30 days.
Wait, a flat TV antenna? Aren’t these things supposed to have long, telescopic metal rods (aka rabbit ears)? Nope, this new design (which you’ll see on countless other brands) works too, and it’s not meant to sit on top of your TV. Alternatively, you can mount it to a wall or window with the included adhesive pads, with the black or white side facing inward to better match your decor.
The aptly named Flatenna is really flat as a piece of paper. Simply attach one end of the 12-foot cord to the bottom and the other end to your TV’s coaxial input. (Yes, that means there’s an ugly wire running up your wall; consider a channel kit like this to help disguise it.)
The Channel Master promises a range of up to 35 miles, but of course this depends on a variety of factors. As noted above, optimal placement—as high as possible and unobstructed—makes all the difference.
The big news here is the price: At just $29, the Flatenna is affordable and a good place to start your antenna journey—assuming you’re okay with a black or white rectangle stuck to a wall or window.
