The 2025 NFL preseason football games are mostly broadcast on each team’s local TV affiliate network. Additionally, national broadcasts of preseason games appear on major networks including ABC, CBS, FOX, ESPN, NBC, and Amazon Prime Video. Here is a summary of channels where you can watch the preseason games:

• Local TV affiliates for regional matchups
• National TV: ABC, CBS, FOX, ESPN, NBC
• Streaming: Amazon Prime Video (exclusive games like Week 3 Patriots vs. Giants), NFL Network, and streaming services such as FuboTV, Sling TV, DirecTV Stream
• NFL+ for out-of-market fans to watch live games not televised locally
• Over-the-air antenna can pick up games on FOX, NBC, and CBS for free if you have access to those local stations

For example, the first Monday Night Football preseason game (Bengals vs. Commanders, August 18) is on ESPN. Thursday Night Football preseason games will be on NBC, Peacock, and Prime Video. So depending on the specific game, you can watch preseason football on these key channels/networks: ESPN, NBC, CBS, FOX, NFL Network, Amazon Prime Video, or local affiliates.
