Where and how to watch NFL Week 1 Pre-season

The NFL Pre-season will be broadcast across several networks. Here are a few of the options to watch NFL Week 1 Pre-season.

USA:

NFL Network

NFL’s very own NFL Network will be broadcasting the majority of the games during the first week. The rest of the games which are not broadcasted can be seen on regional channels depending on one’s region.

An NFL Game Pass is required for the same. It costs $99.99 for a season.

NBC and CBS

A few of the games are broadcasted by NBC and CBS as well. The major media networks will be broadcasting two games during week 1. While NBC will be broadcasting Giants vs Jets on the 14th of August, CBS will be showing Rams vs Chargers that same night.

Sling TV and Fubo

Sling TV and Fubo are not broadcasters, but instead they offer various channels through subscriptions. With a $35 month subscription a majority of the NFL games can be followed live on Sling TV.

Fubo is quite similar as well. It offers various channels like NBC, CBS, Fox, and has a 7-day free trial period.

UK:

There are a couple of streaming options in the United Kingdom as well, with SkySports being the major player.

Fans in the United Kingdom can purchase an NFL pass that costs 147.99 Euros for the entire season. Quite expensive in comparison to USA’s $99.99.

Other options are provided by SkySports and BBC’s iPlayer. SkySports currently has a channel dedicated to NFL, called SkySports NFL, and live action can be caught on the channel.

BBC’s iPlayer is predominantly for the casuals who would like to catchup with the highlights and stories. Live streaming is not provided by BBC’s iPlayer.
