NFL free live streams: How to watch 2024 preseason football games online without cable image

Football season is closer than ever to officially being back.

The 2024 NFL preseason continues Thursday, Aug. 8 and is set to run for three more weeks, giving fans a buildup of excitement before the start of the regular season.

This a chance for fans to get their fix, rookies to acclimate themselves, vets to tune up and for others to fight for a spot on the roster. Expect to see some inspired play as players make sure they are prepared for the long season ahead. Teams get to find out what type of depth they have, making the preseason extra exciting for fantasy players who are looking for a late-round stash.

This year marks the third consecutive campaign that there are three weeks of preseason action.

Here's a look at how you can watch and live stream all NFL preseason contests.

NFL free live streams for 2024 preseason

Fubo

Every preseason game broadcast nationally or on NFL Network will also be available to stream on Fubo, which comes with a free trial.

Much like NFL+, Fubo offers access to original NFL Network programming. That includes shows like "Total Access," "NFL GameDay" and "Good Morning Football" in addition to programming from other networks.

National broadcasts

This year, four preseason contests will broadcast on national networks, including one on Amazon Prime. Fox, NBC and CBS will carry one game each.

NBC's stream can be accessed via the NBC Sports appPeacock or its website; CBS will live stream games on the CBS Sports app and on its website. All providers will require users to sign in with TV provider credentials.

Meanwhile, NFL Network will broadcast 23 preseason games in 2024, all of which will be able to stream on a regional basis in the NFL app or via the NFL's official website.

NFL Network will also carry replays of every preseason game that will air periodically throughout the months of August and September before the start of the season.

NFL+

NFL+ is a streaming service the NFL launched in 2022 to replace NFL Game Pass. It will offer access to all live, out-of-market preseason games; live, local broadcasts of regular and postseason contests; and both full-game replays as well as condensed game recaps.

NFL+ will cost just $39.99 yearly compared to the $99.99 price of Game Pass. It also comes with a seven-day free trial.
