Football Is Back! How Do I Watch NFL Preseason Games This Year?

The NFL Preseason is here! But how can you watch your favorite teams?

It's time to fire up the grill, grab your friends, and get ready for some football. The 2022 NFL Preseason is ready to kick-off and the starters, backups, and coaches alike are ready to take the field.

Being that it is the preseason, not all games are easily able to be televised and watched during the season. Typically, New York sports fans would get localized games, but the preseason is different.

If your T.V. station is "in-market", which none are in Central or Upstate New York, it will be broadcasted on their channel. Anyone out of market has to find other ways to watch, unless it's being played on the NFL Network.

Check out the full list below of each game for the next three weeks to try and watch your team!
