The Carolina Panthers had a tumultuous 2023 season, finishing with a dismal 2-15 record, making them the worst team in the NFL and unable to secure a victory on the road. Compounding their struggles, the Panthers did not retain their top draft pick, having traded it to the Chicago Bears to select quarterback Bryce Young.
As the Panthers look to rebound, they will face the New Orleans Saints in their first game of 2024. The Saints narrowly missed the playoffs last season, ending with a 9-8 record, placing them ninth in the NFC and second in their division, losing out on tiebreakers to the Seahawks, Packers, and Buccaneers.
The NFC South rivals are set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Fans wanting to catch the game on Fox can also find streaming options, particularly if local blackout restrictions pose a challenge.
Bryce Young had a busy rookie season, completing 315 of 527 passes. Fans can utilize a VPN for online viewing if they encounter restrictions or want to ensure a stable connection while streaming. A VPN allows users to virtually change their location, offering a solution if local blackout zones interfere with access.
For those in the U.S., the game will be available on Fox, accessible through several live TV streaming services. Among the more affordable options is Sling TV Blue, which includes Fox in select markets, with overall subscriptions costing around $45.
Other live TV streaming services such as YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV, and Fubo also carry local Fox stations, though they generally come at a higher price. For an economical way to access Fox, viewers might also consider an over-the-air antenna, which requires a good reception but no ongoing fees.
Fans looking to stream the game should ensure they have a reliable internet connection and check the local availability of channels through their chosen streaming services.
